Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Ireland and Her Churches It is curious to notice how persons interested in ecclesiastical abuses treat those who try to have them corrected by legitimate means.All who make the attempt are regarded either as enemies of the Church or traitors in the camp, equally unworthy of attention. The English Church, resting on a broad national foundation, can bear to have abuses pointed out, because it is conscious of its utility, is not afraid that it is going to be destroyed, and has not got into the habit of being alarmed at the cry of "the Church in danger." But the Irish Establishment, resting on the narrow basis of a fraction of the population, and painfully conscious of its false position, is morbidly sensitive when anything is said about its defects, and it grows very angry with those who labour to bring about reforms, though in the most friendly spirit, and when they are absolutely necessary for its preservation. Its prelates, its dignified and highly beneficed clergy, and those who are dependent upon them, aware of the great secular and political interests which twine themselves round the institution and keep it from falling, while exhausting its internal strength, take advantage of its peculiar circum stances in order to secure impunity for practices that would not be tolerated in England: - The Church in Ireland is encamped in an enemy´s country.
