• It is frightfully hard to explain to Protestants that if you give Roman Catholics a good job and a good house, they will live like Protestants...they will refuse to have 18 children.... If you treat Roman Catholics with due consideration and kindness, they will live like Protestants in spite of the authoritative nature of their Church.

• What is unique about Drogheda is the very large number of Protestants in the garrison and the fact that it's commanded, by and large, by Englishmen, who have come over from the English Civil War and are fighting in Ireland, and Cromwell is extraordinarily savage against these... Drogheda, after all, was a Protestant

• For the multiculturalist, white Anglo-Saxon Protestants are prohibited, Italians and Irish get a little respect, blacks are good, native Americans are even better. The further away we go, the more they deserve respect. This is a kind of inverted, patronising respect that puts everyone at a distance.

• I do know the Bible very well from a Protestant point of view - which is what, along with my reason, entitles me to refute it. You can't rationally reject something until you know all about it.

• No hay otro Parlamento como el inglés. Para el hombre ordinario, elegido para cualquier senado, desde Perisa a Perú, puede haber una cierta satisfacción en ser elegido... pero el hombre que entra en el Parlamento inglés toma su lugar en un desfile que siempre ha sido archivado desde el nacimiento de la historia inglesa... York o Lancaster, Protestante o Católico, Corte o País, Cabeza Redonda o Caballero, Whig o Tory, Liberal o Conservador, Laborista o Unionista, todos ellos encajan en ese largo desfile que ningún otro país del mundo puede mostrar.

• In reality, there are no biblical literalists, only selective literalists. By abolishing slavery and ordaining women, millions of Protestants have gone far beyond biblical literalism. It's time we did the same for homophobia.

• The religion most prevalent in our northern colonies is a refinement on the principles of resistance: it is the dissidence of dissent, and the protestantism of the Protestant religion.

• Crecí como presbiteriano. Los presbiterianos pensaban que los metodistas estaban equivocados. Los católicos pensaban que todos los protestantes estaban equivocados. Los judíos pensaban que los cristianos estaban equivocados. Así que lo que estoy financiando es la humildad. Quiero que la gente se dé cuenta de que no debes pensar que lo sabes todo.

• The intention of Paul VI with regard to what is commonly called the Mass, was to reform the Catholic liturgy in such a way that it should almost coincide with the Protestant liturgy - but what is curious is that Paul VI did that to get as close as possible to the Protestant Lord's supper... there was with Paul VI an ecumenical intention to remove, or at least to correct, or at least to relax, what was too Catholic, in the traditional sense, and, I repeat, to get the Catholic Mass closer to the Calvinist Mass.

• Para William Cecil y otros miembros del Consejo de Isabel, cuyo sentimiento de conspiración y amenaza católica regía su pensamiento político, la seguridad de Inglaterra residía en la creación de unas Islas Británicas unidas y protestantes, que pudieran mantenerse solas, listas para resistir a los invasores. La providencia divina había separado las islas del resto del mundo mediante mares circundantes, "un pequeño mundo en sí mismo".

• The terrible thing is that the crowd that fills the street believes that the world will always be the same and that it is their duty to keep that huge machine running, day and night, forever. This is what comes of a Protestant morality, that I, as a (thank God) typical Spaniard, found unnerving.

• The Catholic Church is a thousand times better than your Protestant Church upon that question [of damnation]. The Catholic Church believes in purgatory - that is, a place where a fellow can get a chance to make a motion for a new trial.

• We're not thought of in terms of color because we are entertainers. We are there to entertain you not because we are black, white, pink, or green or gay or straight or because we are Catholic or Protestant.

• The decline of witch-belief was . . . entirely the product of religious skepticism. . . . The Catholic Church did not reform itself on this matter; it was forced by outside pressure to reform. To be sure, the Protestant churches were no better in this regard; it is simply that they had less time - only two or three centuries - to engage in the torching of witches. After all, John Wesley, the founder of Methodism, stated quite correctly that disbelief in witches meant a disbelief in the Bible.

• Nunca intentamos convertir al cristianismo a los que reciben (ayuda) sino que en nuestro trabajo damos testimonio del amor de la presencia de Dios y si los católicos, protestantes, budistas o agnósticos se convierten por ello en hombres mejores -simplemente mejores- nos daremos por satisfechos. Al individuo le importa a qué iglesia pertenece. Si ese individuo piensa y cree que este es el único camino hacia Dios para él o ella, esta es la forma en que Dios entra en su vida - su vida. Si no conoce ningún otro camino y si no tiene ninguna duda de modo que no necesita buscar entonces este es su camino a la salvación.

• La mayoría de las principales iglesias protestantes son, en un grado u otro, postcristianas. Si ya no parecen dispuestas a convertir a los incrédulos a Cristo, al menos pueden convertirlos a los tópicos de la izquierda más blanda, sobre la base de que si Jesús viviera hoy, lo más probable es que fuera un obispo anglicano gay en una relación comprometida que circula en un coche ecológico con una pegatina de "Los brazos son para abrazar" de camino a un diálogo interreligioso con un wiccano y un par de imanes wahabíes.
