Inhaltsangabe
This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated.1900 Excerpt: ... CHAPTER IV Ritualistic Sisters of Mercy--Pioneers of the Priests--As Nurses--At the Reformation every Convent was Swept Away--Ritualistic Enclosed Nuns--Protestant Women True Sisters of Mercy--Ladies' Schools prepare Ladies for Convent Life--The Vow of Obedience--"Yielding Herself as Wax"--The Sister in the Confessional--The Confessor's "Curious Questions"--The Vow of Poverty--Dr. Pusey's Grasping Sisterhoods--Convent Authorities and the Sisters' Fortunes--The Vow of Chastity--Clothing a Novice--Superstitious Performances--Bishop Samuel Wilberforce on Vows.

In only too many instances they fill the Confessionals with penitents, whom they have carefully prepared and instructed beforehand. Some Sisterhoods devote themselves to nursing, by which they are often enabled to introduce the Ritualistic priest into the death chamber, instead of a faithful Minister of the Gospel. How great their influence may be in the preparation of wills and in inducing the dying to leave money for "the Church," may be easily imagined. They give alms to the poor, for which, however, they expect, sooner or later, their "pound of flesh" in the souls whom they capture for the priest. I have not a word to say against Sisters of Mercy as individuals. I consider them to be the dupes of a wily priesthood. They are objects of pity. At the time of the Protestant Reformation every Nunnery in the land was for good and valid reasons swept away, and the country for more than three ...
