"The world martyrs the Church, and the Church subdues
the world. The words of our Divine Lord are a;ways verified, 'I come
not to send peace upon earth, but a sword.' The age of martyrs, as of
miracles, never ceases. Martyrdom is a perpetual note upon the Mystical
Body, which has the Stigmata of Jesus ever fresh upon it."
- Cardinal Wiseman, First Archbishop of the restored See of Westminster, 19th Century
"It is granted to few to recognize the true Church amid the darkness of
so many schisms and heresies, and to fewer still so to love the truth
which they have seen as to fly to its embrace."
- St. Robert Bellarmine
