I know very well that many defend themselves by boasting: ‘They are so corrupt, and work all manner of evil!’ But God has commanded that, even if the priests, the pastors, and Christ-on-earth were incarnate devils, we be obedient and subject to them, not for their sakes, but for the sake of God, and out of obedience to Him.” —Catherine of Siena, ‘St. Catherine of Siena’, SCS, pp. 201-202, p. 222 (‘Canonized’ by the RC ‘Church’ in 1461)
“The Pope and God are the same, so he has all power in Heaven and earth.” —Pope Pius V (1566-1572), quoted in Barclay, Cities Petrus Bertanous, chapter XXVII: p. 218 (‘Canonized’ by ‘Pope Clement XI’ in 1712)
“In the history of the human race there have been three principal falls: that of Adam, that of Judas, and that of the pope.” —St. Justin Popovich
