Not illustrated. 1843 edition. Excerpt: ...God's word apocryphal scriptures, false doctrine, and corrupt tradition; and on the other hand, with them who have taken from it what is essential to Christianity, " making the cross of Christ of no effect," and leading those who profess and call themselves Christians, a downward course to unbelief and laxity of morals. True, Catholicism is in most danger of being, on the one side, corrupted by Jesuitical artifice and idolatrous superstition, and, on the other, of being " spoiled through philosophy and a vain deceit, .... after the rudiments of the world, and not after Christ." Being warned from heaven to "beware" let us continue in the straight and narrow way, and " turn not to the right hand or to the left." The differing denominations of those who are called orthodox Christians agree in holding and teaching the most essential principles of the gospel, and may be considered by us as laboring, more or less directly, in behalf of the true catholic church, and well may we rejoice, and determine, with St. Paul, that we will rejoice that by them " Christ is preached." What I next mention, is the difference between Papists and Protestants respecting the power of priests to forgive sin. In addition to my former remarks on their views of repentance, of their sacrament of penance, and of their sale of indulgences, it is sufficient for iny present purpose to say, what is but too evident, that, as matter of fact, the great majority of Papists, after confessing to a priest, and receiving absolution, feel no compunction for their sins, nor do they generally appear to have that " repentance towards God," which God himself requires as necessary to their forgiveness and to their being " accepted in the Beloved." So far as we may reasonably judge, they...

Excerpt from The Reformation: A Brief Exposition of Some of the Errors and Corruptions Emboldened by this extraordinary movement, a bishop of the Romish Church has published a Letter, addressed to the Bishops of the Protestant Episcopal Church, inviting them to union with the Papists, and more than intimating that there is now but little which separates us from them; that sub mitting to the pope is necessary to the saving of our souls; and that, unless we do it, numbers may brew/t from owr ranks.

John Henry Newman (1801-90) was brought up in the Church of England in the Evangelical tradition. An Oxford graduate and Fellow of Oriel College, he was appointed Vicar of St Mary's Oxford in 1828; from 1839 onwards he began to have doubts about the claims of the Anglican Church and in 1845 he was received into the Roman Catholic Church. He was made a Cardinal in 1879. His influence on both the restoration of Roman Catholicism in England and the advance of Catholic ideas in the Church of England was profound. This volume covers a crucially important and significant period in Newman's life. The Church of England bishops' continuing condemnation of Tract 90 - plus Pusey's two-year suspension for preaching a university sermon on the Real Presence - are major factors in Newman resigning as Vicar of St Mary's, Oxford. His doubts about the Church of England are deeper and stronger than ever, and he is moving closer to Rome. William Lockhart's sudden defection to Rome in August 1843 precipitates his resignation. He preaches his final Anglican sermon, 'The Parting of Friends', and retires into lay communion at Littlemore. The first edition of University Sermons, including the celebrated sermon on theological development, virtually sells out within a fortnight.
