Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Historical Selections From the London Rambler and Other Catholic Periodicals Again and again the world has counted it destroyed, paralysed, or changed; but behold, it is at this very hour as young, as vigorous, as mighty as ever; and as eager for the contest, as if it had never known the agonies of martyrdom, or the treachery of deceitful friends. Yet again, and more wonderful still, this society is more perplexed, agitated, and thwarted by its own members, than by the most terrible of its open foes. Infallibly taught from on high in many things, and bound down by a divine law to a rigid obedience in many matters of detail and practice, it is nevertheless made up of millions of souls, not one of whom is safe from sins of the deepest dye, while the vast majority of their number are of a very ordinary degree of goodness, and while, except in the case of its supreme head, not one of them is personally safe from the most fatal errors of judgment and doctrine. Scattered throughout the habitable world, its children have to act for themselves in unnumbered myriads of emergencies, to maintain conflicts with every conceivable species of opponent, and against disadvantages which apparently must inevitably overwhelm them, and in the end must blot them out from among men. But still that society lives; and at a moment when its chief is an exile from his own home, driven away by as contemptible a band of petty scoundrels as ever dishonoured the worst of ends, it is more united in itself than at almost any other period of its existence, and is girding up its loins for a fresh battle with those powers of the world which it has again and again subdued and destroyed. Never at any previous era in its history has it been so free from all open scandals in its children; never were they more affectionately attached to their highest earthly ruler; never was the attention of wise and thinking men more anxiously directed to its movements, or more confidently expecting from it some great and glorious deeds, to save the world from calamity and woe.
