This relieves the formula of the principal objections urged against it. The ideas formulated are the first principles in science with which all philosophy must commence, but the formulation, instead of being at the beginning, does not always appear even at its conclusion. The explanations we have offered show that there is no discrepancy between its assertion and the philosophy of St. Thomas. Indeed, the formula in substance is the common doctrine of all great Catholic theologians in all ages of the church, and may be seen to be so if we will only take the pains to understand them and ourselves. The objection, that the doctrine that we have intuition of most perfect being assumes that we have the intuitive vision of God even in this life, cannot stand, because that vision is vision of God as he is in himself, and this asserts only intuition of him as idea, which we even know not by intuition is God. The result of our discussion is to show that the sounder and better philosophy of our day is in reality nothing but the philosophy of St. Anselm and St. Thomas, and which in substance has been always, and still is, taught with more or less clearness and depth in all our Catholic schools. ------ Original The Hidden Crucifixion. "And they crucified him there." Say not 'twas on dread Calvary's mountain top, And in the broad and glaring light Of noonday sun; With hooting rabble crowded 'round To show The Holy One despite. No, no! But in this guilty breast, alone-- God of my love, how could I dare!-- The deed was done. Ye angels, look upon this heart; Ye know I crucified him there! ------ {160} Impressions Of Spain.
