“WHEN GOD is not with him who governs, the power he exercises is nothing better than brute force. The sovereign, or the parliament, that pretends to govern a country in opposition to the laws of God, has no right to aught but revolt and contempt from every upright man; to give the sacred name of law to tyrannical enactments of that kind is a profanation unworthy not only of a Christian, but of every man who is not a slave.”

— Dom Prosper Guéranger, The Liturgical Year
