Famous quotes containing the word clergy:

    “To impose celibacy on such a large body as the clergy of the Catholic Church is not to forbid it to have wives but to order it to be content with the wives of others.”
    —Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778)

    “Burn Ovid with the rest. Lovers will find
    A hedge-school for themselves and learn by heart
    All that the clergy banish from the mind,”
    —Austin Clarke (1896–1974)

    “I never saw, heard, nor read, that the clergy were beloved in any nation where Christianity was the religion of the country. Nothing can render them popular, but some degree of persecution.”
    —Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
