“I should as soon think of contradicting a bishop”
Samuel Johnson
“I think a bishop who doesn't give offence to anyone is probably not a good bishop.”
James Thomson
“I feel the bishop in my heart. I believe he's a man of God. I don't think he'd lead us the wrong way.”
Curtis Thompson
“I think there are a number of bishops -- and I put Cardinal Mahony in that category -- who listen too much to his lawyer and not enough to his heart.”
Frank Keating
“By and large the people in our parishes, ... the priests tell me they think that the steps the Bishops of this country have taken have done a great job and are meeting the crisis. We're doing a great educational outreach program trying to prevent abuse by clergy or anyone else.”
William Levada
“It was a blonde. A blonde to make a bishop kick a hole in a stained-glass window.”
Raymond Chandler
“OLEAGINOUS, adj. Oily, smooth, sleek. Disraeli once described the manner of Bishop Wilberforce as "unctuous, oleaginous, saponaceous." And the good prelate was ever afterward known as Soapy Sam. For every man there is something in the vocabulary that would stick to him like a second skin. His enemies have only to find it.”
Ambrose Bierce
