"Christian Science." 77 Spiritualism. 96 Catholicism. 119
Catholicism and the Future. 152 The Conversion of England. 170 In
almost any piece of continuous history there are moments at which
the student has an almost free choice as to how he shall interpret
the facts, this way or that. For research is worth little until an
interpretation of and a verdict upon the evidence are possible.
Every now and then, these are exceptionally important and
exceptionally difficult to read. Thus: Can the gulf between the
thought of Christ and that of His first evangelists and apostles be
bridged? Is the Church of 150 A.D. organically continuous with that
of the Apostles? Such questions as these are vital to one who would
decide what he must "think of Christ." Perhaps in all cases the
answer is best given under the strong impulse of God's grace.
Still, human words can help. For Mgr. Benson, the crucial points,
at which he believed himself able to help, were not those which we
have mentioned, but certain "moments" connected with the position
of St. Peter and the Pope, with the crisis of the Reformation, and
with the relation of modern religious instinct with the unseen
world. Infallibility and Tradition was a topic which from the
beginning had preoccupied him. Mr. Spencer Jones, under whose
auspices his paper was read, had, years before, helped Hugh Benson
not a little towards submission to the Infallible See. Queens Mary
and Elizabeth stand almost as symbols of the acceptance or
rejection of that See: Benson puts before you their Death-beds, and
leaves you to interpret his picture of those meaningful and yet
mysterious moments in our history. In Christian Science and
Spiritualism he examines two modern manifestations of that strange
tendency which drives men, despite themselves, to reach out beyond
the materialistic world, into the unseen, and he unhesitatingly
condemns these two systems as frivolous, dangerous, and degrading.
To whom then shall we go? Back to that Catholicism which includes
all that Christ taught; that Queen Mary clung to, finding in it the
happiness which Elizabeth had lost; and all that the modern
spiritistic methods offer and do not give. To Catholicism, he
argues in yet another pamphlet, belongs the Future; to Catholicism
England, in particular, he avers, must, if she is to keep any
Christianity, receive Conversion. In this group, then, of reprinted
pamphlets is to be found one expression of the scheme into which
Mgr. Benson's outlook fitted itself. It is again and again true
that, starting with Christianity as the Revelation of God, he could
see no form anywhere save the Catholic into which it could
intelligibly place itself. Since then Christianity, he believed, is
immortal, to the Catholics belong the future -- even as they have
possessed the past, and educated Europe into all that is best and
truest in the present. C.C. MARTINDALE. Easter, 1916.

St. Alphonsus writes: "a single bad book will be sufficient to
cause the destruction of a monastery." Pope Pius XII wrote in 1947
at the beatification of Blessed Maria Goretti: "There rises to Our
lips the cry of the Saviour: 'Woe to the world because of scandals
' (Matthew 18:7). Woe to those who consciously and deliberately
spread corruption-in novels, newspapers, magazines, theaters,
films, in a world of immodesty " We at St. Pius X Press are calling
for a crusade of good books. We want to restore 1,000 old Catholic
books to the market. We ask for your assistance and prayers. This
book is a photographic reprint of the original. The original has
been inspected and some imperfections may remain. At Saint Pius X
Press our goal is to remain faithful to the original in both
photographic reproductions and in textual reproductions that are

This is a new release of the original 1946 edition.
WHAT is it that changes the world? Events? Ideas? or men? Not mere
inhuman events, certainly. An earthquake, even of Messina; a
volcanic eruption, even of Mont Pelee; the sinking of a, Titanic,
do not jerk the globe off its axis. Doubtless the advent or
recession of a Glacial Period; the depression of a continent below
sea-level or its reappearance would alter history; but these
processes are too gradual or too wholesale to be given, in its
ordinary sense, the name "event." Therefore, not just the
cannon-ball at the bygone siege, of which we shall have to tell,
is, half-jestingly, to be offered as the cause of that tremendous
influencing of the world's history we aro to speak of, though it
had its rebound from the battered wall never wounded Don Inigo of
Loyola, who can foresee his career Ideas, then? That is far nearer
truth. It was the ideas set sailing down the wind by a Rousseau,
for instance, which, far rather than any grinding tax or
aristocratic privilege, settled maddeningly in men's brains, and
bred the Revolution?
