To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
And in the same way, and without any stretch of imagination, we may rightly contend that there is " One Faith. " It would be indeed ridiculous to make that assertion if Faith meant what the multitude of Church doctors have tried to make it mean. The Faith of the Church is usually defined as the sum of its creeds, confessions, and formulas. It includes all that the sometimes misguided Fathers of the Church have laid down as necessary to salvation, all the articles of the Athanasian and other cre...eds expressed often in abstruse metaphysical language, which nobody in earth or heaven can understand, and each with its damnatory clause attached. It includes all the decrees of the great councils in which Bishops vied with each other in spinning subtle- ties and fine wire-drawn destinctions, and religiously anathematizing every body who had either the courage or the common sense to differ from them. O, if "the Faith" of the Church means that, or anything like that, it would be the most solemn and monstrous of jokes to declare with Paul that there is " One Faith.
