It is now for the Catholic Church to bend herself to her work with calmness and generosity. It is for you to observe her with renewed and friendly attention.
The Bible and the Church have been the greatest stumbling blocks in the way of women's emancipation.
The fact that the church is convinced of not having the right to confer priestly ordination on women is now considered by some as irreconcilable with the European Constitution.
A revival does two things. First it returns the Church from her backsliding and second it causes the conversion of men and women and it always includes the conviction of sin on the part of the Church. What a spell the devil seems to cast over the Church today!
I saw a photograph of a wedding conducted by Reverend Moon of the Unification Church. I wanted to understand this event and the only way to understand it was to write about it.
I want a big church wedding.
You may invite the entire 35th Division to your wedding if you want to. I guess it's going to be yours as well as mine. We might as well have the church full while we are at it.
Saw a wedding in the church. It was strange to see what delight we married people have to see these poor fools decoyed into our condition.
Winston Churchill aroused this nation in heroic fashion to save civilisation in World War Two. We have everything we need except political will but political will is a renewable resource.
He who begins by loving Christianity more than Truth will proceed by loving his sect or church better than Christianity and end in loving himself better than all.
The day will come however when they will truly know the Unification Church and me. The day will come when the truth will be known and the message of love will be taught. On that day their regret will be deep.
Truth is the silliest thing under the sun. Try to get a living by the Truth and go to the Soup Societies. Heavens! Let any clergyman try to preach the Truth from its very stronghold the pulpit and they would ride him out of his church on his own pulpit bannister.
It is one of the ironies of the ministry that the very man who works in God's name is often hardest put to find time for God. The parents of Jesus lost Him at church and they were not the last ones to lose Him there.
The first thing I do when I start my day is I get down on my hands and knees and give thanks to God. Whenever I go outside of my house the first thing I do is stop at the church.
I've always loved sports and hockey is a sport I play as much as I can. I love it. In a weird way it's like church and therapy and exercise all rolled up into one. I mean when I play hockey I don't think about anything.
When cerebral processes enter into sports you start screwing up. It's like the Constitution which says separate church and state. You have to separate mind and body.
Sports teams people who follow sports teams religion churches work - any company I find that people just generally have a need to belong to something larger than themselves.
It sounds like a cliche but it... you do sing about what you know about. And I grew up in a small town and I grew up in a place where your whole world revolved around friends family school and church and sports.
The public school has become the established church of secular society.
Standards of conduct appropriate to civil society or the workings of a democracy cannot be purely and simply applied to the Church.
But actually so many of the clerics that I've met particularly the Church of England clerics are people of such extraordinary smugness and arrogance and conceitedness who are extraordinarily presumptuous about the significance of their position in society.
My training in Science of Mind had begun with my mother. She took me to a different church every Sunday and she encouraged me to question the minister afterward.
In the post-enlightenment Europe of the 19th century the highest authority was no longer the Church. Instead it was science. Thus was born racial anti-Semitism based on two disciplines regarded as science in their day - the 'scientific study of race' and the Social Darwinism of Herbert Spencer and Ernst Haeckel.
The church saves sinners but science seeks to stop their manufacture.
I talked about the need for American leadership I talked about the importance of the United States to a more peaceful world a world that has been quite turbulent in recent years and needs a strong American anchor.
