Luther and Lewis

The Word is not created by the Church, but the Church is created by the Word. And a certain sign, by which we may know where the Church be, is the Word of God.—Martin Luther, Misuse of the Mass, 1521

The rebellion of new ideologies against the Tao is a rebellion of the branches against the tree: if the rebels could succeed they would find they had destroyed themselves. The human mind has no more power of inventing a new value than of imagining a new primary colour, or, indeed, of creating a new sun and a new sky for it to move in.—C. S. Lewis, Business of Heaven, p. 251.
