Book Description
Excerpt from Catholic Emancipation, 1829 to 1929 We enter to-day on the year that will see the centenary of Catholic Emancipation. Some months ago it was thought that this great event might be suitably commemorated by inviting prominent Catholic writers to set down some aspects of the progress which has taken place in the Catholic Church in England since the momentous date April 13, 1829.I welcomed this suggestion, because there are large numbers of Catholics who are almost wholly unacquainted with the many spheres of Catholic development during the last hundred years. There are many more who, while they realise that great progress has been made, have never considered it in its component details. Then there is the large public outside our own body to whom the words Catholic Emancipation convey no precise idea; and who, while they recognise in a vague way that the Catholic Church in England is far more important than it was a hundred years ago, have no conception whatever of the farreaching changes which have taken place. Such is the origin of this very interesting collection of essays. It is evidently neither exhaustive nor exclusive in its survey of the progress which it recounts.
