People came into the Church in the Roman Empire because the Church was so good-Catholics were so good to one another, and they were so good to pagans, too. High-pressure evangelization strikes me as an attempt to deprive people of their freedom of choice.
Andrew Greeley
Image
The leadership lost its nerve. Instead of taking the lead in the reform movement... they pulled the plug on it. They tried and are still trying to return the church to the dry ice of the previous century and a half.
Andrew Greeley
Image
All contemporary religions and churches, all and every kind of religious organization, Marxism has always viewed as organs of bourgeois reaction, serving as a defense of exploitation and the doping of the working-classes.
Vladimir Lenin
Image
In the church of my heart the choir is on fire
Vladimir Mayakovsky
Image
There were no politics to polarize us then, to magnify every slight. The negroes of Washington had their public schools, restaurants, bars, movie houses, playgrounds and churches and we had ours.
Pat Buchanan
Image
I give money for church organs in the hope the organ music will distract the congregation's attention from the rest of the service.
Andrew Carnegie
Image
It is a promise which eminently deserves our observation that all who are united to Christ and acknowledge Him to be Christ and Mediator will remain to the end safe from all danger, for what is said of the body of the Church belongs to each of its members since they are one in Christ.
John Calvin
Image
I have always felt that my work is religious, not sacrilegious. I would say that there are many individuals in the Church who appreciate it and who do not have a problem with it. The best place for Piss Christ is in a church.
Andres Serrano
Image
I like the aesthetics of the Church.
Andres Serrano
Image
As a former Catholic, and as someone who even today is not opposed to being called a Christian, I felt I had every right to use the symbols of the Church and resented being told not to.
Andres Serrano
Image
Ever since the civil rights movement, the black church has always encouraged people to utilize their voting right, which is a right that was fought for.
Otis Moss III
Image
I put up with this church, in the hope that one day it will become better, just as it is constrained to put up with me in the hope that I will become better.
Desiderius Erasmus
Image
Let Catholics build their own churches and works.
Vladimir Zhirinovsky
Image
I go to churches to pray, but I don't go to mass.
Andrea Corr

The election of John F Kennedy will lead to the death of a free church and a free state.
W. A. Criswell
Image
Though man's feeling for the other-worldly often has recourse to solitude, solitude does not foster its development rather, it is nourished by communion, to which the church is more propitious than the cemetery.
Andre Malraux
Image
One my favorite things is to go to the provinces of Russia and see the 18th century wood churches with the onion dome architecture. These humble wonders of incredible imagination of architects that were obviously not living in places like Paris or London, but they've created these amazing churches.
Andre Leon Talley
Image
When I was a young boy, growing up in Durham, North Carolina, the women in my family were truly passionate about their clothes nothing was more beautiful to me than women dressing with the utmost, meticulous attention to accessories, shoes, handbags, hats, coats, dresses and gloves to attend Sunday church services.
Andre Leon Talley
Image
Where Church and State are habitually associated, it is natural that minds, even of a high order, should unconsciously come to regard religion as only a subtler mode of police.
James Russell Lowell
Image
I refused to teach Sunday school. When Archdeacon Henry Phillips, my last rector, died, I flatly refused again to join any church or sign any church creed. From my 30th year on I have increasingly regarded the church as an institution which defended such evils as slavery, color caste, exploitation of labor and war.
W. E. B. Du Bois
Image
Despite the slowness, the infidelity, the errors and sins it committed and might still commit against its members, the Church, trust me, has no other meaning and goal but to live and witness Jesus.
Pope Francis
Image
The twentieth century saw the emergence of a Churchless Mission and a Missionless Church
Eddie Gibbs

The Almighty can hardly be such a fool as the churches make out.
W. Somerset Maugham
Image
We were environmentalists of the Teddy Roosevelt theory. We believed in separation of church and state. We believed in the independence of the Supreme Court not being subject to politicians.
