“I am a spiritual person. I'm a Catholic. I treat my patients, the dead...” — Bennet Omalu Quote

“I am a spiritual person. I'm a Catholic. I treat my patients, the dead patients, as live patients. I believe there is life after death. And I talk to my patients. I talk to them, not loudly but quietly in my heart when I look at them. Before I do an autopsy, I must have a visual contact with the face.”

“Yes, the concept that blunt-force trauma of the head causes brain damage is a generally accepted principle of medicine. That is why I was so appalled by the NFL doctors who were denying my work.”

“Trust in the great American ingenuity. We can derive more intelligent, more brain-friendly ways we can play football.”

“Will Smith's acting reaffirms my belief in the American perfection.”

“No, no, I don't watch football. The last time I tried watching was the last Super Bowl. The problem I have is, you know, the graphic nature of my imagination; when I watch and see them meeting head onto head, helmet onto helmet, what flashes through my mind is what's going on in their brains. It's like torture to me.”

“I don't think I related to the Irish Catholic surroundings that was my environment when I was growing up.”

“I hope that by going to visit the pope I have enabled everybody to see that the words Catholic and Protestant, as ordinarily used, are completely out of date. They are almost always used now purely for propaganda purposes. That is why so much trouble is caused by them.”

“As for the depiction of the Catholic church, it's not meant to be a prediction.”

“Well, I am Catholic.”

“There's been a lot of Catholic parody - 'Nunsense,' 'Sister Mary Ignatius' - I think they've almost been done to death, actually.”

“How does a nice Catholic girl end up going to prison for a year? It's crazy. I've made mistakes. I have to pay for those mistakes.”
