Roman Catholic Superstition in New York

That Rome continues to foster superstition in this enlightened land and century was made manifest recently at the dedication of a Syrian Roman Catholic church in New York City. The officiating bishop received from Rome, for the occasion, “a splinter of the true cross,” which was ceremoniously “placed in the main altar.” The church is now counted worthy of peculiar honor. The incident illustrates the worship of externals, which is characteristic of the Roman religion. Christianity is the worship of the invisible God in spirit and in truth.
