CHAPTER VII THE LOSSES OF THE CHURCH ONE of the funniest aspects of the situation as regards the Roman Church in Great Britain is the astonishment at each other of Catholics and non-Catholics. How, asks the innocent non-Catholic when he reads such things as I have described, can this sort of thing be accepted by […]

CHAPTER VI THE CATHOLIC CLERGY THE system of making priests I have described in my Twelve Years in a Monastery. Recruits are now sought at a very early age, and usually from the less educated class. In order that I may state the case quite accurately, I run over, in memory, the list of my […]

CHAPTER V THE CATHOLIC ATMOSPHERE ONE of the cherished phrases of those expert phrasemakers, the leaders of the Catholic clergy, is "the Catholic atmosphere." Catholics must have their own journals, their own literature, their own science and art, their own clubs, their own schools – even, to judge by the trade-columns in their journals, their […]

CHAPTER IV CATHOLIC SERVICES THE services that I have so far noticed are conducted entirely in Latin, and the language of the priest is, as a rule, as inaudible to the people as it would be unintelligible. This has its advantages. The fact that the "mass" is in Latin saves considerable time, as we saw, […]

CHAPTER III THE CONFESSIONAL AND INDULGENCES IF there is one part of the Catholic system which more than any other has attracted the attention of non-Catholics, it is what the Church calls "the sacrament of penance," and others call the practice of confession. No part of a church is observed by the visitor with such […]

CHAPTER II THE TEACHING OF THE CHURCH WITH the bulk of the teaching of the Church I am ,not concerned, since it is the common teaching of Christianity. Let us rather consider what are the distinctive doctrines and practices of the Church of Rome to-day: the perfect outcome of eighteen centuries of the "supernatural gift," […]

SECTION II THE CHURCH OF ROME TO-DAY   CHAPTER I CATHOLIC SCHOLARSHIP THE reader may perhaps wonder if it is possible in such countries as the United States, England, and Germany for the writers of any sect to fence their people from the scholarship of modern times. If the facts of Papal history are as […]

SECTION I THE HISTORY OF THE ROMAN CHURCH CHAPTER VII THE MODERN PHASE IN the opinion of "Catholic Truth," the reform of the Church, which it grossly exaggerates, was due to its own vital powers of recovery, not to the pressure of heretics. As I have repeatedly pointed out, the most irritating feature of Catholic […]

SECTION I THE HISTORY OF THE ROMAN CHURCH CHAPTER VI THE PAPACY IN THE DEPTHS THE Catholic theory is that God, for his inscrutable reasons – this is said in low and reverential tones permitted the Papacy to contract a stain at times from the age in which it lived. The plain historical truth is […]

SECTION I THE HISTORY OF THE ROMAN CHURCH CHAPTER V DOWN THE SLOPE WE have reached the thirteenth century, which Catholic writers seem to propose as a shining model for the twentieth century. What art! What splendid trade unions (or guilds)! What beautiful saints, like Francis and Dominic! What – Mr. Chesterton would say – […]

SECTION I THE HISTORY OF THE ROMAN CHURCH CHAPTER IV THE PAPACY AT ITS HEIGHT IN the preceding three chapters I have described a thousand years of Papal history: a thousand years since, according to the Roman tradition, Peter had brought his special inspiration to Rome and inaugurated a "divinely inspired" series of pontiffs. What […]

SECTION I THE HISTORY OF THE ROMAN CHURCH CHAPTER III THE PAPACY IN THE DARK AGES THE Pope to whom I have referred, Hadrian (or Adrian) I, was one of the most respected and religious prelates in Rome at the time of the horrors I have described, and he succeeded to the Papacy a few […]

SECTION I THE HISTORY OF THE ROMAN CHURCH CHAPTER II EUROPE DECAYS AND THE POPES THRIVE SIMULTANEOUSLY with this forging of credentials and lowering of character in the Roman Church there was a singular transformation of its originally simple offices. The Pagans were accustomed to highly coloured and picturesque ceremonies, and the new Church indulgently […]

SECTION I THE HISTORY OF THE ROMAN CHURCH CHAPTER I THE ORIGIN OF THE PAPACY OF all the fictions which still shelter from the storm of modern criticism under the leaky umbrella of "Catholic Truth," the legend of the divine foundation of the Papacy and the Papal system is quite the boldest and most romantic.
