Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Great Schism of the West The day will soon dawn when full knowledge will enable a just and final judgment to be pronounced on questions hitherto obscure. In the course of our long and sometimes painful labours we have tried to observe the Ciceronian rule repeated twenty years ago by Leo XIII.: Quis nescit primam esse historiae legem ne quid falsi dicere audeat? deinde ne quid veri non audeat? First, let the historian say nothing false: next, let him conceal nothing true. Every conscience is bound by the first rule; but the sincerity of the historian is sometimes subjected to an almost intolerable strain by the second. Is not the telling of certain special trials which touch our dear mother the Church almost like exposing family failings to the gaze of the public? Yet it must be done if conscience and historic truth are to be duly respected. If some Christians have been so ill-advised as to imagine religious truth would gain from the concealment of historic truth, if this is still a stumbling-block to some Catholics, let them bear in mind the words of the Gospel: "O men of little faith, wherefore do ye doubt?" In the seventeenth century the learned Labbe, in his first volume of the Councils, remarks at the outset: "Non tali auxilio nec defensoribus istis indiget Ecclesia."
