Science and the Gospel, Or the Church and the Nations: A Series of Essays on Great Catholic Questions (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Science and the Gospel, or the Church and the Nations: A Series of Essays on Great Catholic Questions

But although surely illusive enough in that first stage of its existence, it has nevertheless continued from time to time to reappear, and promises as little as ever to disappear finally with its disturbing influence from before the mental vision of mankind. Men have hitherto sought the embodiment of it vainly as Arthur's Knights of the Round Table pursued their quest for the Holy Graal; yet a vision of the sacred cup was vouch safed to Sir Galahad: and so purer and more elevated spirits of more than one section of the Church have had an intuition of the Church Catholic, so as to realize its existence and feel that it is something more than an idea - nay, as a spiritual fact waiting for its revelation.
