Francis John Jayne, D.D., Bishop of Chester 1889-1919 -- Index. -- From chapter V: `The Worshipping and Adoration of Images is not a proper development from anything taught or sanctioned by Christ or His Apostles. On the contrary, it is plainly "repugnant to the Word of God" (Article XXII.). In the early days of the Church nothing more distinctively marked off Christianity from paganism than that Christian people were wont to pray to God direct, with a clear apprehension of His omnipresence and of His accessibility at all times and in all places.' (p. 186) -- From chapter VI: `The doctrine of the Immaculate Conception of the Virgin Mary is a daring falsehood, unworthy of the pure and holy woman in whose behalf it has been put forth, and in itself--even if true--raising an idle and useless question. Its only purpose is to furnish some show of the miraculous which will prepare those who belong to the Roman Communion to receive and to practise without question those devotional extravagances and superstitions.' (p. 236 f.).
