Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Theodore and Wilfrith: Lectures Delivered in St. Paul´s in December 1896 This little book represents the last of the series of five courses of lectures on the Earliest History of the Church of England, which I have delivered at St. Paul´s in accordance with an arrangement made five years ago with the late Archbishop of Canterbury. The subject would have been a thorny one at any time of our history since the commencement of the fight for restored freedom which culminated in the Reformation. The modern aggression of the Roman schism makes it a very thorny subject indeed just now. My aim has been to shew that not all the gratitude of the English to the great see which had sent them Augustine and found for them Theodore, and not all their respect for the city which held the tombs of St. Peter and St. Paul, led them to recognise the arrogant claims made in the period which our subject covers. Whatever is the opposite of subservience, that we find to be the characteristic of the English attitude. A long list of claims made is of no effect at all in argument against such proofs of sturdy independence as here we find. There is plenty of high-sounding language on the part of Rome. The English will be seen going on their way in rather contemptuous disregard of claims and threats completely futile, not pressed when they were seen to be useless.
