Five Questions Answered

By Editor

In the August-to-October Protestant Magazine

JUST ISSUED

These five, and twenty-one other great and important questions relative to the conflict between true Protestantism and Roman Catholicism, are answered in this number:—

QUESTION ONE.—What is the significance of the public celebration on Sunday, May 28, 1911, “for the first time in American history,” of the “sacrifice of the mass” upon government ground in Washington, D. C.?

QUESTION TWO.—What is the significance of the unusual honor bestowed upon Cardinal Gibbons, in Baltimore, Md., on June 6, 1911, by the political leaders of America?

QUESTION THREE.—What did a noted Roman Catholic diplomat in Europe confide to the American ambassador to the court of Germany, as his own views of the claim that the Pope of Rome is, and has been, “the world’s greatest peacemaker”?

QUESTION FOUR.—Did Peter have a primacy of authority over the other apostles? What say the Bible and church history on this great question underlying the claims of the Pope to apostolic authority?

QUESTION FIVE.—Why was Baroness von Zedwitz, one of the founders of the Catholic University of America in Washington, D. C., compelled to repudiate Roman Catholicism, and espouse Protestantism anew?
