Alitur vitium, vivitque tegendo,
Dum medicas adhibere manus ad vulnera pastor
Abnegat, aut meliora deos sedet omina poscens.
--
Give ills their vent, worse by concealment made, The while the shepherd, sitting in the shade, Doth supplicate the heavens above for aid.
--
Book III, lines 454-456 (translated by J. B. Rose)Virgil
Navita de ventis, de tauris narrat arator,
Enumerat miles vulnera, pastor oves.Sextus Propertius
Accessi confinium mortis et calcato Proserpinae limine per omnia vectus elementa remeavi, nocte media vidi solem candido coruscantem lumine, deos inferos et deos superos accessi coram et adoravi de proximo.
Apuleius
“When was it obvious she was ill?”
“Weeks ago. Or maybe—looking back on it—well—months.”
“Has she had any kind of medical attention?” Pause. “Simon?”
“No.”
“Why not?”
“It didn’t seem necessary.”
“It didn’t seem necessary?”
“Pastor Dan wouldn’t allow it.”
I thought: And did you tell Pastor Dan to go f**k himself?Robert Charles Wilson
We should be prepared to come to the defense of that priest, rabbi, minister, or layman of the Church, who out of commitment to truth and justice gets into a tight place with his pastor or bishop. It behooves us to stand with that man and help him see his trial through. It is our duty to see to it that his rights of conscience are respected and that no bishop, pastor or other higher body takes that God-given, human right away.
