Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Letters on Some of the Errors of Romanism: In Controversy With the Rev. Nicholas Wiseman The publication of the series of Letters now brought to a conclusion (at least for the present), was undertaken with a view to exhibit some of the most important features of Romanism in their genuine form. This task has become necessary in consequence of the system of Reserve so generally practised by Romish controversialists, in reference to the more obnoxious parts of their system. The system referred to, studiously distinguishes the doctrines and practices prevalent in the Roman Communion into two classes; the former consisting of matters of faith, or doctrines defined by the Church; the latter consisting of matters of opinion, or doctrines not so defined. The use made of this distinction in all writings and discourses intended for those who arc opposed to Romanism, is to avoid all responsibility for, and all discussion on doctrines of the latter class, by representing them as mere non-essentials, which any member of the Roman Communion may dispute or reject at pleasure; while the attention of opponents is drawn entirely to the former class of doctrines, which being commonly proposed in general terms and with great caution, are far less assailable. The benefits derived from this system are various. In the first place it induces some of those who are opposed to Romanism, to direct their attention almost entirely to the formal definitions of the Council of Trent, and to condemn some points which might be more discreetly left untouched. The effect of this is to create division amongst opponents, and to place some of them in untenable positions.
