Synopsis
Excerpt from A Vindication of Catholic Morality, or a Refutation of the Charges Brought Against It by Sismondi, in His "History of the Italian Republics During the Middle Ages"
But the discussion, upon which we are about to enter, is not only one of immense importance, one of paramount duty, it involves also questions of the high est and most delightful interest at the present moment. It is now three hundred years since the Catholic Re ligian was banished from this kingdom, as it was from many other kingdoms ofeurope: and what has been theresult? I do not askwhat has been themoral result upon the religious and social condition of men that inquiry would lead me into a field far too wide forus to traverse at present;.butwhathasbeenthe result astothe convictionofmen? Is it clearly ata blished, that the Catholic Religion is an antiquated system of superstition or delusion, or has that faith obtained a triumph? Was the Reformation an effort of a trulyenlightened mind, to throw ofl'a massor corruption, with which the beauty and simplicity of the Christian Church had been defiled, or has it been proved to have been a guilty act of rebellion, the oil' spring of an ignorant and unstable judgment, the disco my of which has placed the claims of Catholicism in a more prominent and secure position than they ever occupied before These are interesting and importantsmroa's rnnracs.
