	Sacrosanctum Concilium - On the Sacred Liturgy
		But in order that the liturgy may be able to produce its full effects, it is necessary that the faithful come to it with proper dispositions, that their minds should be attuned to their voices, and that they should cooperate with divine grace lest they receive it in vain (28).

		Accordingly, the sacred Council, keeping to the norms and precepts of ecclesiastical tradition and discipline, and having regard to the purpose of sacred music, which is the glory of God and the sanctification of the faithful, decrees as follows.

	Sacred Groves and Sacred Trees of Uttara Kannada
		The sacred grove was at the origin of the temple, whose columns were initially trees, and later of the Christian church which still evokes it by the alignment of its pillars, the semidarkness within it, and the soft coloured light that filters through its stained glass windows.
		Everywhere we find sacred groves, the abode of equally indeterminate beings, who are represented by no symbols and of whose form and functions no one can give an intelligible account, which have not yet been clothed with individual attributes; they linger on as survivals of the impersonal stage of early religion.
		Sacred trees like Ficus and Mimusops elenji, remnants of sacred groves, or intact groves with rare plants and sacred ponds, are associated with the Bhagavati or Mother Goddess temples of Kerala.

	J. Durban Odhner - Doctrine and Order of the Church (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		That the Doctrine and the Order of the Church must be drawn from the Word and confirmed by its literal teachings is a principle that has stood firmly in The Lord's New Church Which Is Nova Hierosolyma from its inception.
		Both kinds of doctrine are proper to the Church, and both are of Divine origin and essence; but the particular doctrines are not received by all, and cannot be for many reasons, one of which is their relation to more advanced states and their endlessly differing particular qualities lying at various levels.
		Enlightenment is required in order to see either kind of doctrine, but the common truths can be seen by those who are in light only as to the natural, and not yet as to the rational.

		It has dissolved, by force of arms, the state Congress of Coahuila and Texas, and obliged our representatives to fly for their lives from the seat of government, thus depriving us of the fundamental political right of representation.
		It has demanded the surrender of a number of our citizens, and ordered military detachments to seize and carry them into the Interior for trial, in contempt of the civil authorities, and in defiance of the laws and the constitution.
