Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Narrative of Events Connected With the Publication of the Tracts for the Times: With Reflections on Existing Tendencies to Romanism, and on the Present Duties and Prospects of Members of the Church
With regard to the other objection - the alleged impossibility of separating Church principles, in the public apprehension, from Romanizing tendencies, I must admit that it may be diffi cult to persuade those who are opposed to Church principles, that they do not lead to Romanism; but it does not seem that there would be so much difficulty in setting the public right on a mere question of fact, i. E. Whether such and such men are in reality favourable to Romanism - whether they intend to promote its interests - whether they actually receive its tenets or no.
I think it may be very possible to prevent mistakes on such a question from becoming prevalent, or, at least, per manent. All that seems necessary in this case is, a sufficient degree of openness.
We only want an explicit statement of men's views; plain and open speaking; avowals of what is our actual belief; praise where we think it due, and censure where any (be their merits in some respects ever so great) have deserved reproofs.
