The tax which will be paid for the purpose of education is not more than the thousandth part of what will be paid to kings, priests and nobles who will rise up among us if we leave the people in ignorance
Thomas Jefferson
Clergymen tend to be unreliable and pompous figures. Seldom Jewish rabbis, less often Catholic priests, but Protestant ministers tend to be ... not really very admirable. Not necessarily evil, but silly. And wrong, of course. - Talking about modern Hollyw...
Charlton Heston
I do remember having extreme physical fear of the priests. One of the things we had to do was kiss the priest`s hand, which I found revolting. The notorious abuser, who eventually had to leave, had this harem of about 20 boys.
Pedro Almodovar
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
When I look upon seamen, men of science and philosophers, man is the wisest of all beings; when I look upon priests and prophets nothing is as contemptible as man.
Alan Vinegrad
We have one of our priests in prison right now, Steve Kelly, for his antiwar actions, and three of us in the community are forbidden to visit him because we`re all convicted felons.
Daniel Berrigan
We don`t hire ministers or priests to teach and care for us. This forces us to teach and care for each other - and in my view, this is the core of Christian living as Christ taught it.
Alan Levy
Times have changed since George Herbert... but the principle and spirit in which he ministered as a priest remains an inspiration and model for all priests.
Al Frank
There are enormously gifted Episcopal priests around this church who are gay and lesbian, some of whom are partnered, who would make wonderful bishops and they`re going to be nominated and they`re going to be elected.
Alex Kaufman
priests roved around the ruins, selecting at random those they believed guilty of heresy and thus to blame for annoying the Divine, who in turn had ordered up the disaster. The priests had them hanged on the spot.

Let judges secretly despair of justice: their verdicts will be more acute. Let generals secretly despair of triumph; killing will be defamed. Let priests secretly despair of faith: their compassion will be true.
Leonard Cohen
Internet offers the church the opportunity to make the saving message of Christ accessible throughout the world, ... In societies that don`t allow the presence of priests, nuns, religious or lay missionaries, Internet can offer people undertaking a spirit...
Art Navarro
If priests were allowed to marry, if this would be an optional thing, and if he could have wife and children, he would certainly have less temptation to satisfy certain sexual impulses with minors.
Alexander Eliot
I firmly believe that if we need to sell church property to pay the victims of the hideous sexual abuse by priests against children in their care, we should do so.
John Cole
I don`t believe in organized religion - I dealt with them hand in hand, and a whole bunch of Catholic priests tried to molest me. Telling me I was gay and I should go home with them and stuff.
Jonathan Davis
I admire certain priests and nuns who go off on their own and do God`s work on their own, who help in the ghettos, but as far as the institution of the church is concerned, I think it is despicable.
Frank McCourt
How the early priests came into possession of these secrets does not appear, and if there were ever any records of this kind the Church would hardly allow them to become public.
Harry Houdini
By and large the people in our parishes, ... the priests tell me they think that the steps the Bishops of this country have taken have done a great job and are meeting the crisis. We`re doing a great educational outreach program trying to prevent abuse by...
Barry Breen
But this is an imperfect world, as actors, athletes, priests and presidents soon discover. Writers have known this from the day they read their first review.
Barbara Raasch
And a third thing is the understanding of the Church as a community, a communion which is just a hierarchy but the people of God, whose servants are the priests and bishops.
Alexander Eliot
Priests are no more necessary to religion than politicians to patriotism
