IAN ApBea1 to My Protestant Fellow
Citizens
Dear Friend-It is sad COM
mentary on Christian charity to OBJ
serve at this day how rife rel 'gious
alhipathies have become. Whether
we be Protestant or Catholic the pre-
sumption is that we are trying to
serve God according to our inspira-
tons.
1.-THE fact that we are separated by
the adherence to different creeds
should not break the bond of charity
by which we are all united as chill
dren of God and coheres with Jesus
Christ our Saviours.
ut is quite true that both Protest
ants and Catholics foster misconceu-
tons of one anothers religious tenets.
"This misconcept'on engenders dis
cord. ana sadder still. 1t breeds posi-
tive hatred.
with no intention of beguiling you
away from your religious affiliations,
dear friend but solely fer the purpose
of imparting tn you a concise 'dea OF
what the Catholic church teaches re-
zardng our Protestant reigionists.

attend a mission to non Catholics TO
