Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters to Persons in the World, Vol. 6 Many besides myself will have heard with great satisfaction that it is in contemplation to prepare a complete and careful English translation of the works of St. Francis de Sales. The position of St. Francis, as a teacher of the Universal Church, has long been assured. But the recent Pontifical decree, which has enrolled him among those who are formally called Doctors of the Church, has directed the attention of all devout Christians to a more exhaustive examination of all that he has written. Those who use the English tongue may well desire to have an adequate English edition of a Saint who is one of the great devotional teachers of the Church during the time which has elapsed since the Council of Trent. The two opposite rocks which threaten the soul which aspired to devotion used to be put down as Jansenism on the one hand, and laxity on the other. Jansenism is not perhaps a living danger in these days. The winter of its bitter reign has gradually given way before the warmth of the teachings of St. Alphonsus.
