As a dogma, theologians teach that many belong to the Church who are out of its visible unity; as a moral truth that to be out of the Church is no personal sin, except to those who sin in being out of it. That is, they will be lost, not because they are geographically out of it, but because they are culpably out of it.

— Henry Edward Manning

More quotes by Henry Edward Manning

All human conflict is ultimately theological.

What is dogma but the intellectual conception and verbal expression of a divine truth?

No ignorance of truth is a personal sin before God, except that ignorance which springs from personal sin.

There are only two centres, God and ourselves; and we must rest on one or on the other.

Our character is our will; for what we will we are.
