Excerpt from The Peace of the Church
A natural comment upon the general drift of argument and appeal in the following pages would be that it is too conspicuously Protestant. Arc the children of the Reformation, the author might very plausibly be asked, the only Christian folk to be counted in forecasting the contour and proportions of our national Church? Is no significance to be attached to the marvellous growth and spread among us of the Latin form of Christ's religion in these recent days? And have we no word of invitation for those who differ with us in their estimate of the value of the results Luther and Cranmer brought to pass? Certainly there is force in these expostulations. To wink the advance of Roman Catholic religion in this country out of sight is as foolish as the letting ourselves be irritated by what we see is weak.
Neither are those to be commended who can see in the activity of the Papal forces nothing less or other than a distinct menace to our civilization.
