Description

Medievalism: A Reply To Cardinal Mercier is a book written by George Tyrrell in 1908. The book is a response to Cardinal Mercier's criticism of the medieval spirit in modern Catholicism. Tyrrell argues that the medieval spirit is essential to Catholicism and that it should not be abandoned in favor of modernism. He also defends the use of symbols, rituals, and liturgy in Catholicism, which he believes are necessary for the spiritual life of the faithful. The book is a thought-provoking analysis of the tensions between tradition and modernity in the Catholic Church, and it continues to be relevant to contemporary debates about the role of tradition in religious practice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
