Famous quotes containing the words souls and/or exist:
“Catholics think of grace as a supernatural power which God dispenses, primarily through the Church and its sacraments, to purify the souls of naturally sinful human beings, and render them capable of holiness.... Protestants think of grace as an attribute of God rather than a gift from God. It is a shorthand term signifying Gods determination to love, forgive, and save His human children, however little they deserve it.”
—Louis Cassels, U.S. religious columnist. The Catholic-Protestant Differences, Whats the Difference?, Doubleday (1965)
“To exist as an advertisement of her husbands income, or her fathers generosity, has become a second nature to many a woman who must have undergone, one would say, some long and subtle process of degradation before she sunk [sic] so low, or grovelled so serenely.”
—Elizabeth Stuart Phelps (18441911)
