“It is too easy to call the church political. The nature of fallen people is political. And they happen to make up the church. So the church is innately political. This cannot be helped. But it can be navigated if not always stomached.”

“The exercise of power became a constant feature of those years. And those who disagreed with Pell on matters theological or spiritual felt thoroughly marginalised. As the 2000s wore on, it was not just a case of Pell necessarily exercising the power himself, but that he had remade the Australian Church in his image. Dissent was actively discouraged, discussion about subjects he had declared off limits was avoided. (p.115)”

“Podle těch, kdo se vyznají, představovala pašíkova církev nejsilnější evangelickou frakci v Jidadě a čítala nejvíce členů, a to nejen v rámci země, ale i celého regionu - no ano, tholukuthi podle těch, kdo se vyznají, nevedlo ovečky k následování církve jen slovo boží, nýbrž i zoufalství, zklamání, idiocie, frustrace a hledání stébla, jehož by se mohly chytit, něčeho, čehokoliv, co by jim pomohlo přežít život, který byl ve skomírající jidadské ekonomice čím dál méně k žití.”

“I don't think science is hard to teach because humans aren't ready for it, or because it arose only through a fluke, or because, by and large, we don't have the brainpower to grapple with it. Instead, the enormous zest for science that I see in first-graders and the lesson from the remnant hunter-gatherers both speak eloquently: A proclivity for science is embedded deeply within us, in all times, places, and cultures. It has been the means for our survival. It is our birthright. When, through indifference, inattention, incompetence, or fear of skepticism, we discourage children from science, we are disenfranchising them, taking from them the tools needed to manage their future.”
