Spirituality
St. Patrick (450): “The miseries of Hell, as they truly are, no tongue can tell; no mind can conceive; for in their reality they are far more dreadful than they are thought to be.”
Doctrine
Pope Gregory XVI, Mirari Vos (# 10), Aug. 15, 1832: “Therefore, it is obviously absurd and injurious to propose a certain ‘restoration and regeneration’ for her (the Church) as though necessary for her safety and growth, as if she could be considered subject to any failing health or dimming of mind or other misfortune.”
