East Catholic

Famous quotes containing the words east and/or catholic:

    Though all the East did quake to hear
    Of Alexander’s dreadful name,
    And all the West likewise did fear
    To hear of Julius Caesar’s fame,
    Robert Southwell (1561?–1595)

    You do not mean by mystery what a Catholic does. You mean an interesting uncertainty: the uncertainty ceasing interest ceases also.... But a Catholic by mystery means an incomprehensible certainty: without certainty, without formulation there is no interest;... the clearer the formulation the greater the interest.
    Gerard Manley Hopkins (1844–1889)
