For the unbelieving husband is sanctified by the wife, and the unbelieving wife is sanctified by the husband:else were your children unclean;but now they are holy./ I find this a "hard saying" even references have not truly helped satisfy it for me. I know St. Paul is not writing of a sanctification by "proxy", and even looking at the whole chapter has not truly "opened" this for me. Would LOVE feedback from our PB Pastors and Seminarians though input by armchir theologians is most welcome.
