Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Ecclesiastical Year, Vol. 2: Its Festivals and Holy Seasons; To Which Are Added the Legends or Lives of the Saints; A Household Work for Instruction and Devotion The most evident and glorious proof of the truth and divinity of the Catholic Church, is doubtless the fact, established in a manifold manner from her origin, that she has produced Saints; that is, that many of her members have after their death obtained possession of heaven. That such is really the case, has been confirmed by undeniable evidence, and by the wonders of divine Omnipotence. The sanctity of so many of her members is the strongest proof of the sanctity of the Church herself, and it is therefore very natural, that the Catholic Church alone (the only one founded by Christ Himself), is enabled to produce such living fruits of sanctity, since only to the true Church can the eternal truth give such testimony, confirmed by the wonders of His Omnipotence. At the same time it is an established fact, that, out of the pale of the Catholic Church, there is no community which ever could or ever will be able to establish the beatitude of even one of its deceased members. The sanctity of so many departed members of the Catholic Church is a matter of consolation and a cause of joy to us, children of that Church. The relation in which we, who still belong to the Church militant upon earth, stand to the Saints, who already belong to the Church triumphant in heaven, and which we call in ecclesiastical language: Communion of Saints, avails to our own salvation, so that in truth the communion and veneration of the Saints constitute one of the most beautiful and the most sublime doctrines of our whole religion. If this is so, it is no wonder that the veneration of the Saints in the Catholic Church is attacked in various ways by her opponents. The most grievous charges, and not unfrequently absurd objections are made by Protestants and infidels. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
