About this Quote

This quote by James Joyce talks to the concept that the Church is not tolerant of any beliefs or philosophies that differ from its own.

This could be translated as a criticism of the Church's propensity to be special and to reject those who do not adhere to its teachings.

Ultimately, this quote is a reminder that the Church ought to be more accepting of variety and of individuals who may not share its beliefs.
