Excerpt from If I Should Meet the Master
More warily still do I have to tread the road to find you in ecclesiastical life. The Church - your Church has been overzealous to protect you, to defend you; and it has Often hidden you in fastnesses whither few could come. I breathed an exotic air as I sought you in the closed gardens of the papacy; my spirit was oppressed, its flights denied. Sometimes I found no Sign of you, but merely a simulacrum sitting in your place, nay climbing to a place you never sought, and dictating, yes, dictating, salvation to men, forcing them to keep a regimental step in belief and works. Then indeed I missed you, and so did others, - Blessed Francis for one, and Wycliffe, and Luther.
