Holy solitaries' is a phrase no more consistent with the Gospel than holy adulterers. The Gospel of Christ knows no religion but social; no holiness, but social holiness.

About This Quote

The word "solitary" is often used in the same sentence as "holy." This is because these two words are frequently used synonymously. But, they are not the same thing. Solitude means to be alone while "holy" means to be holy or sacred.
