Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Rambler, 1857, Vol. 8: A Catholic Journal and Review Ultramontanism is a very ugly word. It is one of those ugly words, within whose undefined signification are supposed to lurk all those mysterious horrors in which ignorant selfishness delights to revel. As a Gallican Catholic is supposed to be almost as good as a Protestant, so an Ultramontane Catholic is supposed to be almost as bad as a Jesuit. The very suspicion of "Ultramontanism" is held to be enough to disqualify a man for fulfilling the duties of a citizen, and enough therefore to disentitle him to the rights of art Englishman. As Ultramontanism has, however, undoubtedly made rapid progress among the Catholics of the British Empire during the last quarter of a century, it may be worth while to suggest a few considerations to our Protestant fellow-subjects, by way of quieting their doubts and relieving their apprehensions. The profession of what are termed "Gallican" views, is now a rare thing. Whether they are avowedly and consciously held in private by a good many persons, or no; and whether or not they are held in solution, so to say, by many who would be indignant at being called Gallicans, - is another question. The undoubted fact is, that old-fashioned Gallicanism finds few public exponents in our body at the present time. The thought of English Catholicism has for some time past tended in the direction of a distinct, dogmatic Ultramontanism, which it would be foolish to try to conceal, and cowardly to attempt to disown. Bishops in their pastorals, preachers in their sermons, correspondents in their letters in the papers, journalists and periodical writers of all kinds, are continually almost going out of their way to avow a class of feelings and opinions, partaking more or less of the tone of this supposed un-English abomination.
