Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from A Scottish Knight-Errant: A Sketch of the Life and Times of John Ogilvie, Jesuit Up till very recent times ordinary readers derived their whole knowledge of the history of the Catholic Church in Scotland from the writings of Knox, Buchanan, Spottiswoode, Calder-wood, and others of the same school, and from their modern disciples, imitators, and borrowers. In these works, written from a notoriously Protestant standpoint, the Catholic religion and everything and everybody connected with it were, naturally, painted in the blackest colours. It is little wonder, therefore, that the Scottish people in general, knowing of the Catholic Church, its clergy and its defenders, before and after the Reformation, only from such sources, should have devoutly thanked God that they had been delivered from Popery and all its works and pomps. More recently, however, through the painstaking labours of independent and fair-minded Protestant scholars, as well as by the very useful work done by Catholic writers, this perversion of history is being exposed, and people - at least those who think and read - are seeing things in a new light. They are beginning to view the religion of their forefathers, and its work and influence upon the nation, with more favourable eyes; the more they read about it in reliable authorities, the more good they will see in it, and the more they will realize that they have been deceived into a rash and erroneous judgment.
