The moral idea of Christian love is like a pillar of flaming light extending
from earth to heaven, but the supernatural religion of freedom, solace, and
joy that should have evolved from it was choked and poisoned. The successors
of Christ, from St. Paul down to the censors, obscurantists, and tyrants of
today have done their conscientious worst to hide the light from men.
-- William Pepperell Montague (1873-1953) "The Way of Things" (1940)
