“The Church has ever proved indestructible. Her persecutors have failed to destroy her; in fact, it was during times of persecution that the Church grew more and more; while the persecutors themselves, and those whom the Church would destroy, are the very ones who came to nothing. . . .Again, errors have assailed her; but in fact, the greater the number of errors that have arisen, the more has the truth been made manifest. . . . Nor has the Church failed before the assaults of demons: for she is like a tower of refuge to all who fight against the Devil.” MadeFactsFightingChurchNumbersGreaterGrewTruth IsDevilErrorsSaintDemonManifestRefugeTowersPersecutionAssaultIndestructible Author:Thomas Aquinas

“Three quarters of the American population literally believe in religious miracles. The numbers who believe in the devil, in resurrection, in God doing this and that - it's astonishing.

I ended up talking the musical numbers, which was revolutionary at the time. The lyrics are extremely intricate. They move along like a precisely acted scene. If you miss a word - heaven help you - the orchestra rattles past like an express train, and you've got to run like the devil to catch up.” IfsHelpingRunningPastMovingHeavenVoiceNumbersHalfTalkingTeacherMissingSceneDevilTrainNotesMusicalBlockRangeRevolutionaryOrchestraAppearingIntricate Author:Rex Harrison
