ryGLIsH CATHOLICISM.

nEn
tic;no the numDcr OF new churches, schools,
rnonastcrlcs, and converts which the Catholics
hare built. 4 dozen years or SO ago they had
comnaratiyc1y few places OF worship In En-
c1and. aud still fewer places OF education. Now,
IN where you will, you soon come into contact
nth unmistakab1e signs OF their progress. II
rour attention is attracted in any town by
,hnnh OF more than ordinary beauty the
ch,nccs are that you will find it has been erected
hz the Roman Catholics. The social ban which
onoc attached to members OF that Church has
disappeared as entirely as their political dish
h1ties, 4 Protestant does not Object 10 his
son marrying Roman Catholic lady, nor does
a man lose his office or appointment, or suffer
IN auy way in his career, by Joining the konish
fbnnh. I remember the time when it WAS all
rary different More than one personal friend
Of nv own has had his prospects completely
ruined By embracing the Catholic religion. The
chance which has taken place in the tone OF
nub1Ic feeling, especially among the supper
c1ssses. onthis subject, would not be credited
,,y any man who knew England twelve or fifteen
Years ago and has never visited it since
# struck me that many of your readers would
he interested to learn what are tho opinions
