"Christ and the Church are two in one flesh." - St. Augustine (in Ps.142,3).
"Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" ..."Who are you, Lord?,...I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting" -Acts 9:3-5
"Unflaggingly, let us love the Lord our God and let us love his Church. Let us love Him as the Lord and the Church as his handmaid.
No one can offend the one and still be pleasing to the other. What does it avail you if you do not directly offend the Father but do offend the mother?"
- St. Augustine (Commentary on Psalm 88, 14)
