Catholic Theologians

Famous quotes containing the words catholic and/or theologians:

“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)

“I don’t like Switzerland; it has produced nothing but theologians and waiters.”
