Excerpt from Holy Wisdom: Or Directions for the Prayer of Contemplation, Extracted Out of More Than Forty Treatises

If even St. Paul's own words, notwithstanding the inspiration under which he wrote, were wrested to destruction, no wonder that the words of faithful and wise theologians and martyrs were sometimes misinterpreted and wrenched into a defence of heresy. Father Baker, I have said, lived and wrote just before Quietism was condemned. For it was in the year 1687 that Pope Innocent XI. Censured and pronounced sentence against the sixty-eight propositions of Molinos and in 1699 Innocent XII. Condemned the semi-quietism of Madame Guyon and the illustrious Fenelon. Father Baker had already completed his labours, having gone to his reward in 1641, and Father Cressy in 167 4.
