Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Select Letters of Our Very Reverend Fathers General, Vol. 1: To the Fathers and Brothers of the Society of Jesus A letter of St. Ignatius on the means of promoting the cause of religion, especially in upper and lower Germany. As our Society has been destined by divine Providence to be one of the most powerful instruments for repairing the evils of heresy, it seems to me that the rapid progress made by the heretics in spreading the poison of their evil doctrine, and the new measures which they are taking day by day to advance their interests, should make us solicitous to provide remedies not only good in themselves, but of ready and far-reaching application. Especially among the Northern nations would these remedies enable us speedily to preserve what is still sound, and to cure what is already infested by the plague of heresy. Two causes have contributed largely to the spread of this moral evil. First, the heretics have made their false theology popular by adapting it to the intelligence of the common people, and by teaching in the schools and preaching in public. By circulating small books, cheap and easily understood they have spread their doctrine; and thus the baneful influence of error has extended to those places, where the ministers of error would not be allowed to enter. Secondly, the bad example and ignorance of the Catholics them selves, but more particularly that of the clergy, together with the negligence of the appointed pastors of the flocks of Christ have brought untold havoc and ruin on the pastures of the Lord. Wherefore, it seems to me our Society should oppose these heretics by the following means, and thus supply a remedy for the evils, which, through their agency, have come upon the Church.
