Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Pastoral Letter of the Archbishops and Bishops of the United States Assembled in Conference at the Catholic University of America, September, 1919 The Archbishops and Bishops of the United States in Conference assembled, to their Clergy and faithful people - Grace unto you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Venerable Brethen of the Clergy, Beloved Children of the Laity: Thirty-five years have elapsed since the Fathers of the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore addressed their Pastoral Letter to the faithful of their charge. In it they expressed their deliberate thought upon the state of religion at the time, upon its needs and its abundant resources. Surveying the growth of the Church during a century, they saw with thankfulness the evident design of God in behalf of our country; and turning to the future, they beheld the promise of a still more fruitful development. With wise enactment and admonition they imparted new vigor to our Catholic life. With a foresight which we can now appreciate, they prepared the Church in America to meet, on the solid ground of faith and discipline, the changing conditions of our earthly existence. As Pope Leo XIII of happy memory declared: "the event has proven, and still does prove, that the decrees of Baltimore were wholesome and timely. Experience has demonstrated their value for the maintenance of discipline, for stimulating the intelligence and zeal of the clergy, for protecting and developing the Catholic education of youth" (Encyc. Longinqua oceani spatis, Jan 6, 1895). The framers of that legislation were men of power, shewing forth in their wisdom the dignity of prophets and instructing the people with holy words. They are gone, nearly all, to their rest and reward; but their godly deeds have not failed. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
