Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Problem of Reunion: Discussed Historically in Seven Essays That a Catholic of the Roman, and therefore, as he believes, of the only true communion, should venture to discuss the problem of reunion to many may appear surprising. What is there to say, and of what possible use can it be to say it, seeing that reunion is so plainly impossible? Had it not been for the war these sentiments might well have been those of the present writer. But four years´ experience in an army that has been drawn from all parts of the earth, and in which one is thrown into the closest conjunction with men of every possible shade of belief, cannot but modify, if not one´s belief, at any rate one´s outlook in a matter that after all should be of interest to all who call themselves Catholics. Reunion with Rome is undoubtedly for the majority of Englishmen and Scotsmen a long way off, but it is also undoubtedly much nearer than it was fifty years or ten years ago. The desire of a world-wide and united Church is growing stronger every day, and though it appeals to men mainly as an ideal, they admit that the Church that is world-wide and one, must of necessity be included. This means that reunion with Rome must some day become for all Christians a practical problem, and that already we should be looking ahead with a view to preparing the way for it. That, in fact, is precisely what the Oxford movement is doing for Anglicans, and what the Free Catholic movement is already beginning to do for Nonconformists. There are those who complain that these movements are keeping men out of what we believe to be the one true Church. On the contrary, they are providing us with hundreds of converts, and what is of even greater moment, are working as a leaven in the country at large, dispelling ignorance, breaking down prejudice, and leading men from truth to truth, in a way that to us is impossible.
