THE NTERMoUNA AND COLORADO CATHOLIC: FEBRUARY TO- 1907

sion is TO defend and advance Catholic truths Our
bishops encourage Catholic laymen with vigorous
faith, known to be pous learned and practical
Catholics to lend their aid in disseminating Cath
Ole truths by writing for the press. The errors
misstatementS and misrepresentation daily pub
lished regarding the church cannot be otherwise
contradicted. A Catholic journal is the natural
remedy for opposing truth to error. The Inter
Mountain Catholic courts the good will and ntelec
tua aid not only of the 500 practical Catholics in
Utah but of all Catholics So far we know of only
one eminent layman who has really supported and
has given his generous sympathy to this Journal
aud that is its illustrious founder. The church
without Catholic press 70 defend its rights is al
ways at the mercy of the unbeeving world, mere
handful of whom have often tyrannized over
whole Catholic nation. 1t is so in France today
1t was so at outbreak of the revolution of 1852
when not more than million OF its twenty-five
million Catholic population belonged to the revo-
lutionary party The terrorists had still less the
support of Catholics When Queen Elizabeth
cended the English throne England was in the main
Catholic and would have remained faithful if
Catholic press had been then in existence to ex-
pound and make known Catholic truths, what was
an article of faith and what was not How few of
Catholic laity even yet distinguish between
dogmas of faith and matters of discipline pous
beliefs But this is DEPRESSING. and the depression
is simply to show why the church encourages Cath
Ole journalism and blesses it and its loyal support
ers everywhere.
We would very gladly comply with critics
suggestion, but our staff of reporters is very linn
tied. We relied on the members of the X. of c. to
help us in this matter

week in not mentioning at all an instructive lecture
given by DR.. Roche of this Ny, to which the Salt
Lake Tribune devoted at least three columns is
from Catholic point of view almost inexcusabe.
We would suggest that you instruct your re-
porters in the various towns, III this and surround
ing states, for the benefit of the church and of the
knights of Columbus, to procure and publish items
of interest, concerning the dongs of the knights of
Columbus
The reason we refer to this matter of the Roche
lecture especially is that it mastery presen

who appreciated it, and feel that DR.. Roche is en-

is disgusting Misrepresentation of the facts of the
inspired historian regarding the beheading of John
the Baptist. 1t seizes upon the Scripture narrative
to weave about it web of fiction of disgusting
and putrid character. "Salome" is the name given
to the daughter of Herodias who danced before He

the lacivious swayings of the girl that he offers
her anything in his power to give. Whereupon the
