Christianity on a basis merely rationalistic. I by no means assert the rightful authority of simple reason over the higher instincts of the soul (for this would be to subordinate the conscience, which is the interpreter of the inner life, to the understanding, which is a co-ordinate power), but I am anxious to establish the actual identity of the highest results of reason and conscience. AC hristianity truly Catholic must offend neither the reason nor the conscience, but, whilst acknowledging the Divinity that dwells within us, do no violence to that natural reason which forms the essential law of our outward life.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book examines the transition undergone by Christianity in the nineteenth century, in which popular religious beliefs increasingly abandoned superstition in favor of rationalism. The author traces this transformation, focusing on the influence of philosophical skepticism on the interpretation of scripture and the rejection of traditional dogma. The book highlights the tension between the Church's attempts to maintain authority and the growing demand for intellectual freedom in religious matters. It explores the challenges to the Church's doctrines and practices posed by scientific and social changes, and considers the emergence of a more personal and ethical understanding of Christianity. The book argues that this transition was a necessary stage in the evolution of Christianity, allowing it to adapt to the modern world while preserving its core principles.
