- It will be only under the pressure of hard necessity that Döllingerism will ever consent to regard itself as a German sect.
- 1874, Thomas William Marshall, Protestant Journalism, page 156:
- There is nothing new in Döllingerism. It is the old story, as old as human shame and sin, of the vanity which is a law to itself, and the pride which will not stoop to obey.
- 1933, Celestine N. Bittle, A Romance of Lady Poverty: The History of the Province of St. Joseph of the Capuchin Order in the United States, page 224:
- The Vatican Council, through its definition of the doctrine of Papal Infallibility, had stirred up a muddy undercurrent of heretical and schismatic feeling among certain elements of the intellectuals, and Döllingerism was quite rampant, particularly in university sections.
