Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Irish Ecclesiastical Record, Vol. 20: A Monthly Journal, Under Episcopal Sanction, July, 1906 The book with the above name having given occasion to a long article by Father Thurston, S. J., in the April and May numbers of the Month, I was advised to reply to it, so that many of his statements, very injurious to the cause of truth, even though unintentionally so, might not be allowed to pass without some antidote. Accordingly, I wrote to the Editor of the Month; but he excused himself from publishing my letter, saying that the June number was already full, and he did not think it would be possible to extend the discussion farther. If this is fair play towards a subject that seriously affects the dealings of Rome with Ireland, I leave others to judge. Happily, however, I am not quite without resource. There are other men, we must gratefully acknowledge, who take a deeper interest in the honour of Ireland, perhaps also of the Papacy, than our friends across the channel seem to do. Father Thurston writes for all the world like a man who believes that Pope Adrian could do nothing better or wiser than hand over Ireland to England; that Henry II and his Norman followers were just the men to effect a moral reformation of Ireland; and that, as for the bishops, clergy, nobles, and people of Ireland, they were ´served right.´ He does little to defend Cambrensis, who was ready to insert in his book the most extravagant stories, and who, he admits, was a forger.
