30 CIWRCIl UNITY 



with at least eight millions in the United 

 States, has been growing enormously by- 

 natural increase and immigration. It also 

 maintains the Four Principles, but in con- 

 nection with even more serious inconsis- 

 tencies. To Holy Scripture it has added, 

 not only apostolic tradition, but a papal 

 infallibility in interpreting both Scripture 

 and tradition. To the Nicene Creed it has 

 added not only the Filioque, by winch it 

 excommunicated all Eastern Christendom, 

 but the dogmas of Trent, by which it ex- 

 communicated the whole Protestant body. 

 To the two sacraments it has added not 

 only the five other church sacraments not 

 instituted by Christ, but the doctrine of 

 transubstantiation, the denial of the cup, 

 masses for souls in purgatory, the invoca- 

 tion of saints, the worship of relics, and a 

 Mariolatry crowned with the dogma of the 

 immaculate conception. And to the his- 

 toric episcopate it has added not merely 

 the Roman primacy, but the claims of a 

 universal bishop and vicar of Christ on 

 earth. It is plain, that the discord of 

 Anglican with Greek and Latin Christi- 

 anity is far greater than the concord.
