ecclesiastics

“So many disloyal actions on the part of ecclesiastics are born of the lack of a sense of having been shown compassion, and by the habit of averting one’s gaze, the habit of indifference.”

Still to be decided is whether ecclesiastics can assert a claim the right to follow Canon Law as an exercise of religious freedom.

But everybody comes across as human here: the conniving ecclesiastics who propel Henry into war, the fatuous French Dauphin, the speechifying Welsh Captain Fluellen and Henry's disreputable old chums from his wild youth.

But the best ecclesiastics recognised that the system was somewhat out of keeping with Christian charity.

It would be difficult to exaggerate the skill and courage displayed by the ecclesiastics in this most trying period.
