Protestantism
has the method of Jesus with His secret too much left out of
mind; Catholicism has His secret with His method too much
left out of mind; neither has His unerring balance, His
intuition, His sweet reasonableness. But both have hold of a
great truth, and get from it a great power.
-- Matthew Arnold
1822-1888, British Poet,

Christianity
has operated with an unmitigated arrogance and cruelty --
necessarily, since a religion ordinarily imposes on those
who have discovered the true faith the spiritual duty of
liberating the infidels.
-- James Baldwin
1924-1987, American Author
A Christian is
nothing but a sinful man who has put himself to school for
Christ for the honest purpose of becoming better.
