Excerpt from Mr. Gladstone's Expostulation UnravelledThe mixed universities forced upon their Catholic subjects by the policy of the German Governments have long been a source of troubles to the Church, and one remote result of these troubles has been to disturb the otherwise clear mind of the ex-prime Minister. In those universities the chairs of Catholic philosophy and thee logy were placed under one roof with the chairs of professors who, in the name of philosophy, Often sapped the foundations of reason, and, in the name Of theology, not unfrequently denied the divinity of Christ, the au thority of revelation, or even the nature of God. It is impossible for such opposite schools Of thought and doctrine to consort together without some of the Gatho lic professors and pupils contracting a taint from their unbelieving associates. For the doctrines of schools are not confined to lecture-rooms, and pupils them selves become professors in their season. If, through the force of faith and piety, very many Catholics escaped from the contagion, others less faithful contracted a laxity Of principle that led them, as professors or teach ers, to devise erroneous theories affecting the founda tions of reason, the constitution of the Church, certain doctrines bearing on faith, or the relations of the Church with civil society.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
