| "This kind of individual certainty as to God's tastes and opinions cannot, however, be made the basis of any institution. That has always been the difficulty with which Protestantism has had to contend: a new prophet could maintain that his revelation was more authentic than those of his predecessors, and there was nothing in the general outlook of Protestantism to show that this claim was invalid. Consequently Protestantism split into innumberable sects, which weakened one another; and there is a reason to suppose that a hundred yeras hence Catholicism will be the only effective representation of the Christian faith."
