Protestantism and the Papacy

There was a time when no one doubted that "the most trenchant anti-Papal arguments" could be found in the prophetic writings of Daniel and the Apocalypse. But that was in the days of Sir Isaac Newton, and other men who studied the Bible, and were Bible expositors. Now the Protestant churches have adopted the Papal custom of studying the Fathers, and it has become exceedingly unfashionable to say anything against "Babylon the great, the mother of harlots and abominations of the earth." Yes, three centuries have wrought wonderful changes, but not in the Roman Catholic Church. Who will awake to the danger, and be true Protestants.
