The Jesuit by Joseph Hocking

“I saw now what I had never realized before. The Church of Rome… demanded liberty that it might destroy liberty. It was not simply a religious body; it was primarily a huge political machine, which worked for supremacy. It was struggling to obtain power whereby it might make any other form of religion impossible. The liberties it demanded for itself it would not give to others." - From “The Jesuit”
