A Buddhist or a good atheist is as acceptable to God as a good Catholic.
Pat Buckley
A Catholic is raised with the idea that he will die any minute now and if he doesn't live his life in a certain way, this death is an introduction to an eternity of pain.
Don DeLillo
A religion so cheerless, a philosophy so sorrowful, could never have succeeded with the masses of mankind if presented only as a system of metaphysics. Buddhism owed its success to its catholic spirit and its beautiful morality.
William Winwood Reade
Apparently God takes reception of Holy Communion seriously. Apparently some things are more sacred than politics. Apparently it's all or nothing when it comes to being Catholic.
Carl Olson
As a former Catholic, and as someone who even today is not opposed to being called a Christian, I felt I had every right to use the symbols of the Church and resented being told not to.
Andres Serrano
As a proud Catholic, I know the impact that faith-based education can have in our society and have witnessed it first hand in my district.
Joe Baca
As for the depiction of the Catholic church, it's not meant to be a prediction.
Dan Simmons
As you know, I am neither Roman Catholic, Protestant Episcopalian, nor Presbyterian, nor am I an Irishman.
John Bright
At first, I didn't hang out with celebrity kids. That wasn't the way I was brought up. I went to a run-of-the-mill Catholic primary school when we first moved to L.A. But then I went to a high school where there were lots of 'industry' children. Those weren't my best friends and I've never set out to make myself a part of that scene.
Lily Collins
BC is not going to replace the hierarchy, and BC is not going to lead some major reform in the Catholic Church - that's got to come out of the whole Catholic community.
William P. Leahy
Becoming Catholic involves entering into a relationship with the Catholic Church.
Carl Olson
Beyond the Catholic exclusionary paradigm is a larger one which is the Christian one. Christians claim that if you don't believe in Christ, you can't get to heaven. Well that eliminates two thirds of the world's population!
Neale Donald Walsch
But I remember the moment when my father died. I wasn't a very committed Catholic beforehand, but when that happened it suddenly all felt so obvious: I now believe religion is our attempt to find an explanation, for us to feel more protected.
Javier Bardem
By no means do I anticipate screening those who come on to campus... And I have no difficulty if a bishop across the country or some local pastor may say that's not Catholic teaching - that's fine.
William P. Leahy
By offering an education centered on values, the faculty in Catholic schools can create an interactive setting between parents and students that is geared toward long-term healthy character and scholastic development for all enrolled children.
Mark Foley
Catholic liturgical music, it would seem, is everywhere but in the Catholic Church itself.
Richard Morris
Catholic school graduates exhibit a wide variety of qualities that will not only help them in their careers but also in their family and community lives.
Joe Baca
Catholic schools in our Nation's education have been paramount in teaching the values that we as parents seek to instill in our children.
Joe Baca
Catholic schools prepare every student to meet the challenges of their future by developing their mind, yes, but also their body and their soul and spirit.
David Vitter
Catholic theology believes that God gave man free will, and you can't give somebody free will and then send in a play from the sidelines.
Roger Ebert
