The text argues that the Roman Church is not inherently political but urges firm action when justice allows. It contends that true justice is unattainable in religious affairs while secular governments attempt to regulate religious zeal and voices that drive religious activity.
The article reports on Convocation debates over Home Episcopate expansion, bishop incomes and funding, and possible new sees. It covers reactions to clerical salaries, deans, and cathedral property, plus a cautious move toward public opinion on ritual reforms and Athanasian Creed clarifications. It notes Catholic conversions from Ritualist congregations and Anglican clergy in various regions.
