Newman on Lent Quotes

“Meanwhile, the religious world thinks little whither its opinions are leading, and it will not discover that it is adoring a mere abstract name or a vague creation of the mind for the ever-living Son till the defection of its members from the Faith startle it and teach it that the so-called religion of the heart, without orthodoxy of doctrine, is but the warmth of a corpse: real for a time, but sure to fail.”
― John Henry Newman, Newman on Lent
