(2) There is the danger of one-sidedness by accommodation to the particular tendencies of a particular age. (3) There is the danger of an arrested development, because ecclesiastical authority acting hastily or unguardedly solidifies the one-sidedness or undue accommodation of a particular moment of the Church into a premature and unjustifiable dogma. There is, I venture to think, for all these dangers one remedy, and one remedy only, and that the most old-fashioned; and yet it is with this that is bound up all that is most true, all that is most free, all that is most spiritual in the Church. The remedy to which I refer is the continual recurrence to the original pattern, the continual appeal to antiquity and Scripture. Such an appeal limits the dogmatic authority and in a sense the whole authority of the Church. But it is by the maintenance of this appeal, and only so, that you can safeguard what is, after all, the most important thing, that is, the real power of the Church to be true to its own best spirit, to reassert the original teaching in all its freedom and largeness of application, without being trammelled and contracted by the errors and narrownesses of particular periods.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7911</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blushing is the colour of virtue. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4381]]></link><description><![CDATA[Blushing is the colour of virtue.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3012]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3012</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The two most common elements in the universe are hydrogen and stupidity.
