apostolic quotes

  •    As he drew near, he gazed upon the gate Ne'er to be entered more by him or Sin, With such a glance of supernatural hate, As made Saint Peter wish himself within; He pattered with his keys at a great rate, And sweated through his apostolic skin: Of course his perspiration was but ichor, Or some such other spiritual liquor.

    -Rochdale
      The Vision of  Judgement, stanza 25.

  • I believe in the Church, one Holy Catholic and Apostolic Church; and nowhere does it exist.

    -William Temple
    Attributed.
