For you see your calling, brethren, that not many wise according to the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called. But God has chosen the foolish things of the world to put to shame the wise, and God has chosen the weak things of the world to put to shame the things which are mighty... that no flesh should glory in His presence.... —that, as it is written, “He who glories, let him glory in the LORD.”
1 Corinthians 1:26-31

Beggars All: Reformation And Apologetics: To Mary, For Heretics
I was reading The Raccolta (Collection of Indulgenced Prayer and Good Works) and the words 'religious red tape' occurred to me as a good description of it. It seems like a 'collection of impossible and oppressive requirements' to me. It is bondage, as opposed to the freedom of the gospel.
