Divisive is not a pejorative term but a descriptive one although it has acquired the status of a boo word in the minds of those who rejoice in a bogus show of unity.<br /><br />He never feared to differ from others, whether it was the bulk of his Anglican co-religionists early on , or the Extreme Ultramontanists led by his fellow converts Manning and Faber after he had changed his allegiance. Even though they suspected his orthodoxy, and looked with suspicion on his idea of the development of doctrine and his letter to the Duke of Norfolk, he stuck to his guns.<br /><br />Had he not been divisive he would have counted for nothing.Independentnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-69033598918679761922009-08-04T21:31:19.713+01:002009-08-04T21:31:19.713+01:00Ho hum!Ho hum!Jackie Parkes MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16693505024823229152noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31069882.post-73435325642265317292009-08-04T20:18:46.384+01:002009-08-04T20:18:46.384+01:00when does the Tablet ever get anything right?
I h...when does the Tablet ever get anything right?<br /><br />I have found Cardinal Newman an amazing intercessor for parking spots, he has never let me down. The children even remind me when I can't find a parking spot to ask for his intercession.Elizabethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06121562422631804938noreply@blogger.com
