Life of Father Hecker

CHAPTER of the present biography
11/23

Peter, Catholicism; Paul, Protestantism; John, what is to be.

The statement struck me and responded to my own dim intuitions.

Catholicism is solidarity; Protestantism is individuality.

What we want, and are tending to, is what shall unite them both, as John's spirit does--and that in each individual.

We want neither the authority of History nor of the Individual; neither Infallibility nor Reason by itself but both combined in Life.
