Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Institution of the Archpriest Blackwell: A Study of the Transition From Paternal to Constitutional and Local Church Government Among the English Catholics, 1595 to 1602 The history of the Catholic Church in England since the Reformation is one of much and varied interest, but the chief no doubt is that of the stricken field. It makes one´s heart beat again, to see so small and weak a body fighting for years, first against a tyranny so overwhelming as that of the Tudors, and then against despots, less vigorous indeed than their predecessors, but still incomparably more powerful than the defenceless minority, which they strove so violently to extirpate. That minority had, as is evident, but one source of strength, the religious faith inherited from the ancient Church, and kept alive by missioners educated abroad in the atmosphere of the Catholic Church, and governed by communication with Rome. From this it must follow that, if we could trace the exact history of that government, we should also learn much that was supremely important concerning the heroic endurance of our forefathers. But constitutional history has difficulties of its own. It treats of abstract principles, of laws and rights, matters not easy to realize and describe, whose history cannot be traced without some trouble. Again, it has to busy itself with debates and disputes, and thus becomes liable to party-prejudices; and these in turn prove serious obstacles, if the parties in those debates were related to institutions which are still alive. Finally, the debate in which we are interested was carried on with quite extraordinary quarrelsomeness and obstinacy. That our estimable forbears deserved both those reproaches will become only too evident to my readers before we finish. The truth is admitted on all hands.
