" My friend,” said the orator to him, “do you believe the Pope to be the Anti-Christ?”
“I have never heard anyone say so,” answered Candide; “but whether he be or no, I am hungry."
"You do not deserve to eat! Hence, scoundrel! Away, wretch! Come not near me for your life!"
The orator's wife had been looking out of a window overhead. Seeing a man who doubted whether the Pope was anti-Christ. she emptied a chamber pot upon his head- an example of the excesses to which women are driven by religious zeal. "
― Voltaire , Candide
