Famous quotes containing the words pope and/or pius:

    From pride, from pride, our very reas’ning springs;
    Account for moral, as for nat’ral things:
    Why charge we Heav’n in those, in these acquit?
    In both, to reason right is to submit.
    —Alexander Pope (1688–1744)

    It is an error to believe that the Roman Pontiff can and ought to reconcile himself to, and agree with, progress, liberalism, and contemporary civilization.
