To the Editor of the Globe:
MINNEAPOLIS, May 21st.-No one can so
harm a cause as an unwise friend. In to-
days Pioneer Fress there appears an editorial
ostensibly directed against Catholics, but,
in reality calculated to do much injury to
the Professionalism it processes to uphold.
l hope the editor is acquainted with the man
he employed to write it, and knows well his
real sentiments, for though my own opinion
is that said writer erred through ignorance
and excess of zeal, many other Protestants
of this city are firmly persuaded that he must
| be papist in disguise. The arguments ad-
vanced by him to prove the falsity of the
Catholic church are SO ridiculous, and SO
easily overthrown, that it does look as if they
were set down to afford the assailed an OPP
portunity of showing off as yictors. 1 don't
believe it makes men whit better to read
| or write attacks on the religion of their
| neighbors, but when Protestant (if u is
Protestant) undertakes to break lance
against Romanism, he ought at least to strike
| at vulnerable part. sThe Catholic religion,
though very good nursing mother for the
nations, is now grown old and like worn
garment ought to be cast ASIDE" Did any
one ever hear such childish argument?
man ought to change his religion just as he
changes hat or a coat. How Catholics will
laugh at this, and triumphantly assert that
we Protestants have nothing better to bring
against their creed. '.Behold,'' they will
say, show to support Protestanti.m your
champions are driven to rake up oil stories
a thousand times proved false. Plus TX
never issued bull against freedom of the
press or the people. He condemned the
teachings of communists and such like
characters, whose doctrines every supporter
of true liberty e1ecrates.
And, Mr.. Editor, what shall we answer?
know well the Catholic papers will gladly
avail themselves of this chance to let in an
other blow, and therefore, on the part of a
large circle of friends hasten to deny that
the Pioneer man has any right whatever to
speak for the religion he pretends to support.
Yours, A PROTESTANT.
