Summary "Breaking with the Past; Or, Catholic Principles Abandoned at the Reformation" by Francis Aidan Gasquet is a collection of sermons delivered at St. Patrick's Cathedral, New York, during the Advent season of 1913. This work, crafted in the early 20th century, serves as a historical reflection discussing the pivotal changes in Catholic doctrine and practice during the Reformation. The author, an Abbot of the English Benedictines, argues that key Catholic principles were deliberately abandoned during this tumultuous period, presenting a narrative that highlights the separation of the English Church from the Roman Catholic Church. In this book, Gasquet outlines the historical context and consequences of the English Reformation, focusing on key themes such as the authority of the Pope, the significance of the Mass, the nature of the priesthood, and the establishment of the Church by law. He contends that the English Reformation marked a fracture in the continuity of Catholic beliefs, leading to the rejection of traditional doctrines in favor of Lutheran and Calvinistic influences. Through thorough examination and evidence, Gasquet emphasizes the enduring impact of these changes on the Christian faith in England and beyond, arguing that the disintegration of Christian unity has its roots in this historical schism. The sermons aim to invoke reflection on the importance of recognizing these pivotal shifts in religious belief and practice. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
