Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Globe, Vol. 4: A New Review of World-Literature, Society, Religion, Art and Politics It is an old story that Catholic truth and Catholic art and Catholic worship are at the heart of all that is best in Protestant worship, art and literature. It could not be otherwise, as the child surely inherits the soul of its parents, differentiated to suit the new whims or destiny of the child. All this has been traced and magnified by many authors and in many ways. For a long time I have been thinking of the other side, the reflex of this story, viz., to what extent the Church has already learned from and adopted the ways of modern, aggressive Protestantism; to what extent she is still doing this, and to what extent it is safe, wise and desirable to do so. Until quite recently I, like other Protestants, was wholly ignorant of the liberty, the pliability and what one might almost call the Protestant and popular tendency of the Church in many of its relations to modern thought and modern ways. I knew the Church only, or mainly, from the rear pews of its cathedrals, and from a touch of acquaintance here and there with a priest, at long range, and it is only during the last year or two that the perfect and heavenly meanings of its beautiful devotions, which have so often moved me to tears, are dawning upon my reason and finding a responsive approval in my mind.
