Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Third Letter to the Rev. William Palmer, M. A: Of Worcester College, Oxford, on Auricular Confession, and the Absolute Necessity Thereof; Also the Nullity of the Church of England´s Ordinations, Notes, Etc Rev. Sir, I may justly compare the Sectarians of the present day - as St. Gregory Nazianzen did that enemy of God, Julian the Apostate, (Nazian. Orat. 1, in Julianum) - to the Camelion. For, as he changes himself into all the varieties of colour, except white, which is the most true and the most natural; so, in like manner, our Reformers admit of every species of Doctrine, and in this respect allow of all sorts of Confession, except that one which is the most important and beneficial to the soul. - 1st. They permit the Confession of sins to God in general. - 2nd. The Confession of some sins in particular to a learned Minister, to receive comfort and direction from him. - 3rd. The Confession of certain enormous crimes, publicly made in the presence of the Congregation, for their satisfaction and for the terror of others. - 4th. The Confession of private injuries to the party offended, in order to be reconciled to him. But the Confession of all particular sins to a lawful Priest, to receive Pardon and Absolution, they solemnly disavow. Wherein, to proceed more perspicuously, they chiefly deny Three Principal Points. - 1st. The Power in Priests to absolve from sin. - 2nd. The necessity of sinners to Confess. - 3rd. The necessity of relating every particular offence. All which, notwithstanding, I will clearly prove from that sovereign command which Christ gave to his Apostles, when, breathing on them, he said: "Receive ye the Holy Ghost. Whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them; and whose sins you shall retain, they are retained."
