The Protestant Bible and Religious Liberty
By Editor
The editor of the Torch of Reason tells us that "until the people are emancipated from the Catholic Church, the Protestant Bible, and the belief in the supernatural, there is no hope for this world." This is all true as regards the Catholic Church, in the darkness of the extreme recoil from whose tyrannous superstition, the editor is now enthralled. But he would not have the liberty to print these utterances of his, had it not been for the "Protestant Bible" and the Reformation that Bible wrought despite of superstition. The Anglo-Saxon race would have been in the depths of the darkness of pagan nature-worship, had it not been for the light radiating from that Bible, despite the clouding superstitions of apostate Christianity. And those who continue to decry that Bible, "progressive" "agnostics" tho they are, will yet pass through "scientific" Spiritism, fearfully delusive to the soul, and deplorably resultant in its morals, to the bosom of that same Catholic Church. Even then they will call it progress, till the light of eternity, undimmed by human reasonings, shall lay bare the fearful body of corruption in all its ghastly nakedness of death. Christianity still stands open-armed to meet their needs. "Man turns from God, not God from him."
