Clone of A Prodigal Sheep

"The Church must denounce rebellion as of all evils the greatest ... I do not shrink from uttering my firm conviction that it would be a gain to the country were it vastly more superstitious, more bigoted, more gloomy, more fierce in its religion than at present it shows itself to be. ... Rationalism is the great evil of the day."

— John Henry Cardinal Newman, Apologia Pro Vita Sua (1864) 

"The vice of Bigotry has been so indiscriminately imputed to the religious, that they seem apt to forget that it is a real sin. To the millions of Europe, bigotry has been a confutation of all pious feelings. So unlovely has religion been made by it ... that now, as 2,000 years ago, men are lapsing into Atheism or Pantheism."

— Francis William Newman (the Cardinal's wiser brother), Phases of Faith (1854)
