Synopsis
Excerpt from The Place Where Prayer Was Wont to Be Made: The Re-Introduction of the System of Private Devotion in Churches Considered in a Letter to the Venerable the President of the Cambridge Camden Society
No English Catholick can, I think, have visited in foreign lands the churches Of another Communion, without being struck by some painful differences between them and our own. The doors are there open from day - break till the afternoon; in the morning hours, the number Of worshippers employed in private devotion 1s Often large; and even later in the day, when two or three aged men, or poor widows, are all who are to be found there, the character and the holiness of the House of Prayer are still maintained. Our traveller cannot but contrast these things with the difficulty Of access, on the week-day, to one of our own parish churches; with our fastened wickets, and locked doors, and bolted gates; with the deserted appearance, desolate sensations and damp atmosphere which mark one of god's Temples amongst ourselves. Doubtless the first impression, whatever might be the result of a further comparison, is in favour of the Foreign System, and against our own.
