Excerpt from New Testament Churchmanship and the Principles Upon Which It Was Founded

But if the Roman Church has gone too far in one direction, Protestantism, not even excepting the Anglican Communion, has gone too far in the other. The Roman Church gradually lost the Spirit of apostolic truth, while she preserved the letter of formal orthodoxy.
