Environmentalism: "The main point of Christianity was this: that Nature is not our mother: Nature is our sister." Marriage: "To put the matter in one metaphor, the sexes are two stubborn pieces of iron; if they are to be welded together, it must be while they are red-hot." Religious Humility: "No Catholic thinks he is a good Catholic; or he would by that thought become a bad Catholic." Secularism: "To be secular simply means to be of the age; that is, of the age which is passing; of the age which, in their case, is already passed." Tradition: "I was always rushing out of my architectural study with plans for a new turret only to find i sitting up there in the sunlight, shining, and a thousand years old."
