Maybe after the economic collapse we can once more say, Rise up and Walk

Thomas Aquinas once called on Pope Innocent II when the later was counting out a large sum of money.

"You see, Thomas," said the Pope, "the church can no longer say, 'Silver and gold have I none.'"

"True, holy father," was the reply, "neither can she now say, 'Rise and walk.'"


[Quoted in F.F. Bruce "Acts"]
