Indians, of course, have no theology, and indeed no word for the system of credulity in which the white priests arrange for God, who must be entirely bewildered by it, a series of excuses for his failures.
Sinclair Lewis
Image
Priests ... these turkey-cocks of God.
Friedrich Nietzsche
Image
Don't stop there. I suppose there are also, what, vampires and werewolves and zombies? Of course there are. Although you mostly find zombies farther south, where the voudun priests are. What about mummies? Do they only hang around Egypt? Don't be ridiculous. No one believes in mummies.
Cassandra Clare

First of all, [St. Stephen's] is a radical church. It was one of the first DC churches to have gay ceremonies. A woman said mass there, which almost got a priest excommunicated there Black Panthers spoke at the church it was a sanctuary for civil rights protesters and anti-war protesters.

But now I see well the old proverb is true: That parish priest forgetteth that ever he was a clerk!
John Heywood
Image
...many of the officials, courtiers, and priests, representing the upper class of Egyptian society but not the royalty, looked strikingly like modern Europeans, especially long-headed ones
Carleton S. Coon

We need the expressive arts, the ancient scribes, the storytellers, the priests.
Tanith Lee
Image
History, I believe, furnishes no example of a priest-ridden people maintaining a free civil government. This marks the lowest grade of ignorance of which their civil as well as religious leaders will always avail themselves for their own purposes.
Thomas Jefferson
Image
Royce Westmoreland stared at him with biting scorn. I despise hypocrisy, particularly when it is coated with holiness. May I ask for a specific example? Fat priests, Royce replied, with fat purses, who lecture staving peasants on the dangers of gluttony and the merits of poverty.
Judith McNaught
Image
Preach in the name of God. The learned will smile ask the learned what they have done for their country. The priests will excommunicate you . . .
Giuseppe Mazzini
Image
I became an altar boy because of the solemn face, but I got thrown out at fourteen for laughing. Because the priest used to mumble everything except the church plate takings.
Elvis Costello
Image
Although I am a committed Catholic priest, and nowhere hide that fact, my focus is very much a spiritual journey.
Henri Nouwen
Image
Every cradle asks us, Whence? and every coffin, Whither? The poor barbarian, weeping above his dead, can answer these questions as intelligently as the robed priest of the most authentic creed.
Robert Green Ingersoll
Image
You are priests, not social or political leaders. Let us not be under the illusion that we are serving the Gospel through an exaggerated interest in the wide field of temporal problems.
Pope John Paul II
Image
Whoever truly worships the gods loves their priests.
Statius
Image
Canon law itself says for one case of guilt, a priest can be dismissed from the clerical state. One.
Roger Mahony
Image
Whores perform the same function as priests, but far more thoroughly.
Robert A. Heinlein
Image
Our civilized world is nothing but a great masquerade. You encounter knights, parsons, soldiers, doctors, lawyers, priests, philosophers and a thousand more: but they are not what they appear - they are merely masks... Usually, as I say, there is nothing but industrialists, businessmen and speculators concealed behind all these masks.
Arthur Schopenhauer
Image
Anytime you write about priests or cops, they're hot-button professions.
Ann Patchett
Image
Perhaps the individual is so viable a god because he can actually understand the ceremonial significance of the way he is treated, and quite on his own can respond dramatically to what is proffered him. In contacts between such deities there is no need for middlemen each of these gods is able to serve as his own priest.
Erving Goffman
Image
My parents were part of the Christian Family Movement, where we would have Masses said in our home and rotate with other families. I recall priests coming to our home and saying Mass in our living room. Catholicism was really woven through so much.
Catherine Hicks
Image
The Christians are always singing about the blood. Let us give them enough of it! Let us cut their throats and drag them over the altar! And let them drown in their own blood! I dream of the day when the last priest is strangled on the guts of the last preacher.
Gus Hall
Image
Priests are not men of the world it is not intended that they should be and a University training is the one best adapted to prevent their becoming so.
Samuel Butler
Image
As a parish priest of the Church Of England I promise to look after everyone in the community, not just those who come to church, not just white people, not just the Christians.
