The A. P. A. and Roman Catholicism
By Editor
WE do not belong to the A. P. A., nor do we as Christians believe in its methods, but we do not see with what consistency Roman Catholics and their friends can denounce the association as a "criminal conspiracy." Its object is to maintain the government, but to oppose the Catholics. The object of the Roman Catholic Church in every land is to place all governments under the control of the Vatican. Of course, it is thought by them that this is the best way to maintain and establish all government—to put it under the control of the Catholic Church. The A. P. A. believes that this is the worst thing that could happen to a government, and therefore opposes that church. Has not the A. P. A. as good a right to oppose the Roman Catholic Church as the Roman Catholic Church has to oppose the A. P. A.? As to the truthfulness of the claims of Rome regarding her beneficent offices in the establishment of nations and governments, let history speak. It would be well to listen to its voice.
