Excerpt from Catholic Reform: Letters, Fragments, Discourses, by Father Hyacinthe Prie Father
There are two other courses, but only two other courses, open in such cases. One is that each dissentient should found a sect of his own. For educated men for those who take a serious view of the whole position of Christendom at this time - it is probable that there are few to whom such a step will commend itself. Another course would be1 that of complete individual isolation from all ecclesiastical organizations whatever. This may possibly be the ultimate issue to which the world is tending. But there are many reasons for re garding such an issue as far distant. And, therefore, in the meantime, the principle on which the Liberal or Old Catholics profess to act has a paramount claim on all reflecting men, and it may be useful to show that their confession of it is not new or solitary.
The struggle of the Old Catholics against the Ultra montanes is virtually the same which in different degrees is maintained against what may be called the Ultramontanes in each of the churches of Christendom.
