"Whoever he is, and whatever sort he is, he is not a Christian who is not in the Church of Christ." -St. Cyprian

"You are not to be looked upon as holding the true Catholic faith if you do not teach that the faith of Rome is to be held." -Pope Leo XIII

"Only by being radicals of the right will Catholics have the dynamism to withstand the radicals of the left and to conquer the world for Christ." -Pope Pius XI

"Cut off from the Body into which alone the graces of Christ flow, you are deprived of the benefit of all prayers, sacrifices, and Sacraments. You will gain nothing except perhaps to be tortured somewhat less horribly in the everlasting fire than Judas, or Luther, or Zwingli." -St. Edmund Campion

"Better that only a few Catholics should be left, staunch and sincere in their religion, than that they should, remaining many, desire as it were, to be in collusion with the Church's enemies and in conformity with the open foes of our faith." -St. Peter Canisius

"Peter has no need of our lies or flattery. Those who blindly and indiscriminately defend every decision of the Supreme Pontiff are the very ones who do most to undermine the authority of the Holy See - they destroy instead of strengthening its foundations." -Melchior Cano

"I am a Catholic. As far as possible I go to Mass every day. This is a rosary. As far as possible, I kneel down and tell these beads every day. If you reject me on account of my religion, I shall thank God that He has spared me the indignity of being your representative!" -Hilaire Belloc, in a campaign speech before being elected to Parliament

"America, it is said, is suffering from intolerance. It is not. It is suffering from tolerance of right and wrong, truth and error, virtue and evil, Christ and chaos. Our country is not nearly so much overrun with the bigoted as it is overrun with the broadminded...In the face of this broadmindedness, what the world needs is intolerance." -Archbishop Fulton Sheen
