Eco Quotes

Two quotes from The Name of the Rose by Umberto Eco.

"But as you see, heresy in many cases is wed to the revolt against overlords, and this is why the heretic begins by preaching Madonna Poverty and then falls prey to all the temptations of power, war, violence."

"...the order of things must not be transformed, even if we must fervently hope for its transformation."

two good warnings to us who are working for change in the church.
