“Charity is that with which no man is lost, and without which no man is saved.”
Robert Bellarmine

“The second ceremony, are the musical instruments, which began to be used in the service of the church, in the time of Pope Vitalian, about the year 600 as Platina relates out of the Pontifical; or as Aimonius rather thinks in book iv. chapter 114, after the year 820, in the time of Lewis the Pious.”
Robert Bellarmine

“But, to affirm that the Sun is really fixed in the center of the heavens and the Earth revolves very swiftly around the Sun is a dangerous thing, not only irritating theologians and philosophers, but injuring our holy faith and making the sacred scripture false.

Freedom of belief is pernicious, It is nothing but the freedom to be wrong.”
Cardinal Bellarmine
