On The Constitution Of The Church And State

'Is it true that I am unfriendly to (what is called) Catholic Emancipation ? I reply : No ! The contrary is the truth. There is no inconsistency, however, in approving the thing, and yet having my doubt respecting the manner; in desiring the same end, and yet scrupling the means proposed for its attainment. When you are called in to a consultation, you may perfectly agree with another physician, respecting the existence of the malady and the expedience of its removal, and yet differ respecting the medicines and the method of cure.'
