Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Frederic Ozanam: Professor at the Sorbonne, His Life and Works The following passages from a Review of the first edition of this Biography of Frederic Ozanam is the best preface I can give, at the request of the writer, to the second edition of this deeply interesting narrative. Henry Edward, Aug. 15, 1878. Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster. Père Gratry has said somewhere in his writings that one difference between the society of the Middle Ages and of these latter centuries consists in this, "Society then was Catholic, and sustained men above themselves, but now Society is Catholic no longer, and drags men downwards with itself." The truth of this is to be seen perhaps more clearly in France and in this century than in any other period or country. The first French Revolution decatholicized the society of France. Its Catholicism has survived in individuals, and yet they have, with exceptions indeed, shown the depressing and distorting power of the society into which they were born, and by which they were nurtured. What the Germans call the "Time-Spirit" is powerful everywhere, but it has shown its subtlety and its supremacy nowhere more visibly than in the noble and chivalrous race of Catholics who have so powerfully urged onward the reaction towards faith in France since the year 1830. M. de Broglie has said that the principles of 1789 were formulated and published not only as a charter for France but as a gospel for mankind. M. Thiers said to a bishop on his way to the Council, "Do not attack the principles of 1789; whoso touches them touches the marrow of Frenchmen." They have penetrated into the intelligence and created a public opinion which affects even those who resist them.
