DOWNLOAD EBOOK →Excerpt from Exposition of the Epistle of Saint Paul to the Romans: According to the Analogy of the Catholic Faith IT may occasion surprise, that a parish priest, who, for the press ure of the daily and incessant duties of his office, has no time left for study, and scarce any for reflection, should yet have taken in hand to prepare a commentary upon a writing so hard to under stand and explain as the Epistle to the Romans: and it may seem yet more strange that he should have the boldness to submit it to public inspection. But some excuse may be found in the object had in view. For this does not profess to be a critical or learned work, and it was not written for scholars. It is but an expression of the thoughts which a man may carry about with him as a part of his burden; which sometimes burn within him, and which he would impart to others as if for his own relief. And again, it is the result of the effort to make for himself what he wanted, and what no one else has given him thus far. Whosoever will study the word of god must, sooner or later, come to this Epistle; and whosoever comes to it must feel how very hard it is to comprehend; and the writer has not, in the course of his own reading, found any commentary on it which met those difficulties precisely as they have presented themselves to his mind, and which, at the same time, has aimed at harmonizing the words of the Apostle with the Creeds and System of the Catholic Church. The chief impediments in the way of a right understanding of this Epistle are not found in the sacred text. They block the path while yet we approach. There are certain popular explana tions of its meaning, which have not only attained to notoriety, but are thoughtlessly accepted, of vast numbers of persons, as correct. By these, or by some one of them, the mind may become pre occupied until it rests undoubtingly in them as true renderings of the Apostolic thought.
