Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from William George Ward and the Oxford Movement The writer in the Times of the Jubilee Retrospect of the events of the present reign, in touching on the Ecclesiastical aspect of the Victorian era, says: "The Catholic - or as it is named from the accident of its method the Tractarian - Movement in the Church of England is the first to arrest the attention of the observer;" and after referring to the nature of its influence on the religion of England, he speaks as follows of the climax of the original Oxford-Movement: Its originators "found themselves stranded in an eddy of the stream they had set in motion, and while the Catholic revival vivified and transformed the English Church, itself being modified and transformed in the process, its distinguished pioneers, with Newman and Ward at their head, joined the Church of Rome." The mention of these two names reminds us of a fact, not without importance in its bearing on the significance of the Movement, that the Oxford party, at the time of its greatest prominence, consisted in reality of two schools, whose views and starting point were by no means identical; and that representative members of each eventually found the outcome of their principles in the Church of Rome. The old Tractarian party, which carried on its work in comparative peace up to 1839, may be said to have represented the common measure of the views of its three leaders Newman, Pusey, and Keble.
