"If these are onerous to you, Christ’s ministry must really gall."

"One of the things the Catholic Church fears least in this country is Protestantism. She considers it harmless, moribund, in the throes of disintegration.

- Rev. John H. Stapleton, "Explanation of Catholic Morals - A Concise, Reasoned, and Popular Exposition of Catholic Morals"
