“We make it our first and foremost study both in the seminary and in England by means of our labourers, to stir up in the minds of Catholics, especially of those preparing here for the Lord's work, a zealous and just indignation against the heretics. This we do by setting before the eyes of our students the exceeding majesty of the Church in the place where we live … while at the same time we picture to them the mournful contrast visible at home … where every jail and dungeon is filled to overflowing, not with thieves and villains, but with Christ's own priests and servants—nay, with our own parents and kinsmen.” (My italics).Google Scholar
