A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

If we would understand why the Middle A ges which were in the full sense of the term the A ges of Faith saw the rise and rapid spread of many strange and dangerous heresies, we must look back to the times which immediately followed upon the inrushing of the barbarian peoples of the North. The countless bands of missionaries sent forth by Rome at intervals to bear the good tidings of salvation to these half-savage hordes to soften their hard hearts, and to teach them to harden their hands by a labour which was sanctified by prayer the missionaries soon saw the proud heads of these untamed children of the mountain and forest bow meekly at the baptismal font to receive the waters of regeneration. However, if the young nations of Europe put on the yoke of Christ right gladly, they rebelled at intervals against its constant chafing upon the shoulders which had known no other burden than battleaxe and spear. A gain and again the loud call to the cruel sports of their former life, to war and barbarous massacre, rang in the ears of these new converts who had but now been listening to the words of peace, to the hard sayings of Christian asceticism. A gainst their own consciences and the words of Christ sheralds they fared forth to battle and how could men whose passion for slaying was aroused curb the other passions of their hearts? Of old the Inspired Word was written :C harity covereth a multitude of sins. The penitent warrior who came trembling to the Church, to be shriven from his sins, was bidden to put aside for God spoor some of the spoil he had taken.
