'He that loveth father or mother more than Me, is not worthy of Me. How could 'we learn to be severe, and execute judgment, but for the warning of Moses against even a divinely-gifted teacher, who should preach new gods; and the anathema of St. Paul even against Angels and Apostles, who should bring in a new doctrine?"
