Listening to Saint Michael...

Listening to Saint Michael...

[Nef October] Lately, an Englishman, whom we had here the other day, with the Superior of the minor seminary of Yvetot, far from being distanced from the Church by the bad example of a priest, felt more inclined towards her. After having refused in London a benefice of £30,000, he went to Rome with his wife, to examine at its source the doctrine of the Roman Church, where his conscience told him that truth lay. He visited Saint Peter’s one day, and considered everything with the utmost care; a priest was baptising in a side chapel, he drew near; and as the priest performed the ceremonies in a rather distracted and flippant manner, this good Englishman feared that this conduct would scandalise his wife; He immediately turned her away from this place and took her elsewhere.

...Later he said: the superficial way of celebrating of this Roman priest, rather than causing in me a refusal of his religion, was attracting me more strongly. Surely - I said to myself - the Roman Church is the true Church, since she never ceases to exist with the same unity and majesty, in spite of the misconduct of her members and even of her ministers. It was the Spirit of God who was speaking in him.
