J C Murray

Murray defended the distinction between private and public morality, and that the Church should not attempt to impose Catholic morality in the public sphere. He failed to see the results of sexual licentiousness. He believed too strongly in the democratic ideal. He did not realize the necessity of restraint.

J.C.Murray

Its most striking characteristic is its profound materialism . . . It has given citizens everything to live for and nothing to die for.

SJ

The Society of Judas.

Canadian bishops & D and P

This world has never seen such a disastrous generation of bishops like this one.

Science

Scientists are absolutely sure of something until they change their mind upon receiving new information.

The State did not own men so entirely, even when it could send them to the stake, as it sometimes does now where it can send them to the elementary school.

Secularism

The history of modernity is, among other things, the history of substitutes for God. Art, culture, nation, Geist, humanity, society: all these, along with a clutch of other hopeful aspirants, have been tried from time to time. The most successful candidate currently on offer is sport, which, short of providing funeral rites for its spectators, fulfils almost every religious function in the book.
