"When Christ at a symbolic moment was establishing His great society, He
chose for its cornerstone neither the brilliant Paul nor the mystic
John, but a shuffler, a snob, a coward – in a word, a man. And upon this
rock He has built His Church, and the gates of Hell have not prevailed
against it. All the empires and the kingdoms have failed, because of
this inherent and continual weakness, that they were founded by strong
men and upon strong men. But this one thing, the historic Christian
Church, was founded on a weak man, and for that reason it is
indestructible. For no chain is stronger than its weakest link."- GK Chesterton.
