“Catholicism is not a soothing religion. It's a painful religion. We're all gluttons for punishment.”
Madonna
“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. Lewis
“Anyone 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 Luther
“If I were going to convert to any religion I would probably choose Catholicism because it at least has female saints and the Virgin Mary.”
Margaret Atwood
“The 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 Joubert
“Jesus 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).”
Bible
“A religion such as Judaism or Catholicism might survive even if it comes to reject a literal account of God creating man and animals. But it cannot survive the rejection of an immaterial soul.”
Paul Bloom
