Lex Credendi: A Sequel to Lex Orandi (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Lex Credendi: A Sequel to Lex OrandiBut if its purpose is the perfection and spiritual education of the individual believer, it attains this end only because it is the expression of the collective spiritual life Of the Church at large - which life is normal and authoritative for the individual, and must be appropriated by him before any sort Of healthy personality Of belief can be developed. In no two souls could the words Of the Creed stand for quite the same thing, while to the Reader Of Hearts our divergencies Of conception, veiled from us by the coarse medium Of language, widen out indefinitely and make inward heretics of us all. Even were perfect uniformity of inward belief conceivable, no language, however flexible and subtle, no test, how ever cunningly devised, could possibly prove its existence.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
