Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000835579
Give me priests who are fat and corrupt and cynical,( ... ) the sort who like to sit on soft satin cushions, nibble sweetmeats, and diddle little boys. It's the ones who believe in gods who make the trouble. (Tyrion)

The priest knows, as every one knows, that there is no longer any "God," or any "sinner," or any "Saviour" that "free will" and the "moral order of the world" are lies : serious reflection, the profound self conquest of the spirit, allow no man to pretend that he does not know it.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001678509
With the advance of knowledge, therefore, prayer and sacrifice assume the leading place in religious ritual; and magic; which once ranked with them as a legitimate equal, is gradually relegated to the background and sinks to the level of a black art.

One does not have to be a priest to be a man!
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001077022
I'm a priest, not a priestess. Priestess implies mumbo jumbo and all sorts of pagan goings-on. Those who oppose us would love to call us priestesses. They can call us all the names in the world
it's better than being invisible.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000188877
Nature indeed plants the seeds of religion--fear and ignorance; kingcraft and priestcraft water and tend it.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001486483
I finally found out how priests get holy water. They boil the hell out of it.

Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001675220
Worship shadows eternity and provides supernatural encouragement.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001424904
I feel in me the vocation of the Priest. I have the vocation of the Apostle. Martyrdom was the dream of my youth, and this dream has grown with me. Considering the mystical body of the Church, I desired to see myself in them all.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000134779
This is th' abyss. Behold wherein I lurk
The lazar-house my mind, wherein do work
The horrid charnel-priests, whose loathly song
Sickens my soul, and quells the spirit strong.

I shall always be a priest of love.

Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000188252
In the priesthood we share the sacred duty to labor for the souls of men. We must do more than learn that this is our duty. It must go down into our hearts so deeply that neither the many demands on our efforts in the bloom of life nor the trials that come with age can turn us from that purpose.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001609975
In cathedral or cottage, the art of worship is an inner adventure; it is the personal practice of the presence of God.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001363648
The legal system is often a mystery, and we, its priests, preside over rituals baffling to everyday citizens.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000314207

Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000859776
All work was designed by God to be priestly work.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001162969
The priest raises his foot. In it he feels a dull, heavy pain. This is no mere formality. He will now trample on what he has considered the most beautiful thing in his life, on what he has believed most pure, on what is filled with the ideals and the dreams of man.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001806138
You need the devotion to your work that a priest of God has for his.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000409951

Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000079641
It is not Christianity, but priestcraft that has subjected woman as we find her.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001389740
The poor priest went to his poor mountaineers with empty hands, and he returns from them with his hands full. I set out bearing only my faith in God; I have brought back the treasure of a cathedral.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000583637
On Sundays, at the matin-chime, The Alpine peasants, two and three, Climb up here to pray; Burghers and dames, at summer's prime, Ride out to church from Chamberry, Dight with mantles gay, But else it is a lonely time Round the Church of Brou.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001478696
The truly inspired priest is the man or woman with the big brain. It
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001026835
Hallowed be thy name, oh Lord
and shotgun do your stuff
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000899015
[priests are] the pretenders to power and dominion, and to a superior sanctity of character, distinct from virtue and good morals.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000197297
A true priest is aware of the presence of the altar during every moment that he is conducting a service. It is exactly the same way that a true artist should react to the stage all the time he is in the theater. An actor who is incapable of this feeling will never be a true artist.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001813138
The man who has no mind of his own lends it to the priests.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000515596
In the presence of love, hearth and quest become one.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001875637
The evil of the Church is the doing of Church work in a spirit of business, something to be got through. The only way to avoid this is for the priest to be instant in prayer. If he is not, he will lose that touch of the supernatural, without which he has no right to be a priest at all.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001770428
Shamanism is being reinvented in the West precisely because it is needed
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001508057
But a priest's life is not supposed to be well-rounded; it is supposed to be one-pointed - a compass, not a weathercock.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000158401
Just for tonight, let's pretend I'm not a priest and you're not crazy. We're just two normal human beings having a good time. Just a man and a woman at a rip-off carnival, living in the moment.

When there were no churches, no creeds or sects, but when every man was a priest unto himself
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000617531
Every altar worth its salt must have an offered sacrificial Lamb, a consuming burning fire, an ascending smoke, a priest and the receiver (God)
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001648842
Obedience decks the Christian most.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000749723
The sacraments infuse holiness into the terrain of man's humanity: they penetrate the soul and body, the femininity and masculinity of the personal subject, with the power of holiness.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001764286
Man should tremble, the world should vibrate, all heaven should be deeply moved when the Son of God appears on the altar in the hands of the priest.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001059904
PSEUDO-CHRYSOSTOM. But regard must be had to this, after what sort each man fills his seat; for not the seat makes the Priest, but the Priest the seat; the place does not consecrate the man, but the man the place. A wicked Priest derives guilt and not honour from his Priesthood.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000651547
Despite its prominence now, you don't stumble onto the path of shamanism. That odd trail blazes itself to you.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000401233
Because the priest must have like every dog his day
Or keep us all awake with baying at the moon,
We and our dolls being but the world were best away.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000550891
There will soon be no more priests ... They may wait awhile, perhaps a generation or two, dropping off by degrees. A superior breed shall take their place. A new order shall arise and they shall be the priests of man, and every man shall be his own priest.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001062315
The priest is not made. He must be born a priest; must inherit his office. I refer to the new birth-the birth of water and the Spirit. Thus all Christians must became priests, children of God and co-heirs with Christ the Most High Priest.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001596471
Sacred souls serve.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001078687
Proud Prelate, you know what you were before I made you what you are. If you do not immediately comply with my request I will unfrock you by God!
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000345351
I'm a lapsed altar boy.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000128167
A ritual becomes the match that lights the kindred celebration candle of sacred moments long ago ... tantalizing these entombed spirits to surface again.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001417616
You are my priest. You are my prayer. You are my release.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001227011
From the solemn gloom of the temple children run out to sit in the dust, God watches them play and forgets the priest.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001694072
The first priest I find, I'm goan to marry you. I'm all in, peekon.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000904867
Programs, systems and methods sit well in the ivory towers of monasteries or in the wooden arms of icons. Head knowledge comes from the pages of a theology text. But the invitation to know God - truly know Him - is always an invitation to suffer. Not to suffer alone, but to suffer with Him.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000544128
Oh, that the wise from their bright minds would kindle
Such lamps within the dome of this dim world
That the pale name of priest might shrink and dwindle
Into the Hell from which it first was furled.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000426484
How much filth there is in the church, even among those who, in the priesthood, should belong entirely to Him. How much pride, how much self-sufficiency.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000365228
When I am away from Liturgy for too long, I find I burn for it now, for the steadiness of the calendar, the words" that ring out in repetition, the heavy scented air. When I return each week, I am coming home again. Liturgy is written into my flesh, sinking into my skin and my spirit.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000761044
Whoever the priest is, he is called Father.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001362189
What else would a poet priest do on an endless night, but write of love? ...
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001742598
Women priests. Great, great. Now there's priests of both sexes I don't listen to.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000345703
There are sermons in stones, but it depends on how good your aim is.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000405933
priests dressed in skirts try to trump women's birth-giving power by baptizing with imitation birth fluid, calling us reborn, and going women one better by promising everlasting life. Indeed,
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000155438
I wanted passionately to be a priest.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000642327
Don't you understand, mister, you are royalty and God has chosen you to be priest of your home?
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001064452
On Sundays, the pretending felt almost as natural as nature. The chapel was our favorite place. Long before we could understand what the priest was saying, the music instructed us in how to feel.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000388412
Plays ... Maidens aspiring to Godheads and vice versa!
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001344206
Like the priestly cult of the Middle Ages, the modern priestly cult of "scientific" psychotherapists exist overwhelmingly to stultify or blunt a too-acute insight into the powers benumbed in our personalities by our prevailing culture.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001606303
Mothers, wives and maids, These be the tools with which priests manage men.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000842018
A rare objectivity and insight can be imparted regarding this world's struggle for spiritual integrity. In the land of Faerie, the reader may see his small battles writ large in the wars of titans or elves and understand for the first time, his own worth.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000101786
Seek the Babe with Brother One
Honour the Brother with his Blade of Souls
Worship the Mother with her Shield of Stars
Remember the Knight with Demons Dead
Respect them all - for all are One
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001224755
Light, more light!"
But the closer the priest came to his goal, the less man there was in him, the more beast.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001600130
A soldier of fortune with twisted tongue will come to pillage the sanctuary of the gods; To the heretics he will open the gate, thus stirring up the Church militant.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000538490
The priesthood is not dying, but the clerical state is dead. It needs to be buried, preferably with a Viking funeral in Boston Harbor so nobody can miss the spectacle of its passing.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001706403
the not uncommon sexual humiliation of priests as a prelude to their murder,
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000925498
The genuine priest always feels something higher than compassion.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000441239
A radiant fellowship of the fallen.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000404274
[There is a real need] to search out the real Church from age to age,... indeed a work of much labour and difficulty... The ore is precious, but it must be extracted from incredible heaps of Ecclesiastical rubbish.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001546394
But the unfaithful priest, what tongue
Enough, shall execrate?
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000530349
The Catholic Church is a weird church. Much mysticism is sown broadspread from its ritual mysteries till it extends into the very lives of its constituents and parishoners.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000576036
My hobby is extreme Catholic behavior
BEFORE the Reformation.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000378197

Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000651962
And when you spoke to me, I did not know
That to my life's high altar came its priest.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001496200
The highest service that men may attain to on earth is to preach the word of God. This service falls peculiarly to priests, and therefore, God more directly demands it of them.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001186982
The ruin of Paganism, in the age of Theodosius, is perhaps the only example of the total extirpation of any ancient and popular superstition; and may therefore deserve to be considered, as a singular event in the history of the human mind.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001260830
Let the inner god that is in each one of us speak. The temple is your body, and the priest is your heart: it is from here that every awareness must begin.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000656920
As God commands us men to teach your wife, to teach your children - to be the spiritual leader of your family - you're acting as a priest. Now, unfortunately, unfortunately, in too many Christian homes, the role of the priest is assumed by the wife.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001848284
One thought of thee puts all the pomp to flight;
Priests, tapers, temples, swim before my sight.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000855645
God's training ground, where the missionary weapons are found, is the hidden, personal, worshiping life of the saint.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000946539
Anthropologically informed works, from Sir James Frazer's Golden Bough to Pascal Boyer's Religion Explained or Scott Atran's In Gods We Trust, fascinatingly document the bizarre phenomenology of superstition and ritual. Read such books and marvel at the richness of human gullibility. But that is not
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001261267
The goal of priestly ministry is to do good to the souls of men.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001611601

Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000970373
The ministry has fallen. Scrimgeour is dead. They are coming.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000312777
How anyone could endure three or four hours of chanting monks and ranting priests was beyond my understanding, just as it was beyond my understanding to know why bishops needed thrones. They would be demanding crowns next.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001294346
There's something about you that smells a little of a Christian priest. I find it offensive.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 000552524
A broken Altar, Lord, thy servant rears, Made of a heart, and cemented with tears.
Priestcraft Quotes : pic 001599440
The workshop of missionary munitions is the hidden, personal, worshipping life of the saint.
