Questions for Protcstants.

A Catholic who has been frequently
asked to answer questions and argu-
ments against the Catholic church
writes for questions that he may pro-
pose to Protestants regarding their re-
ligion, says Donahoe's Magazine.
Here are some queries, and they will
themselves suggest many others to the
reader:
Do you believe that Jesus Christ is
the Son of God? Do you believe that
He spoke the truth? Do you believe
He meant what he said when He said
to an apostle, "Thou art Peter, and
upon this rock 1 will build My
church?" Did He not expressly indi-
cate one church, and only one? Where
today is that one church? Which Of
the numberless sects of Professionalism
can claim the title? In what do Prot
estants agree? What is your belief?
A Catholic knows the articles as well
as the grounds Of his faith. Can
Protestant say the same? Catholics
are quite contented with their religion
and do not seek arguments to satisfy
doubts. Why, on the other hand. are
Protestants continually disputing
about religion? Is not the reason in
this, that they are uneasy, unsatisfied
in their longings after truth? Christ
promised, "You shall know the truth,
and the truth shall make you free"
and while Catholics, depending entire
ly and without fear upon the word Of
Christ, are free from anxiety in mat
ters Of religion, Protestants, who take
only what portion Of His word pleases
themselves, are always restless.
If you say the Catholic church today
is not the same as the early Christian
church, then what church is? Some
church must be, because Christ prom
ised His church should always endure;
that "the gates Of hell shall not pre-
vail against" and that He will be
with it all days, even to the consum-
nation Of the world" All the others
outside the Catholic church that claim
to be the church Of Christ did not
come into existence until 1900 years
or more after His death. The Catholic
church has all the links Of an unbrok-
en- chain up to the apostles themselves.
If the Catholic church failed in her
mission or lost her position as the
church Of Christ, what church for
1,5OO years took her place? What be-
came Of the promises Of Christ? What
means Of salvation were placed before
the people for 1900 years, and how?
Where do you get the Bible? Is it
not from the Catholic church that pre-
served it through all the centuries and
through the Catholic church? If every
of barbarism and through what you
call the Ozark Ages?" How do you
know anything Of the Bible during the
1900 years before Luther, except
through the Catholic church. If every
one must read the Bible to know re-
ligion and be saved, what Of those who
The Irish standard., 1901-04-27

cannot read in all parts Of the world? !?
What of those who could not afford to
own Bible in the days antecedent to
printing, when a house was cheaper
than a book? Where in the Bible do
you read that reading the Bible is the
way to heaven? Where do you read
that your own private Interpretation
is the rule of faith? Do you not rath-
er read that there arc many things
hard to understand which the unwary
turn to their own destruction? Where
in the Bible do you read that the first
day of the week (Sunday) shall be the
day of rest instead Of the seventh
Saturday. which the Bible explicitly
appointed for the Sabbath? And If you
observe Sunday, is it not wholly on
the practice and authority of the Cath
olic church that brought about and
decreed this observance?
And what do you know about the
Catholic church? Did you ever try to
learn just what she believes and teach
es? Would you feel justified to attack
any other society or organization, any
Individual or body Of men, any state
or nation, with so little knowledge.
with scarcely any fund of information
but prejudice?
Was it worth while for Christ to
have come on earth, to have preached
His doctrines, to have spent His time
and labor in instructing and forming
His apostles, to have given them a
commission to preach (not to write,
you notice. If one religion is as good
as another? Does it not belong to
Jesus Christ, as God, to decide what
we must believe as well as do to save
our souls? And since He said that
those who believe the apostles shall
be saved, but those who believe not
shall be condemned, is it not wisdom
and duty to believe the church which
alone has any union with the apostles,
which alone has their doctrine and
teaches In the name and with the au-
thOrity not Of mere human reason,
which is capable Of all errors, but of
the Master Of the apostles and of us
all, the Lord Jesus Christ?
