Actually, most of these quotes are more amusing than they are scary. For example, this one attributed to Cardinal Robert Bellarmine, who was born in 1542: "To assert that the earth revolves around the sun is as erroneous as to claim that Jesus was not born of a virgin."
Or this one, uttered by Margaret Bowen in 1925. She was referring to a visit by the Messiah to Hollywood: ""If Christ does not appear to meet his 144,000 faithful shortly after midnight on February 6th or 7th, it means that my calculations, based on the Bible, must be revised."
And, of course, Pat Buchanan is good for several quotes, including this one: "The real liberators of American women were not the feminist noise-makers, they were the automobile, the supermarket, the shopping center, the dishwasher, the washer-dryer, the freezer."
