Excerpt from The "Damnatory Clauses" Of the Athanasian Creed: Rationally Explained in a Letter to the Right Hon. W. E. Gladstone, M. P
In both the Roman and Anglican Churches, there fore, the Athanasian Creed holds at present an authori tative and a dogmatic position. In the Church of Rome the use of the Creed is binding on the clergy with far greater stringency than it is on' ours, but the use of it is not imperative on the laity at all.* In both Churches it is a dogmatic standard of appeal for clergy and laity on the questions of which it treats; but it is evident that it would lose its dogmatic position in the Church of England if any of the chief proposals lately made respecting it should be carried into effect.
