Discussion of the Catholic Church
By Editor
A STRANGER in New York City—stranger to us—proposes a discussion in our paper of the merits of the Catholic Church! We have never yet admitted a discussion in our paper on any subject, and do not feel called upon to do so now. But he accuses us of misrepresenting that church. This we deny. We were once before accused of the same thing by a man in this State, who specified his particular cause of complaint. We took the well-authenticated Catholic book entitled "The Glories of Mary," and abundantly disproved his charge. By this book we proved that the Catholic system of worship is not the gospel as taught in the holy Scriptures. We called upon our accuser to acknowledge that his charge was unjust, but he failed to respond. If our New York correspondent will point out any instance where he thinks we misrepresented the Catholic Church, we will notice it. That is all that justice requires.
