Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Rambler, Vol. 9: A Catholic Journal and Review "In the eyes of Rome," says Father Gagarin, "the Russian Bishops are true Bishops, and the Russian priests true priests." This conclusion was not admitted with regard to a considerable portion of the hierarchy without some very sharp disputes, - disputes similar to those which are now with the same breath being both invited and deprecated in England. There are, if we are to believe Mr. Henry Collins, a recent convert, many Anglicans who have been prevented becoming Catholics only by the "bitterness of the tone" of some of us. "The number of conversions that has been impeded, or altogether hindered, can never be fully known." Among "bitternesses of tone," our opinion of the invalidity of English orders holds a foremost place; we ought for the sake of peace either to change it or to conceal it. "What right has any Catholic to press upon Anglicans, and to insist upon it, that their Bishops are mere laymen? The Church has never decided it, or spoken positively: no man may therefore speak positively of it (!). It is an open question; and in winning over others whose faith is any way different, all open questions are better avoided, especially if they wound the feelings of those we would gain. To speak disagreeable things is never the way to win men; they should never, then, be spoken except when absolutely necessary. Why take a pleasure in hunting out methods of annoying one whom we would convert? The fact that Anglicans value orders is a point on our side; for if they value them, they value their absolute certainty. But the point being open, Catholics may, and some do, hold the opinion that Anglican orders are valid, and that, if they are not certain, yet a very great deal more can be said for their validity than for the contrary ∂ but it is enough that, upon an open question, it is highly impolitic to exasperate one whom we would win.
