Show The Movement to Rome. The recent trial of the Anglican divine, di-vine, the Rev. Hudson, before the Consistory Con-sistory in St. Paul's cathedral, London, for preaching known Catholic doctrine instead of that of the Church of England, Eng-land, shows clearly that there is a strong movement to Rome among the better informed Episcopalians. The Rev. Hudson was accused of burning as many candles in his church as do the Catholics; of contemplating the building of a chapel in his church patterned pat-terned after the Catholics, with pictures pic-tures and a communion rail, and of using the Catholic mass book at the services. To these charges the reverend rev-erend preacher refused an answer, but to the charge .of having taught Roman Catholic doctrine he replied that the great majority of his congregation were heartily in accord with him and that the charges were brought by half a dozen disgruntled fanatics. The case was taken under advisement by the Consistory and their decision is looked for with some anxiety by the preacher and his flock. |
