Sacrifice Or Sacrament?: Which Is the Teaching of the Anglican Communion Office? (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Sacrifice or Sacrament?: Which Is the Teaching of the Anglican Communion Office?

The object of these pages is to show the nature of the crisis which lies before our Church in deciding upon the Vestment controversy. Nothing can be more unfair to the Church than that her leaders should represent the question at issue as unim portant, a mere question of clothes and decorations. Vestments mean the Mass, and the Mass means the whole system of Roman theology; and not only of Roman theology, but also, as John Henry Newman and others have found, the system of Roman state craft bound up with it. The Lutheran position has not, and never has had, any attraction for English men. Wittenberg is no half-way house for pilgrims between Canterbury and Rome.
