Quotes 

• Father Bob Hughes : You know we get a lot of mail protesting your activities. Well, this one letter came today and I think you ought to read it.

  Father John Banks : [Reads letter]  "N-I-G-E-R." He don't even know how to spell!

  Father Bob Hughes : John, be serious. That man is threatening your life.

  Father John Banks : Well, it ain't the first time.

• Father John Banks : The highest doctrine of our church is the principle of the individual conscience.

  Father Bob Hughes : Yes.

  Father John Banks : And man is truly in a state of grace if he believes - I mean, man, really believes - that what he is doing is right in the eyes of God.

  Father Bob Hughes : Yes, that's the doctrine.

  Father John Banks : Well, Bob, I am right. I mean, you know that I am right, you know it!

  Father Bob Hughes : I can't know that, John. It's not between you and me. That's not even between you and the bishop.

  Father John Banks : You're right. It's between me and Jesus.
