The True Test.

By Editor

If the Roman Catholic Church is the true Christian Church, and is as tolerant as she claims to be, why do members of her communion stone ex-priests and mob A. P. A. lecturers? Even granting that the ex-priests and the A. P. A. are wrong, is it right to do violence to them? Would Christ have done so? “Now if any man have not the Spirit of Christ, he is none of his.” Jesus said of his persecutors, “Father, forgive them; for they know not what they do.” But Rome curses and persecutes those who may speak against her dogmas. Is this the Spirit of Christ? Are Roman Catholics willing to abide by this test?
