People who commit crimes should be responsible for those crimes. It doesn't matter whether they're priests or ministers or atheists.
John Ashcroft

Priests are not men of the world; it is not intended that they should be; and a University training is the one best adapted to prevent their becoming so.
Samuel Butler

Priests have to have the right to say that a sin is a sin.
Rocco Buttiglione

Priests, she insisted, could not sin. It was a thing impossible. Everything that they did, and wished, was of course right. She hoped I would see the reasonableness and duty of the oaths I was to take, and be faithful to them.
Maria Monk

Some of the priests from the Seminary were in the nunnery every day and night, and often several at a time.
Maria Monk

Some people go to priests; others to poetry; I to my friends.
Virginia Woolf

That God cannot lie, is no advantage to your argument, because it is no proof that priests can not, or that the Bible does not.
Thomas Paine

That was my aspiration, so I was there in a seminary with just boys who were studying to be priests. Pretty rigorous schooling; we never got home, we stayed there all year.
Peter Jurasik

The artistic taste of the Catholic priests is appalling and I am most anxious to have a Catholic church in which everything is genuine and good, and not tawdry and ostentatious.
Giles Gilbert Scott

The bishops will govern the Church, the priests will do all the work and the deacons will have all the fun.
Richard Cardinal Cushing

The Catholic men are more upset about women not being able to be priests than are Catholic women.
Andrew Greeley

The entire world is my temple, and a very fine one too, if I'm not mistaken, and I'll never lack priests to serve it as long as there are men.
Desiderius Erasmus

The Gospel having spread itself into Persia, the pagan priests, who worshipped the sun, were greatly alarmed, and dreaded the loss of that influence they had hitherto maintained over the people's minds and properties.
John Foxe

The legal system is often a mystery, and we, its priests, preside over rituals baffling to everyday citizens.
Henry Miller

The man or country that fights priestcraft and priests is to my mind striking deeper for freedom than can be struck anywhere.
George Meredith

The only thing I oppose is persecuting of Eastern Orthodox priests and temples.
Vladimir Zhirinovsky

The philosopher has never killed any priests, whereas the priest has killed a great many philosophers.
Denis Diderot

The priests are debarred from female society, nor is any woman permitted to enter the religious houses.
Hernando Cortes

The priests say that God created our souls, and that just puts us under the control of another puppeteer. If God created our will, then he's responsible for every choice we make.
Orson Scott Card

There are enormously gifted Episcopal priests around this church who are gay and lesbian, some of whom are partnered, who would make wonderful bishops and they're going to be nominated and they're going to be elected.
