Famous quotes containing the words roman and/or catholic:
“The Roman world is in collapse but we do not bend our neck.”
—Jerome (c. 340420)
“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 (18441889)
