What seems to me to be the fact . . . is that, having been brought up in the Protestant school of thought, and worked out Catholicity for himself, when everybody thundered at the Tracts, etc., he [John Henry Newman] thought the fault lay in the Church of England, not only in the blundering of individuals, and he did not wait to see her clear herself.1 And then I think that he had, apparently, never thoroughly followed the times between the separation from the Greek Church and the Reformation. Hurrell Froude was doing it, but there has [sic] been so much less research that H. F. takes for granted that Roman Ritual is necessarily Apostolical, without (apparently) having found out about equally Apostolical rites that Rome had crushed – e.g., Gallican, Spanish, not to say our own Uses.2 And now we have all that was like a day-dream to them.
