Rome’s View of Protestantism

A BAPTIST paper says: “In these days, when smooth words concerning Romanism are so often uttered, it may be profitable to read some choice sentences from a book by one of the Canadian Jesuits, a book, too, which has received the highest commendation of the Romish bishop of Montreal: ‘It is customary to regard Protestantism as a religion which has its rights. This is an error. Protestantism is not a religion; it has not a single right. It possesses the force of seduction. It is a rebellion in triumph; it is an error which flatters human nature. Error can have no rights.’ That has always been the doctrine of the Church of Rome. When she is weak, however, she is ‘tolerant.’” —Converted Catholic.
