The Abiding Presence - Of the Holy Ghost in the Soul #225984

In English-speaking countries the Church has been at a disadvantage in the way in which she has had to expound her doctrine, for she has been forced for many years'to limit her attention just to those parts of her teaching wherein the Protestant bodies parted company from her. Without any desire to stir up barren controversy, she has naturally in self-defence been at pains most precisely to define those portions of her gospel most likely to be misunderstood. This has re sulted, unfortunately, in her leaving in the background the other mysteries of faith, often richer in themselves, more helpful to her children. Now, however, that she is'be coming more able to realize herself to the modern world, an opportunity opens for ex; plaining hidden doctrines, of which the value to the Catholic in the development of his inner life is considerable.
