Catholic Doctrine As Defined by the Council of Trent: Expounded in a Series of Conferences Delivered in Geneva; Proposed As a Means of Reuniting All Christians (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Catholic Doctrine as Defined by the Council of Trent: Expounded in a Series of Conferences Delivered in Geneva; Proposed as a Means of Reuniting All Christians

Conferences. His faith knows on whom it rests. And therefore he can say with the Apostle: I know whom I have believed and I am certain that He is able to keep that which I have committed to Him. 2 Tim. I. 12. No wonder then that the God of hope fills him with all joy and peace in believing. Rom. Xv. 13. A laudable curiosity however he may entertain, for who does not love to contemplate the workings of the Holy Spirit upon earth and to enjoy the delight of a better comprehension of His infinite love manifested in working out the salva tion of man? But beyond this the Catholic knows, that the Spirit of Truth abides with the Apostles of the Saviour and he has no fear nor anxiety about the result. To him that blessed Spirit will Speak by the mouth of His Vicar on earth and whatever doubt he may have had before on questions, that were still debateable, will dis appear under the brightness of the Faith evolved in the words of Pius IX. To him this work will however be full of interest and consolation: of interest, because it gives a history of the last three centuries of trial and combat in what should most excite the curiosity of a rational being, that is, in the confirmation of revealed truth and the condemnation of error: of consolation, be cause it shows him, although indirectly, how blessed a thing it is for him to trust God's word and give himself unreservedly to the guidance of divine providence.
