The way to preserve the peace of the church is to preserve its purity

The way to preserve the peace of the church is to preserve its purity.

The purity men love is like the mists which envelope the earth, and not like the azure ether beyond.

It is a debt we owe to the purity of our religion to show that it is at variance with that law which warrants slavery.

Unto the pure all things are pure: but unto them that are defiled and unbelieving is nothing pure; but even their mind and conscience is defiled.

The stream is always purer at its source. [Fr., Les choses valent toujours mieux dans leur source.]
