Famous quotes containing the words clerical and/or philosophers:
“Exporting Church employees to Latin America masks a universal and unconscious fear of a new Church. North and South American authorities, differently motivated but equally fearful, become accomplices in maintaining a clerical and irrelevant Church. Sacralizing employees and property, this Church becomes progressively more blind to the possibilities of sacralizing person and community.”
—Ivan Illich (b. 1926)
“It is a mania shared by philosophers of all ages to deny what exists and to explain what does not exist.”
—Jean-Jacques Rousseau (1712–1778)
