Tyrrell, George. Medievalism: a reply to Cardinal Mercier. *$1.25. Longmans.
W8–175.
“Last Lent Cardinal Mercier issued a Pastoral to the diocese of Malines in which he condemned the errors of modernism; it was a document of no great ability, and its interest for English readers lay mainly in the fact that it branded Father Tyrrell as a typical Modernist. Father Tyrrell has not unnaturally taken up the gauntlet, and he now gives Cardinal Mercier his opinion of him, of the Roman church, and of the Modernist movement, with great freedom and at considerable length.”—Sat. R.

“We think that this reply would have gained in power had it been more restrained, and had the author been content to explain and defend his own position without denouncing the government and morality of Rome, or holding up to scorn the weaker paragraphs of the Cardinal’s pastoral.”

“In more than one respect ‘Medievalism’ may be compared to Newman’s ‘Apologia’; in its occasion, its fine literary form, and its crushing polemic it recalls that famous work.”
