Science v Religion

Father Brown: Be it lectern or pulpit, last minute preparation is always a good idea.

Professor: Don't let the spiritual setting deceive you Father. There is no comparison between your profession and mine. Unlike religion, science is absolute.

Father Brown: I think science has its limitations. It can't explain joy or love. And it certainly can't save your soul. 

Professor: Sentimental defence of an irrational dogma.

===

Professor: Would you care to observe my midday lecture, Father? You'll like it. It's on the burden of proof.

Father Brown: I'd be delighted, Professor. And perhaps you'll attend my Sunday homilly, on the gift of doubt.

Miss Kipley

"Be not overcome by evil, but overcome evil by good" 

ROMANS 12:21

Quoted in Father Brown: Series 11, Episode 9

Did Not by Thomas Moore

'Twas a new feeling - something more
Than we had dared to own before,
Which then we hid not;
We saw it in each other's eye,
And wished, in every half-breathed sigh,
To speak, but did not.
She felt my lips' impassioned touch -
'Twas the first time I dared so much,
And yet she chid not;
But whispered o'er my burning brow,
'Oh, do you doubt I love you now?'
Sweet soul! I did not.
Warmly I felt her bosom thrill,
I pressed it closer, closer still,
Though gently bid not;
Till - oh! the world hath seldom heard
Of lovers, who so nearly erred,
And yet, who did not.
