“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
“Protestantism has the method of Jesus with His secret too much left out of mind; Catholicism has His secret with His method too much left out of mind; neither has His unerring balance, His intuition, His sweet reasonableness. But both have hold of a great truth, and get from it a great power.”
Matthew Arnold
“The feeling of a direct responsibility of the individual to God is almost wholly a creation of Protestantism”
John Stuart Mill
“I think what we are seeing is the detribalizing of Protestantism, in that if you have a large external constituency, which would identify culturally or historically with a particular denomination, then obviously it's a plus factor to have that identification,”
Eddie Gibbs
“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
