Cure for Sodomy” was deemed to be sufficiently inflammatory that the police escorting the National Pilgrimage of Our Lady of Walsingham in 2004 required that it be taken down (fig. 9).1 Disgust at this official line can be found, as a component of a substantial campaign of vilification of the shrine, on the website of the European Institute of Protestant Studies (EIPS) which is housed in the Paisley Jubilee Complex of the Martyrs‟ Memorial Free Presbyterian Church in Belfast. Its President is Ian Paisley, until recently First Minister of Northern Ireland, founder and moderator of the Free Presbyterian Church in Belfast and possessor of an Honorary Doctorate from the evangelical Bob Jones University in Greenville, South Carolina. The purpose of the institute is to “expound the Bible and expose the Papacy” and it offers courses which include “showing Roman Catholics the way to Christ,” “False doctrines of Roman Catholicism,” and “The Church of Rome and Politics (an exposure of the Vatican conspiracy to overthrow civil government from the twelfth century to the present, with particular emphasis on the history of Papal assaults against Britain and Rome's contemporary involvement in the European Union).”2 [Fig.

" We must not stint Our necessary ac'ions, in the fear To cope malicious censurers : which ever, As ravenous fishes, do a vessel follow That is new trimm'd." King Henry VIII. LONDON MURRAY AND CO., 13, PATERNOSTER ROW. 1864. — PREFACE. The following pages contain notes of a visit paid to Claydon in the summer of 1863. Books of travel are much written now-a-days, if not much read ; and as we are often told that our own country supplies the widest and most necessitous mission-field without crossing the ocean in search of heathens who need converting, so it not unfrequently happens that as much instruction may he gained by the investigation of home scenes as by researches in foreign climes. At all events, to most Englishmen the monastic system is as much a terra incog- nita as the source of the Nile, or the interior of the Japanese Empire ; and a man who has spent Three Months in a Monastery, though he have naught to relate of perilous encounters and hair-Breadth escapes—though he can grace his narrative with none of the stirring incidents of travel and though he performed his journey most prosaically by an ordinary English railway—may not unfairly claim some of the respect paid to the visitor of a distant land. The traveller who "does" the Pyramids finds himself surrounded by monuments of the Pharaohs and the Ptolemys ; but the inmate of a monastery sees before him daily and hourly a living panorama of the times of St.

    Book Reviews ROME AND CANTERBURY : A BIBLICAL AND FREE CATHOLICISM. By Emmanuel A mand de Mendieta. (Herbert] enkins.) 256 pp. 25s. The recent appointment of an ex-Roman Catholic priest, a monk of the Order of St. Benedict, to a residentiary Canonry of Winchester Cathedral, caused a mild sensation. This book is the story, by Emmanuel Amand de Mendieta himself, of the events which made this unusual appointment possible. He vigorously disclaims any thought of writing an anti-Roman pamphlet, but it is not easy to justify one's own action without putting the other party in the wrong. The Dean of King's College, Cambridge, who writes a Foreword, confesses that in some respects he sees the Church of Rome in a more favourable light, and the Church of England in a less favourable light, than the author. The book is in two parts, the first biographical and the second theological. Dr. de Mendieta, as a boy, was magnetically attracted by the Abbey of Maredsous, near his home in Belgium, and its dramatic liturgical services. He confesses this attraction to have been partly resthetic. He would often bicycle the twelve miles to linger under the spell of the Abbey, and he manages to convey to us something of the thrill when eventually he entered the Abbey, was ordained to the priesthood, and took the vows of the Benedictine Order (without, as he says, realizing their full gravity in a concrete way). But his dreams of the monastic life were not fulfilled. He and the Abbot seem to have taken a mutual dislike to one another.
