North American Reform

Famous quotes containing the words north, american and/or reform:

    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)

    Alex Sebastian: Mother, mother.
    Mrs. Sebastian: Why are you up so early?
    Alex: I need your help.
    Mrs. Sebastian: Something is wrong?
    Alex: A great deal.... I am married to an American agent.
    Ben Hecht (1893–1964)

    ...feminism differs from reform of any kind, even franchise reform. Feminists, I should say, are not reformers at all, but rather intellectual biologists and psychologists.
    Rheta Childe Dorr (1866–1948)
