Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters of an Irish Catholic Layman: Being an Examination of the Present State of the Irish Affairs in Relation to the Irish Church and the Holy See (1883-4) "I want an intelligent and well-instructed laity - a laity not arrogant, nor rash in speech, nor disputatious, but men who know their religion, who enter into it, who know just where they stand. I want you to rouse yourselves, to understand where you are, and to know yourselves. I would aim primarily at organisation, edification, cultivation of mind, growth of the reason. It is a moral force, not a material, which will vindicate your profession and secure your triumph." - Cardinal Newman. "The great triumph of Satan is to produce a ´Liberal Catholic.´ Such a man as Pius IX. lately proclaimed a worse enemy than a heretic or infidel. ´t is,´ says Brownson, ´the liberalism which has penetrated the Catholic camp which renders Catholics throughout Europe so imbecile in defence of Catholic interests... It is all the work of liberal Catholics, without whom Agnostics and infidels would be reduced to impotence."´ - Tablet, 31st January, 1875. "A man´s life-blood is frozen in its current, his intellect deadened, and his very soul annihilated by the everlasting dinning into his ears by the ´wise´ and ´prudent,´ more properly the timid and selfish, of the admonition to be politic, to take care not to compromise one´s cause or one´s friends. My soul revolted, and revolts even to-day, at this admonition. Almost the only blunders I ever committed were made when I studied to be politic, and prided myself on my diplomacy." - O. A. Brownson.
