Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Dublin Review, Vol. 8: February May, 1840 It is a remarkable feature in the character of the Established Church, that, though, from her origin, supported by all the power of the State, possessed of immense wealth, and all the´ advantages of " the Ascendancy," she has ever been compelled, in her contests with Catholicism, to resort to weapons of offence, for the employment of which it would be difficult to find a sanction in any code of morality recognized among Christians. The weapons, of which we are now disposed to complain, are misrepresentation and calumny. She has ever found it easier to prepossess her followers with the belief that "Popery" was a farrago of absurdities, than to state its real tenets, and refute them - to frighten them into a horror of that faith by the awful disclosures that it was damnable, blasphemous, superstitious, and idolatrous, and the source of everything odious in religion, morality, and politics, than to be at the trouble of telling precisely what it was that rendered it liable to this general condemnation. We cannot but regret, for the sake of our common Christianity, that her ministers have ever pursued this discreditable system. Whether it proceeded originally from the lack of charity, or of knowledge, it would be now difficult to determine.
