The Church Quarterly Review Vol 40 Classic Reprint PDF Download

Excerpt from The Church Quarterly Review, Vol. 57: For October, 1903 January, 1904 In this connection we should like to quote also some very weighty words of Canon Newbolt and Mr. Darwell Stone in their important pamphlet on The Church of England: The English Church voices to us the Catholic Church, appeals to us in clear tones, emphasizing a definite position, claims to have made such alterations, as were made, with a certain end in view, with her eye on the primitive Church, and with a determina tion to preserve all laudable practices of the whole Catholic Church. Our dificulties arise now from the fact that this attitude is not accepted, and that in its place has arisen the dangerous and anomalous contention that the English Church, or rather the Church in England, is committed to an untenable position that she only represents so many dioceses of the Western Church, and may well be arraigned on the charge of schism. Therefore it is the duty of all those who owe allegiance to the Catholic Church, to ignore all the peculiarities and crotchets of a pseudo-anglicanism, and to take advantage of troublous times to make a series of expeditions into the regions of pure Catholicism, and annex privately such portions of the heritage as those who live in England seem to have been deprived Of, to dwell in them, to Obtain squatters' rights, and then at last, by persistence and threats, to obtain Episcopal recognition and public toleration for their annexations. The result of this policy has been and must be disastrous; in grasping at the shadow of Catholic privileges, we have lost the essential principle of Catholicism, Obedience to authority.
