Description
Excerpt from The See of S. Peter: The Rock of the Church, the Source of Jurisdiction and the Centre of Unity
For though his study of the question terminated for the moment at this point, yet the Supremacy claimed by S. Peter''s See over the whole Church was a subject never out of his thoughts. And in the meantime what he saw of the actual state of the Roman Communion in other lands, of the principles on which it was based, and of the fruits which it produced, deeply moved and affected him. That Communion seemed in full possession of the great sacerdotal and sacramental system for which earnest Anglicans were vainly struggling, as well as of that religious unity the name of which in an'' Anglican mouth sounded like a mockery, amid the deep contradictions, both as to principles and as to practice, which are equally tolerated and supported by the Establishment; when just at this moment that one only doctrine of all those mooted at the Reformation, which had appeared to him to be as unquestionably taught, at least by the formularies of the Anglican Church, as by the ancient Church - the doctrine of Baptismal Regeneration - was brought before the tribunal of the Court of Arches, and thence carried, by appeal, to the Queen in Council.
