Nunnery Life in the Church of England by Sister Mary Agnes, O.S.B. Protestant Truth Society, 31 Cannon Street, London, E.C.4. Price 6d.
One could scarcely believe that such a condition of things existed in the Church of England as revealed in this pamphlet. The authoress had seventeen years of experience of nunnery life in the Church of England. “Others have exposed” she says, “conventual life as it exists in the Roman Catholic Church; but still the people of England can scarcely be alive to the fearfully rapid increase in the number of such convents or of the degrading and un-English and un-Christian nature of the life of a nun therein. It is not my lot to expose Roman Catholic convents; the discoveries I have made have been made in connection with the Church of England, which, alas, through the fearful growth of Ritualism, is becoming a recruiting ground for Rome. My opinion may not be worth much, but I hold the strong conviction that unless Protestants make a stir, and unless the bishops of the Church set the example, England, at no very distant period, will be Romanized.”
