48 p.; 20.5 cm. Answer to Robert Bickersteth (1816-1884), A charge delivered to the clergy of the Diocese of Ripon, 1873. `The heretic cares for nothing but his own opinions; and neither Pope nor Council, inspired writer nor Saint, can turn him from his stubborn resolve. But a Catholic knows that he may contend about opinions, but nust not contend against dogma; nor is there anything more edifying in the history of the Church than the submission of opponents to decree. When the Bishop of Ripon talks of "rival Popes and rival Councils," "one Pope anathematizing what another Pope holds true, and so with Councils," he is unconsciously touching on one the the very strongest proofs of the personal infallibility of the Popes. The Bishop's statement is of course incorrect: no Pope has ever anathematized what another Pope taught, nor has any true [ital.] Council falsifed a true [ital.].' (p. 35) -- `It would be better that an Anglican Bishop should preach on "the errors of Protestantism," and point out to his hearers "the abomination of desolation," which schism and heresy have begotten. That is the right thing for him. The Church of England has reached its last state of hopeless fatuity and disgrace; and the only chance for its members to escape blank nihilism is to come bodily into the Catholic Church.' (p. 48) Good, removed, in orig. gray wrapper.
