The Gospel of Jesus Christ Is Free

It is a Roman Catholic who describes, in the Roman Catholic Tablet of July 17, what he saw in two London Catholic churches. In one church during a solemn high mass he was asked by a church official if he had paid for his seat; in another church two ladies had scarcely knelt in a seat when a verger came jingling his coins. The ladies had forgotten their purse, and they were requested to leave their seats, not needed by others, and walk out. The Gospel of Jesus Christ is free, and church offerings ought always to be voluntary.
