Catholic Privileges and Protestant Rights

On the sixth page of this issue there is quoted a statement from Bishop McFaul, of Trenton, N. J., to the effect that the American Federation of Catholic Societies “desires no privileges; it claims for Catholics only what is just and fair.” On the fifteenth page of this same number is a report from Cuba, in which it is stated that “so late as 1898 the [Roman Catholic] bishop of Havana refused to comply with the request of Captain Sigsbee that the Protestant burial service might be read over the Protestant dead.” The contrast between what Roman Catholics ask for in Protestant countries, and what they grant to Protestants in Catholic countries, is a significant index to the true character of Roman Catholicism.
