Our life on earth is but a pilgrimage. The soul lives on humility and patience,' at the same time screwing the poor from their last centime. They settled down among their treasures and ate and drank with princes and to the starving they said, 'Suffer. Suffer as he suffered on the cross for it is the will of God.' And anyone believes what they hear over and over again, so the poor instead of bread made do with a picture of the bleeding, scourged, and nailed-up Christ and prayed to that image of their helplessness. And the priests said, 'Raise your hands to heaven and bend your knees and bear your suffering without complaint. Pray for those that torture you, for prayer and blessing are the only stairways which you can climb to paradise.' And so they chained down the poor in their ignorance so that they wouldn't stand up and fight their bosses who ruled in the name of the lie of divine right.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "Peter Weiss" }, "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/peter-weiss/and-the-priests-looked-down-into-the-pit-of-injustice-and-they-turned/", "image": { "@type": "ImageObject", "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/31a/peter-weiss-18691_christ_and-the-priests-looked-down-into-the-pit_56177.jpg", "contentUrl": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/31a/peter-weiss-18691_christ_and-the-priests-looked-down-into-the-pit_56177.jpg", "url": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/i/31a/peter-weiss-18691_christ_and-the-priests-looked-down-into-the-pit_56177.jpg", "width": 1080, "height": 1080, "caption": "“And the priests looked down into the pit of injustice and they turned their faces away and said, 'Our…” — Peter Weiss", "creditText": "SMS4Smile Quotes", "creator": { "@id": "https://sms4smile.com/quotes/#organization" } } } }, { "@type": "ListItem", "position": 2, "item": { "@type": "Quotation", "text": "“When the subject is sacred, proud and clever men may come to think that the outsiders who don't know it are not merely inferior to them in skill but lower in God's eyes; as the priests said, 'All that rabble who are not experts in the Torah are accursed.' and as this pride increases, the 'subject' or study which confers such privilege will grow more and more complicated, the list of things forbidden will increase, till to get through a single day without supposed sin becomes like an elaborate step-dance, and this horrible network breeds self-righteousness in some and haunting anxiety in others.”", "creator": { "@type": "Person", "name": "C.S.
