Breaking with the Past; Or, Catholic Principles Abandoned at the Reformation by Francis Aidan Gasquet is a series of sermons from 1913 that explores the author's view on the Reformation. The Abbot of the English Benedictines makes the case that the English Reformation intentionally left behind important Catholic ideas, causing a split between the English Church and the Roman Catholic Church. The book looks at the time period, and discusses what happened during this event, highlighting the changes to the Pope's authority, the meaning of Mass, the role of priests, and how the Church was set up by law. He insists that the Reformation broke away from Catholic traditions, adopting different ideas from other religious leaders, as he points out that these changes had lasting effects on Christian beliefs, leading to a break in Christian unity that started with this historical disagreement. The purpose of the sermons is to encourage reflection on the importance of understanding these major shifts in religious belief and practice.
