The Continuity of Religion

Christian Faith alone can explain adequately and clearly the unity and continuity of history; for, without a belief in God's Providence ruling the world and the affairs of mankind, the meaning of the past will ever elude the mind and heart of man. Robbed of supernatural implications, human progress will never be understood; and it is to the sincere observer of the changeless laws prevailing his Continuity of Religion. Bossuet spoke in the name of the Church, and his voice still sounds across the intervening centuries with the same authority, the same magisterial force, and it has a profound lesson for all who are earnestly seeking the truth of the most sacred thing in life; the meaning of life itself.
