Political Christianity.—Roman Catholic organs are calling every tendency to Protestantism manifest in Catholic countries “political Christianity.” But is not Roman Catholicism “political”? It may not always be locally so, but are they not working for an earthly kingdom,—earthly rule? Are they not desirous of putting in power in all lands the man in the Vatican? Are they not working for the church instead of the individual? Surely no intelligent Roman Catholic will deny that Protestants are as good citizens, fathers, mothers, neighbors, as Catholics. If the Protestant faith makes as good a man here as does membership in the Roman Church, does it not promise as much for the hereafter? Is not the principle purely political to work for the larger institution and ignore the individual soul? In fact, has not the history of the Roman Church in all lands proved her to be political, at times intensely so? And it is sad that many Protestants are following the same path. But Christianity is not political. Jesus said, “My kingdom is not of this world.”
