Christ Church

Famous quotes containing the words christ and/or church:

    Then when he saw it could hold no more,
    Bishop Hatto, he made fast the door;
    And while for mercy on Christ they call,
    He set fire to the barn and burnt them all.
    Robert Southey (1774–1843)

    It is the custom of the Roman Church which I unworthily serve with the help of God, to tolerate some things, to turn a blind eye to some, following the spirit of discretion rather than the rigid letter of the law.
    Pope Gregory VII (c. 1020–1085)
