Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Reflections Arising Out of the Popish Aggression: For the Consideration of the Church, Laity, and Parliament, With Comments on the Dispute Between the Rev. Bennett of Saint Barnabas, Pimlico, and the Bishop of London The Question - will the present excitement in matters of Church Government and individual faith be beneficial, or detrimental to the interests, spiritually, of the community or not, is so momentous that it cannot be too much discussed, or too deeply considered. Ostensibly the feeling existent is Papal aggression - really, is it not more some indescribable fear that each man has of himself and of his neighbour as "to the hope that is in him." That there is a wide-spread feeling, natural enough to Englishmen and historically their characteristic, to resist all foreign interference, or innovation under whatever pretence it may be offered, a sense of independent superiority which makes the nation almost una voca rise at the idea of any foreigner, whether Pope or King, for it matters not with John Bull, presuming to meddle, or order in any matters in this to him sacred island - that such a feeling is truthful there can be no doubt - but among the educated classes, among the reflecting portion of the people, among those who habitually attend the Church - not as a custom and habit only, but really for devotional purposes what is their feeling at this moment? are we to suppose that the length and breadth of the land has been aroused, that public meetings, prepared by private reflection, and as we do hope by private prayer, have been organized and held - that the Queen has been petitioned, the Bishops invoked without each man considering "the hope that is in him" - God forbid. And hence we may proceed to ask what is the effect likely to be produced by this religious excitement throughout the country? As a simple Protestant layman, for years looking forward to those changes in the Church which should bring into its fold the stray sheep, and certain that though some would be stubborn and some disaffected, the Church, with the Church service properly administered would leave very few without its pale, the Papal aggression is deeply interesting.
