Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Post-Restoration Period of the Church in the British Isles: Lectures Delivered in 1890 Under the Auspices of the Church Club of New York, in Continuation of the Series of 1889
Nature Or organization of the Church, but only the cause of imperfection in her mem bers. From this it would follow that if, as we believe, the Catholic Church has grown from the divine root according to a divine plan, it is reasonable to look for such a connection between the divine life and the Church's life as will heal and strengthen and revivify her whenever, through the weakness or disease of her members, her corporate soundness becomes impaired; if God has made her and ordained her way through the ages, we should expect such a force of divine gravitation as will always keep her from losing her orbit, however much at times the attraction of sin in one form or another, upon her members, may deflect her course. To answer this expectation we appeal to history. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
