Opis

Excerpt from Correspondence of John Henry Newman With John Keble: And Others, 1839-1845 Meanwhile others were beginning to have their doubts and difficulties, one of which was how to reconcile subscription to the Thirty-nine Articles with the profession of Catholic principles. To meet this difficulty, which for his own part he did not feel, Newman published in 1841 Tract 90. The storm which this Tract raised took him by surprise, but he weathered it fairly well. If anything, it probably helped him, by distracting his mind from the thought of his own difficulties. As for the Tract, he was quite satisfied with the position which he defended in it, and was content if it escaped episcopal censure. This latter point, trusting to an informal 'understanding,' he thought he had secured by his 'Letter to the Bishop of Oxford.' It was, therefore, with a mind at ease that he took refuge in his books from the turmoil around him and set to work at translating St. Athanasius for the Oxford Library of the Fathers. Now came a succession of blows which fairly broke him. The chief among these were (1) the Jerusalem Bishopric scheme, and the contrast between the calmness with which the Church of England endured this public proclamation of her homogeneity with foreign Protestantism and the outcry against Tract 90; (2) the charges fulminated against Tract 90; and, worst of all, (3) St. Athanasius and the history of the Arian controversy which brought to life again the doubt that had assailed him in the summer and autumn of 1839. Then - foris pugnoe: intus timores - followed the dreary years of spiteful attacks from without and ever-increasing doubts from within, while he lay, as he afterwards described it, on his death-bed as regards his membership with the Anglican communion. In the spring of 1843 he could no longer doubt that he doubted, and he sought counsel from Keble. In the autumn of the same year he completed the process of self-effacement, which he had begun after the condemnation of Tract 90, by resigning St. Mary's. The autumn of 1844 was the dark night of his soul, into which hardly any ray of comfort seems to have penetrated.
