"All the baptized in the Church have citizenship, on their sharing [1] the Creed and [2] the morality that comes from it."
"Nella Chiesa tutti i battezzati hanno cittadinanza, se ne condividono il Credo e la morale conseguente."

A wilde faith
"The Catholic church is for saints and sinners [alone]. For respectable people, the Anglican church will do."
Oscar Wilde, as quoted by Richard A. Kaye in "The path to Rome: investigating the deathbed conversion of Oscar Wilde," Times literary supplement no. 6386 (August 22, 2025), 8 (7-8). Richard Ellmann adds "alone", citing an undated letter of Reginald Turner to T. H. Bell "in Bell's unpublished MS. on Wilde (Clark)" (Oscar Wilde (New York: Alfred A. Knopf, 1988, 583 and 621). I have followed this trail no further.
