Description
Excerpt from Philomythus, an Antidote Against Credulity: A Discussion of Cardinal Newman''s Essay
The great need of the coming age appears to be a faith that shall be at once deep, honest, morally helpful, not tremulous, and not foolish. Faith in an indisputable God must be detached from faith about disputable incidents. We must learn to distinguish between knowledge of material facts, and confidence in spiritual realities and to combine a resolute trust in Righteousness with aresolute distrust in all history (whether of things animate or inanimate) that is not commended to us by appropriate evidence.
