To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Our own Prayer Book, as we have seen, is most full and explicit on this point; and, while leaving individual members of her Communion quite free to use or to neglect this means of grace, she pro- vides for every one who seeks it, what the whole Catholic Church has ever provided, a Sacrament by which we may receive the Absolution and Re- mission of our sins. In this she is at one with the Roman and Eastern Churches. She differs from them, however, in refusing to make Confession and Absolution co...mpulsory. In this I believe she is most wise; for compulsory Confession is attended by two serious dangers — that it may lead to sacrilegious Confession, to the keeping back of the truth about our sins, where persons are not really penitent; or even if the sins be sincerely confessed, that where there is no desire for Confession, the penitence may be so formal and perfunctory as to be wanting in such true sorrow for sin as is a necessary condition for forgiveness. In conclusion let us briefly consider the effects of Absolution upon the penitent soul.
