"The story goes that in the Roman Catholic Church the source of all authority is the pope; in nonconformist churches the source of all authority is the Bible; and in the Church of England the source of all authority is the previous incumbent. If the previous incumbent has died in harness, then all the guilt and wonder at his vicarious sacrifice becomes transformed into hagiography."
-Justin Lewis-Anthony, If You Meet George Herbert on the Road, Kill Him
