Here are a couple of statements about legalism from Lazarus, the last of Morris West's papacy trilogy.

"He was tempted to go back and tell the Pontiff what had happened. Then he asked himself the classic question: cui bono? What good could possibly come of it? All the harm had been done centuries ago, when the law had been set above simply charity and suffering souls were counted as necessary casualties in the unending crusade against the follies of human flesh" (page 53).
