QUOTATION: Morality

Neither Catholicism nor any other form of Christianity pretends to have a special morality of its own; religion is meant to enforce, not to supersede, the natural code of morals. (Christianity, for example, forbids suicide; but then, so did Plato.) Ideally, the perfect pagan should interpret his moral duties exactly as a Christian would.

--Msgr Ronald Knox, The Belief of Catholics, 1927

QUOTATION: The Unborn Christ and The Blessed Mother

He is in her as in a temple where He praises and adores God; where He offers His respects to the eternal Father, not only for Himself but for every creature. It is a holy and sacred temple where Jesus dwells, the true ark of the true covenant. It is the first AND HOLIEST TEMPLE OF JESUS.

--Cardinal Pierre de Bérulle

QUOTATION: Self-Mastery

To be subjected to our lusts, and to yield to them, is the most extreme form of slavery. To keep those lusts in subjection is the only liberty.

--St. Clement of Alexandria
