the ways parted is II not possible to
find the place where they may meet
again? Just as an illustration of the
thought, il would be well. it seems to
me. that, while utterly unable TO ac-
cept any thought OF supremacy or of
any Petrine episcopate in Rome, or
any Petrine successor in any bishop
Of Rome. il is easy to acknowledge a
primacy because Of the antiquity Of
the Roman See. and because of its
splendid service in the early days in
maintaining the faith and order Of the
Church.
"Or, again, there is no need TO push
our protest against the teaching which
destroys the reality Of the incarnation
and disturbs the one mediatorship OF
the Incarnate Son into a forgetfulness
OF the fact that the Virgin Mother is
the blessed among women TO whom
the angel message gave his title be-
cause God had chosen her TO be the
bringer-forth of His Son"
