Laudator Temporis Acti: Christ and Christendom

Christ and Christendom

Walter Savage Landor (1775-1864), "William Penn and Lord Peterborough," Imaginary Conversations (Penn speaking):

The religion of Christ is peace and goodwill. The religion of Christendom is war and ill-will.

Id. (Peterborough speaking):

All the rogues that ever lived have brought little misery upon the world, in comparison with those who had too much zeal.
