F. S. Rising: "Are There Romanizing Germs in the Prayer Book?" (2ff.)

Mr. Rising began his talk by introducing the religion of Romanism. He explained that there are two main features of this religion - propitiatory sacrifice and dual salvation (synergism, God and man). These two features are like "seeds" that can bear fruit if allowed to grow naturally. However, Mr. Rising also mentioned three negative consequences of these features - ecclesiological authoritarianism, priestly potentates, and laity without assurance of Christ's merits. He promised to expand on these later. After this, Mr. Rising proceeded to give a history lesson, starting from the Tudor period. He paused at Mary 1 and will continue from there later.
