This 1890 volume presents a historical and spiritual account of Catholicism. The author sums up his attitude toward his subject in the preface: “The consciousness of authority is doubtless human; but conditional on the source being divine.” Sections include “Authority Implied in Religion,” “Authority Artificially Misplaced,” “Divine Authority Intermixed with Human Things,” “Severance of Undivine Elements from Christendom,” and “The Divine in the Human.”
