The one affectation i have forced on the publisher... are my apostrophe-free ellisions. because i write my scripts to read myself, i dont spell 'don't' with an apostrophe. i spell it 'dont'. we all know the word and it seems foolish to put in an extraneous apostrophe. punctuation marks are devices we use to make the meaning of sentences clear. there is nothing confusing about a word like 'dont' printed without an apostrophe to indicate an omitted letter.

If we get you in the early years of your life and we fill your head with all of the catholic stories, then it's very hard for you to stop being catholic. catholics are catholics because they like being catholic.

I am catholic but i want to say something to the catholics. thank you for some of the bishops who live in rural areas, and are still catholic. these bishops of the catholic churches still pray for the poor, and pray for their president who works for the poor, while the leaders of the catholic church only defend oligarchy.

It`s difficult to judge people from 100 years ago by today`s standards. but i go back into the early middle part of the 19th century also. the know-nothings were a protestant movement, and they rejected catholics and didn`t want catholics brought into america.

I believe that this republic will endure for many centuries. if so there will doubtless be among its presidents protestants and catholics, and very probably at some time, jews. i have consistently tried while president to act in relation to my fellow americans of catholic faith as i hope that any future president who happens to be catholic will act towards his fellow americans of protestant faith. had i followed any other course i should have felt that i was unfit to represent the american people.

I went to a catholic university and there's something about being a catholic-american. you know, st. patrick's day is, i'm irish-catholic. there's alcoholism in my family. it's like i've got to be catholic, right?

God is love. we eventually have to ask ourselves the question; why was love nailed to a cross?

This is the same notion - catholic exorcism, psychotherapy, shamanistic practices - getting to the moment when whatever it was gained access. and also to the name of the spirit. just to know that it's the ugly spirit. that's a great step. because the spirit doesn't want its name to be known.

I was educated by monks - i thank them dearly for the education they gave me, but i am no longer a catholic.

Precisely in an age when the inviolable rights of the person are solemnly proclaimed and the value of life is publicly affirmed, the very right to life is being denied or trampled upon, especially at the more significant moments of existence: the moment of birth and the moment of death.
