Protestant Episcopal Church

Famous quotes containing the words protestant and/or church:

    There was a young lady called Alice
    Who peed in a Catholic chalice.
    The Padre agreed
    It was done out of need
    And not out of Protestant malice.
    Anonymous.

    It is manifest therefore that they who have sovereign power, are immediate rulers of the church under Christ, and all others but subordinate to them. If that were not, but kings should command one thing upon pain of death, and priests another upon pain of damnation, it would be impossible that peace and religion should stand together.
    Thomas Hobbes (1579–1688)
