Excerpt from Sermons on the Catholic Sacrifice and Subjects Connected With It Lastly, the title of Catholic Sacrifice has been preferred to the usual one of Christian Sacrifice, from a disinclination to put a mark of contrast with Christianity on the divinely ordained sacrifices of the Law, which are so full of Christ.

From ritual killings to subtle acts of self-denial, the practice and rhetoric of sacrifice has a special centrality in modern American literature. In a compelling interdisciplinary investigation, Susan Mizruchi portrays an episode in American cultural history when the literary movement of realism and the fledgling field of sociology both converged in the belief that sacrifice is basic to sociality. This is a book about the fascination that sacrifice held for writers--principally Herman Melville, Henry James, and W.E.B. Du Bois--and also for those who articulated the main tenets of modern social theory, an inquiry that eventually spans historical events such as public lynchings and the political scapegoating of immigrants a century ago. The execution in Billy Budd Sailor, the death of Du Bois's first-born son in The Souls of Black Folk, Henry James's preoccupation with renunciation and scapegoating, and the self-denying working classes of Norris and Stein all illustrate repeated stagings of sacrificial rituals from a Biblical past. For Mizruchi, the peculiar persistence of this aesthetic construct becomes a guide to a rich theological and social-scientific tradition distinctive to the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, and including such influential works as Smith's Lectures on the Religion of the Semites, Frazer's Golden Bough, and Ross's Sin and Society. The major features of sacrifice--its original association with spiritual doubt, its function as a form of spiritual economics that sustained divisions between the fortunate and the bereft, and its role in fixing boundaries between aliens and kin--held strong symbolic value for writers struggling to reconcile faith with rationalism, and communal coherence with capitalist expansion. Mizruchi eloquently demonstrates how the conceptual power of sacrifice made it a key mediator of cultural change, from the decline of sympathy and the significance of "race" in an emerging multicultural society to the revival of maternal self-sacrifice.

Excerpt from The Doctrine of Sacrifice: Deduced From Scriptures; A Series of Sermons I believe that it will be the fairest and best course, not to go through Dr. Candlish's lecture (for how could I hope to do justice to so elaborate a discourse in a short preface but to select some one passage of it, in which he has condensed his complaints against me, - and which, at the same time, touches upon topics of so general a character, that I may make the vindication of myself entirely subordinate to the purpose which I have in view - that of explaining to you the principles, which in other books, and especially in this book, I have been endeavouring to assert. I take the following, because it contains some most true assertions respecting me because it is evidently intended to wound my vanity more severely than any other In the lecture; and be cause it sums up the imputations to which I have already referred, those imputations which, if they are well founded, ought to exclude me from my function as a Clergyman - from the Church of Christ - from the society of all honest men.

Excerpt from The Catholic Christian Instructed in the Sacraments, Sacrifice, Ceremonies, and Observances of the Church And certainly a person that has been but moderately versed in the sacred writings, will be surprised to find the use of incense ranked by the Doctor amongst heathenish rites, since it is so frequently mentioned with honor in God's holy word; as when the psalm ist desires that his prayer may ascend as incense in the sight of God, Psalm cxli. 2, as when the prophet Malachias (as his words are rendered in the Protes tant Bible) 'foretells, chap. I. 11, that in the Church of Christ, incense shall be offered in every place to God's holy name; as when St. John in the Revela tion, chap. V. 8, and chap. Viii. 4, 8m. Represents to us odors and incense burning before God in the heavenly Jerusalem. For, allowing these texts to be figurative, yet we are not to suppose that the sa cred penmen would describe to us the service either of the militant or triumphant Church, by figures bor rowed from heathenish superstition. As for what the Doctor has alleged against the use of incense out of the acts of the martyrs, who chose rather to die than to offer incense to false gods, and out of the law of Theodosius, which confiscates the places in which the Pagans had offered incense to their dei ties, he could not but know, that all this was utterly foreign to his purpose: but if he had a mind to be informed of the antiquity of the ceremonial use of incense amongst the Christians, he might have found it in the most ancient liturgies, and even in the very canons attributed to the Apostles, can. 3.

Excerpt from The Spirit of Sacrifice: And the Life of Sacrifice in the Religious State We can not but think that this view of the religious life is not only a true one, but also one which imparts to it a character eminently weighty, elevated, profound, and calculated to inspire souls consecrated to God by solemn vows with more generous aspirations, holier dispositions. We submit our way of looking at this subject with the utmost respect to the judgment of men of authority and experience, who may find time to read this book.
