“He recounted to me a system of the priesthood completely identical with an organization of urban guards. The priest would be taken indiscriminately and temporarily from all classes of society: without past and without future, without divine mission and without sacred character, this improvised priest would leave his bench, his counter, even his workshop, in order to do his guard duty beside our soul; he would be relieved by a companion like a guard coming off duty” (Mme. Cottu, on her conversation with Lamennais in 1840; in P. Dudon, Lamennais et le Saint-Siège 1820-1834, 2d. ed [Paris: Perrin et Cie, 1911], p. 367; cf. Lettres inédites de Lamennais à la baronne Cottu, published by the Comte d’Houssonville [Paris: Éditions Perrin Histoire, 1910], p. 45).
