Famous quotes containing the words catholic church, mass, catholic and/or church:

    “It is time that the Protestant Church, the Church of the Son, should be one again with the Roman Catholic Church, the Church of the Father. It is time that man shall cease, first to live in the flesh, with joy, and then, unsatisfied, to renounce and to mortify the flesh.”
    —D.H. (David Herbert)

    “The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.”
    —Henry David Thoreau (1817–1862)

    “A vegetarian is not a person who lives on vegetables, any more than a Catholic is a person who lives on cats.”
    —George Bernard Shaw (1856–1950)

    “It is an evil world. The fires of hatred and violence burn fiercely. Evil is powerful, the devil covers a darkened earth with his black wings. And soon the end of the world is expected. But mankind does not repent, the church struggles, and the preachers and poets warn and lament in vain.”
    —Johan Huizinga (1872–1945)
