Rome and Protestant Unity
By Editor
A recent number of the Catholic News of New York has the following, which confirms what the SIGNS has said again and again:— The Rev. Charles A. Briggs has just come out the worse for a tussle with the inspired prophets. This should prevent him from making vast prophecies, as the following: "That in time Protestants and Roman Catholics would be united, work under one standard creed, and break down the barriers which have in a great degree hindered the evangelization of the world." We hear a great deal of "union" and "unity," etc., from the Protestant end of the bargain. It takes two to make a bargain, and if the Protestants are one, then the Catholics are not the other. There is only one creed, and that is our creed. If the Protestants accept that, they are not Protestants. There is only one chance of unity, and that is the total annexation. Our Protestant friends will do well to learn that fact. Rome changes in policy, but she never compromises with Protestants.
