But they are not fatal to Catholicism, whose attitude to history
is made utterly different by the doctrine of the perpetual
infallibility of the Church 305

The Catholic Church teaches us to believe the Bible for her sake,
not her for the Bible's 305

And even though her dogmas may have existed in some form
elsewhere, they become new _revelations_ to us, by her
supernatural selection of them 306

The Church is a living organism, for ever selecting and
assimilating fresh nutriment 307

Even from amongst the wisdom of her bitterest enemies 309

All false revelations, in so far as they have professed to be
infallible, are, from the Catholic standpoint, abortive
Catholicisms 311

Catholicism has succeeded in the same attempt in which they
have failed 313
