Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The English Reformation: How It Came About, and Why We Should Uphold It It is one of the most painful duties for a member of any branch of the Christian Church to have to blame or condemn any other section, even where there is the greatest reason for doing so. Were it possible it would be unspeakably more congenial only to approve. But there are cases in which fidelity to the truth demands frank and candid exposure of the hurtful principles, moral, religious, or political, which men have grafted on Christianity - principles which so counteract the spirit of our religion as in effect to neutralise it, if they do not even make it the occasion of actual evil to the individual, the family, or the State. Such cases have risen in every age, for there is nothing corrupt or doubtful in human nature that does not take advantage of the aid which religion gives for its spread. The grossest immorality, the wildest fanaticism, the most remorseless tyranny, have by turns made Christianity the vehicle for their advancement, as in other ages they have allied themselves with other faiths. At this day the most dangerous perversion of our religion is that known as sacerdotalism, or the grafting of priestly pretensions on the simple spiritual teaching of the New Testament.
