Roper: So now you’d give the Devil benefit of law?
More: Yes. What would you do? Cut a great road through the law to get after the Devil?
Roper: I’d cut down every law in England to do that.
More: Oh? And when the last law was down—and the Devil turned round on you—where would you hide? Yes, I’d give the Devil benefit of law, for my own safety’s sake.

Nice. This is a pivotal scene in the movie. I run a private classic-movie discussion group. I’ll get in touch with the details.

When, though, is vigilanteism the right thing to do? When the law has turned it’s back on you completely, when politicians no longer care about the safety and well-being of its citizens. I thnk the time is now.

Papal infallibility is a fairly recent concept. Not a lot of people know that.
