1 " I don’t trust most members of the clergy. Not because they’re clergy. Because they’re people. "
― Tiffany Reisz , The Priest (The Original Sinners, #9)
2 " Would you blame me if I called your faith a hoax? If I called Catholicism a sham?

11 " You’re old enough to leave the cradle,” Mercedes said. “Aren’t you?” “There’s someone in my life who would be very put out if I did.” “If there’s someone in your life trying to control your faith, you’re the one who should be put out, Mistress Nora. "
12 " This is between women,” Mercedes said. “About women. For women. Men will only make it more complicated than it already is. Men will only make it worse.” “I trust the men in my life.” “You got to learn to trust the women, too. You’ve got to. Even the silence of a woman is wiser than the words of a man. "
