Heretic Quotes - Page 6

• No soy experto en otras tradiciones religiosas, así que no voy a opinar sobre ellas, pero en el islam cuanto más sabes sobre la religión, más probabilidades tienes de ir al infierno. A mucha gente le parecerá paradójico porque tendemos a pensar en la religión como una forma de hacernos sentir mejor y una forma de condenar y excluir a infieles o réprobos o herejes o lo que sea. A mí me costó mucho encontrar un islam que me perteneciera y que no me pareciera que me lo habían impuesto.

• ... cuando los españoles perseguían a los herejes podían haber sido crudos, pero no estaban siendo irrazonables o poco prácticos. Eran al menos más sabios que la gente de hoy que pretende que no importa lo que un hombre crea, como quien dice que el sabor y la digestibilidad de un pudín no tienen nada que ver con sus ingredientes.

• For Christians to be linked in association with ministries who do not preach the gospel of Christ is to incur moral guilt. A Union which can continue irrespective of whether its member churches belong to a common faith is not fulfilling any scriptural function. The preservation of a denominational association when it is powerless to discipline heretics cannot be justified on the grounds of the preservation of 'Christian unity'... It is error which breaks the unity of churches, and to remain in a denominational alignment which condones error is to support schism.

• Pero tanto si los riesgos a los que nos expone la libertad son morales como físicos, nuestro derecho a la libertad implica el derecho a correrlos. Un hombre que no es libre de arriesgar su cuello como aviador o su alma como hereje no es libre en absoluto; y el derecho a la libertad comienza, no a los 21 años, sino a los 21 segundos.

• Y aunque los reformadores protestantes rompieron con Roma en diversos aspectos, el trato que dieron a sus semejantes no fue menos vergonzoso. Las ejecuciones públicas eran más populares que nunca: los herejes seguían siendo reducidos a cenizas, los eruditos eran torturados y asesinados por impertinentes muestras de razón, y los fornicadores eran asesinados sin ningún reparo.

• Pero, ¿por qué algunos apoyan [a los herejes]?" "Porque sirve a sus propósitos, que rara vez conciernen a la fe, y más a menudo a la conquista del poder". "¿Por eso la iglesia de Roma acusa de herejía a todos sus adversarios?". "Por eso, y por eso también reconoce como ortodoxia cualquier herejía que pueda volver a poner bajo su propio control o que deba aceptar porque la herejía se ha hecho demasiado fuerte.

• ¡Oh María Madre de Misericordia y Refugio de los Pecadores! Te suplicamos que mires con ojos compasivos a los pobres herejes y cismáticos. Tú, que eres la Sede de la Sabiduría, ilumina las mentes miserablemente envueltas en las tinieblas de la ignorancia y del pecado, para que reconozcan claramente que la Santa Iglesia Católica Romana es la única verdadera Iglesia de Jesucristo, fuera de la cual no se puede encontrar ni la santidad ni la salvación.

• I think present-day reason is an analogue of the flat earth of the medieval period. If you go too far beyond it you're presumed to fall off, into insanity. And people are very much afraid of that. I think this fear of insanity is comparable to the fear people once had of falling off the edge of the world. Or the fear of heretics. There's a very close analogue there.

• Toasted Heretic should have been cherished and helped, rather than ignored or sneered at, or put down as "quirky band with an arrogant singer". So I certainly didn't help the band, but the virtues I had meant that we recorded albums when everyone else just listened to them. But, yes, if you could suffer from high self-esteem, then I certainly suffered.

• Anyone who is outside this Church ... is walking a path not to Heaven but to Hell. He is not getting closer to the home of eternal. life; on the contrary, he is hurrying to the torment of eternal death. And this is the case not only if he remains a pagan without Baptism, but even if he continue as a heretic after having been baptized.

• Take note, theologians, that in your desire to make matters of faith out of propositions relating to the fixity of sun and earth you run the risk of eventually having to condemn as heretics those who would declare the earth to stand still and the sun to change position-eventually, I say, at such a time as it might be physically or logically proved that the earth moves and the sun stands still.

• Attorney General John Ashcroft has earned himself a remarkable distinction as the Torquemada of American law. Tomás de Torquemada...was largely responsible for...[the] torture and the burning of heretics — Muslims in particular. Now, of course, I am not accusing the Attorney General of pulling out anyone's fingernails or burning people at the stake (at least I don't know of any such cases). But one does get the sense these days that the old Spaniard's spirit is comfortably at home in Ashcroft's Department of Justice.

• "If any man thirst, let him come and drink from the rivers of living water" (cf. John 7:38). Where shall he who thirsts come? To heretics where the fountain and river of water is in no way life-giving? Or to the Church, which is One?
