PreachingatFarmStreetChurch, Mayfair,London,recently,FatherF. Woodlock,S.J.,spokeoftheimminent crisisintheAnglicanChurch,anddiscussedtheprobabilityofitscausing numeroussecessionstoRome. Hequotedauthoritativestatements fromtheAnglo-Catholicorgans,the "ChurchTimes"and"Theology,in whichitwasdefinitelystatedthat Anglo-Catholicsmustbepreparedto secedefromtheEstablishedChurchif Modernismcontinuedtoenjoyunfet teredfreedomtopreachitsdoctrines fromAnglicanpulpitsandifthe ChurchshouldcompromiseCatholic principlesinthematterofreunion withNonconformistbodies.
