Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Church of England and the Holy See So much has been written on the subject of the Oxford Movement that it might seem superfluous at this time of day to attempt anything more, were there not a danger of its teaching being so diluted as to lose its taste, or so explained away as to be robbed of its meaning. After all, the Centenary, by the very meaning of the term, is intended to recall something that happened a hundred years ago: - a scene that we can picture in the University Church at Oxford, and a sermon that was preached in the presence of his Majesty´s judges by John Keble on July 14th, 1833; a moment, moreover, that was not to end in itself, but was to mark the commencement of a great Catholic revival, destined to spread throughout the country, to make its way into our Colonies, and even to command the attention of the world; a revival that was stamped with the Catholic stamp to start with, and was intended to retain that stamp to the end; a movement that has had to push its way from the first, in the face of persistent opposition, persecution, and even prohibition; and to deliver its message, whether men would hear or whether they would forbear, calling upon them to declare themselves, and to say, not whether they liked its teaching, but whether they were willing to learn it, to regulate their lives by it, and if necessary to suffer for it. The Catholic revival never has been a popular movement, in the superficial sense of the term; and although it can point back in the past to a succession of victories, none of its positions has been won without fighting for it, some of them not without also going to prison. Now, men do not go to prison for nothing, nor do the authorities step in, unless there is something they wish to stop. They do not, for example, inhibit a Regius Professor from preaching, as they did Dr. Pusey, for two years, unless there is something specific in one of his sermons that they feel it right to correct. Was it for nothing that Keble´s curate, after showing up his examination papers, was refused priest´s orders, and had to leave the diocese in order to be ordained elsewhere.
