Alfonsus de Liguori 1696 - 1787 : Pujangga Gereja - Calon Penghuni Neraka

"Kasihan kau, Bapa tua, gara-gara ajaranmu, kau akan masuk neraka" Begitulah tanggapan yang hidup sezaman dengan Santo Alfonsus tentang diri dan ajarannya. Tetapi, apa yang terjadi? Alfonsus tidak masuk neraka. Sebaliknya, ia digelar Santo dan Pujangga Gereja justru karena ajaran dan teladan hidupnya.

E-book Understanding Basic Music Theory

People were talking long before they invented writing. People were also making music long before anyone wrote any music down.
