According to recently published |
statistics the Roman Catholic popu-
lation OF the United States is almost |
fifteen millions. Undoubtedly these
figures are too high, as are sure to be
the figures relative to religious
denomination, for it is impossible to
always distinguish exactly between
the actual and the nominal but even
making a generous allowance for
shrinkage in this particular. the fact
remains that the growth of the Cath
Ollie church in this country is phe
nominal and emphasizes the fact to
which The Banner has before called
attention that the United States is
rapidly becoming the strongest Cath
Ollie country in the world. 1t is some
times difficult for the average Pro
testant to speak understandingly of
the Catholic church just as II is
sometimes difficult for the average
Catholic to understand the Protestant
point Of view, for a mans creed is so
largely a matter OF early training,
but in a broad sense, and with the
fact borne in mind that this is a
y glance through Protestant spectacles
this great growth OF the Catholic
church in this country is wonderful
showing of what the greatest historic
: church OF Christendom can do wher
| untrammeled by state and politica
connections. To our mind. and We
speak only as one person and with
. but limited opportunity for observa
ton, the troubles Of the Catholic
| church in several European countries
as for instance in Spain today, are
due to the historic but mistaken at
tempts to maintain union between
state and church. The Lutheran
church in Germany and the Englisl
church in Great Britain are weakened
by the same sort OF connection ant
as result neither is holding IL
own. II is here in free Americ
where 1t is freed from the thing
| that, to our mind, narrow and dc
stroy. that the Catholic church
