Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Ecclesiastical Review, 1917, Vol. 56: A Monthly Publication for the Clergy, Cum Approbatione Superiorum
HE Catholic Church enjoys throughout the thoughtful world a merited reputation for strong organization. Her centralized power, her disciplinary control, her compact parish unity under the episcopacy, her forceful pronouncement on dogma and uncompromising adherence to dogmatic definition - all thee and more are outstanding bulwarks that elicit even non-catholic admiration and praise. But these charac teristics respect chie?y either the inward function of the spirit uality of the Church, or the outward mechanism of a body politic divinely fashioned, employing sacerdotal and sacra mental powers directly upon the salvation of man.
