Excerpt from The Problem of Reunion: Discussed Historically in Seven Essays
Other reunions also are being discussed as a preliminary to the great one which is ultimately to eventuate. In these, as Catholics, We have less interest, since we feel that they do not concern us. Yet indirectly they do concern us, since they profess to be steps toward that World - wide reunion which shall unite all Christians in one fold. To the cause of Christ, which for us means the Catholic cause, they will either be beneficial or harmful. In either case they should interest us, and to discuss them with a View either to help or to hinder, certainly falls within our province. As their aim is admittedly to help, so also should ours be, if this be possible. For however great our differences may be, in purpose, at any rate, We are united. We all of us Want to believe as Christ would have us believe, and to worship and do as He would bid us.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. As a global conflict, World War I upended the traditional societal balance and led to suffering on a scale unseen before. The chaos and widespread devastation that ensued led people everywhere to grapple with the question of faith â" some found their beliefs strengthened, while others abandoned them altogether. This book examines this struggle for faith during World War I. The author delves into the arguments against faith that abounded in the first half of the 20th century, including the rise of secularism, rationalist propaganda, and the popularity of alternative religious practices. The book argues that, although the pre-war church was in a weakened state due to sectarianism and apathy, the war could have been a catalyst for renewed belief. However, this opportunity was missed, and the Church failed to rise to the challenge. Instead, the Church chose a path of silence, ignoring the need for clear guidance and dogma in a time of immense suffering. This silence allowed doubts to fester in the hearts and minds of those seeking solace and meaning amid the horrors of war. This book is a thought-provoking analysis of how religious faith is challenged and reshaped in the face of tremendous adversity. The insights gained from this historical perspective will undoubtedly resonate with readers today as they continue to ponder the significance of faith in the face of adversity and suffering.
