But, the ACs have yet to find a point out a single facutal inaccuracy in the book. And the facts support Reed's inescapable conclusion. In fact, Reed pulls his punches a bit of the secondary thesis, that is that ACism appealed to the lavender and old lace crowd as well as rebells.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692250288602207814.post-44136648694143533752008-11-03T14:33:00.000-08:002008-11-03T14:33:00.000-08:00Would that book be "Glorious Battle: The Cultural ...Would that book be "Glorious Battle: The Cultural Politics of Victorian Anglo-Catholicism?" I have heard of it but never read the same. I am glad to know that someone else shares my opinion in the matter. What bothers me is that they can't get over it or outgrow it or whatever. . . . <BR/><BR/>For the good of the Continuum and for souls still to be saved one would hope that learning to do "the right thing for the right reason" would trump overgrown little boy pique. But a century after the fact it doesn't seem to have done so.

But when I read something like the canon of the Ordo Romano Primus and realize that the theology of our '28 American canon is exactly the same only ours is more beautifully written and with much less in the way of non-essential matter, I wonder where the vaunted Anglican intelligence and taste have flown.<BR/><BR/>There is something extremely satisfying in knowing that our faith is so much more primitive than theres and when done according to the rubrics of 1559 and 1662, so much more elegant and beautiful.Canon Tallishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05182884929479435751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2692250288602207814.post-4927135152895487122008-10-31T22:20:00.000-07:002008-10-31T22:20:00.000-07:00A hale and hardy, "Amen."A hale and hardy, "Amen."Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
