This title is hardly Catholic—“Reunion with the Church” would be more correct. But we have chosen it as nearer to the idea contained in Dr. Headlam’s book : The Doctrine of the Church and Christian Reunion. When we remember that this book is the result of long study carried on with no less sincerity than acuteness, and that it appeared, programme-like, a few weeks before the Lambeth Conference, we shall attribute to it an importance not belied by the reading of it. Especially in England is the Reunion of Churches discussed. Certainly, in the presence of division, Catholics do not feel the sorrow they ought. There was a time when Christendom was uncertain as to the true Pope. There was no dispute as to principles ; it was not doubted that the Church could have but one head. Yet the mere uncertainty as to the person of that head weighed on Christendom like a nightmare. Universities, kings, bishops knew no rest till the day when perfect unity was regained. To-day, after so many centuries of divisions, this deplorable state of things seems to have become accepted. We vaguely trust to time to bring back to the fold the sheep that have strayed, and all the time others are straying and losing all Christian faith, partly owing to these same divisions. The paralysing of the Catholic Apostolate is the only too evident result.
