When educated people see the priests taking bread and wine
in their hands, blowing a few breaths over them and saying that the bread and
wine are now changed into the flesh and blood of Christ, or hear them saying
that by making a confession before a priest their sins are pardoned, they will
begin to despair of their religion and become totally irreligious.
(Words of ‘Abdu’l-Baha,
September 2, Montreal, Canada; 'Mahmud's Diary')
