   • 1877, Benito Pérez Galdós, Gloria:

     -Por eso yo soy de opinión de que sigan las misas, los sermones, las novenas, las procesiones, las colectas y todos los demás usos y ritos que se han creado para coadyuvar a la gran obra del Estado, y rodear de garantías y seguridades a las clases pudientes e ilustradas.
