When Catholicism goes bad it becomes the religion of amulets and holy places and priestcraft: Protestantism, in its corresponding decay, becomes a vague mist of ethical platitudes
- C.S. LewisAnyone who is to find Christ must first find the church. How could anyone know where Christ is and what faith is in him unless he knew where his believers are?
- Martin LutherJesus died to forgive our sins. Dare we make his martyrdom meaningless by not committing them?
- Jules FeifferJesus said unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live (John 11:25).
- BibleWe don`t call a man mad who believes that he eats God, but we do the one who says he is Jesus Christ
- Claude Adrien HelvetiusYou don`t need to be Catholic to be Catholic anymore. If you dissent, you don`t get out. Martin Luther looks like a prince compared to these people because he knew when it was time to go.
- James P. McFaddenThe Bible remained for me a book of books, still divine - but divine in the sense that all great books are divine which teach men how to live righteously.
- Joseph JoubertIf all the bones of all the victims of the Catholic Church could be gathered together, a monument higher than all the pyramids would rise
- Robert Green IngersollI would not believe in the Gospel if the authority of the Catholic Church did not move me to do so
- Saint AugustineFor Catholics before Vatican II, the land of the free was pre-eminently the land of Sister Says-except, of course, for Sister, for whom it was the land of Father Says.
