An Essay to Procure Catholic Communion Upon Catholic Principles (Classic Reprint)

This book earnestly appeals to the Church's desire for unity, seeking a return to a form of Catholicism based on universal principles. The author argues that the basis for a shared faith must be founded in holy scripture as interpreted and unanimously agreed upon by the early fathers of the Church, up to the fifth century. Drawing on the likes of Vincentius Lirinensis, and quoting extensively from the writings of bishops, scholars, and key figures of the Reformation, the author shows that there is common ground on which to build a united Church. This book is an exhortation for unity within the Church, calling for a return to shared principles in order to heal divisions.
