Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Story of the Catholic ChurchThe following pages are an attempt to give within a limited compass the main outlines of the events which make up the Story of the Catholic Church. That story is one that has no equal, whether we consider the number of persons, places, and vicissitudes involved, or the real importance of the interests at stake. It is, in fact, the very width and diversity of the subject matter which help to make it difficult to weave into one connected narrative. Yet, it is not without a centre. There is a unity in the subject strong enough to give form to the multitude of details, if only it can be properly handled. The problem for a writer must therefore be the accomplishment of this. Is there any hope of rising to his great argument, at least so far as to furnish an intelligible sketch of the mighty panorama unrolled before him? Nothing less than this hope assuredly would give heart to anyone to attempt the task. In such an enterprise as this a perfect work is, of course, out of the question. An outline that shall be true as far as it goes, not indeed showing everything, but mindful of balance and proportion and connection, would recompense much toil. And this is all that the present book aims at. To present that matchless story from one point of view in a way that any reader can understand, carrying him on from age to age and from land to land without undue weariness or distraction, but not forgetting the abiding centre and living unity which govern it, this has been the author's aim.Hence, although the plan of the book has needed some thought, and its details not inconsiderable labour, it can lay no claim to be a work of research. It has no new and startling secrets to reveal, no abstruse theories to discuss. It would not be a field adequate for such; but nothing has been put down which did not seem warranted by the facts.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A History of the Catholic Church This sublime purpose of Christ has always been the main object pursued by the Church. It is the highest aspect and aim of Christianity. But Christianity has two aspects: one, partially described above, is all divine, and looking to God; contemplating man, not in his temporal existence, but in the eternal state of being. This is the direct object of the existence of the Church. But it may be easily shown that the Church, which appears to have been intended exclusively for our happiness in a future life, is also to serve for the furtherance and maintenance of our well-being here below.

This book was released on 2018-03-24 with total page 700 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Popular History of the Catholic Church in the United States IT is seldom, indeed, that the American Catholic author of a strictly Catholic book, has the gratification of adding a few words to the fourth edition of his fist book within a few months after its first issue. Yet, scarcely six months have passed since the first copy of the present volume was given to the public. The earliest edition was so quickly disposed of, that I had but little time to make a hasty re vision, when another was called for. Soon a third edition was demanded, and, now, a fourth. I feel that I am deeply indebted to the kindness and generous appreciation of our Catholic public. To express fully my warm gratitude, I am at a loss for fitting terms. Were my volume a novel, or a romance, I would not be so astonished at its success; but it is a book of dates, facts, and figures, a book in which imagination had little room for play, a book, in fine, standing on the solid ground of truth. But, after all, perhaps, truth is stranger than fiction. Nor are my thanks less due to the American, Canadian, and British press, for the friendly expressions of welcome, the manly, courteous reception accorded to my first literary venture in the book-world. But I thank, above all, those learned and venerable Rulers of the Church whose valued, weighty, and beauti ful words of encouragement, I'can never forget.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Need of a Catholic Church But the world in 1915 is not in the least like that, and the contrast between what is and what might have been is due in part, at least, to the failure of the Church to be true to its own commission. It is also because of this that no practical man dreams of turning to the Church to find the way out from the intolerable situation into which the nations have drifted.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Cleveland: A Tale of the Catholic Church God permit it to be so. From his earliest youth the heart of Milner had been fixed on the Ministry, as the profession in which his tastes and convictions united. Fondly attached to the faith of his fathers, he trusted that he might be enabled to lead many in their way from the wilderness to the fold of the Great Shepherd. Before leaving England, Milner had pro cured some letters of introduction to various persons abroad. One had been sent to him, through the intervention of a friend, by Rossmore. It was directed to Cleveland. The latter received it one evening while walking alone in the garden of the con vent in which he resided. He immediately entered the room where Milner was waiting his approach. Milner felt some curiosity as to this interview. He had heard many praises of the excellent Superior of Saint Etienne; and having rarely conversed with a priest of the Romish persuasion, he was glad to have an opportunity of doing so. His though ts had been occupied enough about Cleveland, to sketch an ideal picture of the man, but as generally happens, the reality dispersed at once the vague vision.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The New Glories of the Catholic Church At a time when the eyes of nations are fixed on Rome, some in filial love because of the dangers which are closing round it, and others in eager hope of the downfall and dishonour of the Church of God; when Italy and the whole Catholic unity are afflicted by indignities heaped upon the Vicar of Jesus Christ, by those too who profess the Catholic name, the Holy Father, by commanding the publication of the following pages, points us to his solace and strength in the farthest East, where are now arising the New Glories of the Church of God. And to what does he direct our eyes? It is to no new splendour of Christian empires, no new monuments of Catholic civilization, but to the plains and cities of Corea, Tong-King, and Cochin-China, steeped with Catholic blood, shed not in the onslaught and victories of war, but in the more glorious martyrdoms of bishops and priests, of aged men, and feeble women, and children of tender age.
