204 CARDINAL NEWMAN.
pious opinion "not unwelcome or difficult to piety" (though I should have supposed that a very great deal which it is not unwelcome to pious people to believe is yet very difficult for them to believe on what amounts to hardly any evidence at all), but that he regards the Assumption of her body to heaven as a fact sufficiently attested by " the consent of the whole Catholic world, and the revelations made to holy souls. " How does " the consent of the whole Catholi...c world " to a tradition of which we cannot in the least trace the origin, hidden as it is in the obscure depths of the first century, justify us in accepting as historic fact that of which there is absolutely not a morsel of historic evidence ? Does the consent of the whole heroic age of Greece guarantee the historic truth of the labours of Hercules ? or the consent of the whole mediaeval age of Europe prove the historic truth of the existence of fairies ? And have we any reason to suppose that the assent of the Church of one century to belief in a fact which could only have had any legiti- mate attestation in another century, is a good ground for accepting that fact?
