The Church was explicitly
promised immortality.

:22:03
As a social class,
we were promised nothing.

:22:06
To us, eternity adds up
to a hundred years !

:22:11
We have no obligation beyond
what we can see with our own eyes.

:22:16
The Church does,
because it is bound to last.

:22:21
- Comfort is implicit in its
desperation. - Excellency !

:22:24
Do you think, Father, that if
one day the Church had the chance

:22:28
to save itself sacrificing us,
it would hesitate ?

:22:34
lt wouldn't, but that's fair.
:22:47
You'll have two sins to confess,
on Saturday, Excellency:

:22:51
last night's carnal sin,
and today's spiritual. Remember.

:22:56
Look at this beauty, Father.
:23:01
lt'll take more than Vittorio
Emanuele to deprive us

:23:04
of the magic potion
we daily get to drink.
