The Church Under Queen Elizabeth Vol 1 PDF Download

Excerpt from The Church Under Queen Elizabeth, Vol. 1: An Historical Sketch "Coming nearer home, he said that England had lost the perfection of the unity of Faith and the unity of the Church; but though not a Catholic people it was Christian still. Taken in its millions it was a baptized people. Through the neglect and sin of fathers and mothers, multitudes grew up without baptism; but the English people still believed in Revelation, in the coming of Jesus Christ into the Wor]d as the Saviour of men, and in the inspiration of the Holy Scrip. tures as the Word of God."-H. E. Cardinal Manning, Archbishop of Westminster. (1879.) "I will say that battered as is that old hull [the Church of England], it is a. groat breakwater between the raging waves of Infidelity and Catholic Truth in this land; that it has held so long together, under so many disadvantages and dif ficulties, must be a work of Divine Providence for some great end which remains to be developed."-Augustus Wolby Pugin. (1853.) "Doubtless the National Church has hitherto been a. ser. viceable breakwater against doctrinal errors more fundamental than its own. How long this will last in the years now before us, it is impossible to say: for the Nation drags down its Church to its own level."-H. E. John Henry Cardinal Newman. (1864.) "Let only Catholics co-operate with their Anglican brethren, and Anglicans co-operate with Catholics, for the restoration of mutual and Corporate Unity: for the triumph of Catholic Truth, not for the destruction of anything that men hold and cling to as the outward and living form of their visible existence; and the glorious result, which every good man must wish for, and which none but evil men would deprecate, will soon crown our mutual and combined off orts."-Ambrose Ii.
