Reform Movement in French Catholicism

The Reformed Roman Catholic Party in France is encountering much opposition from the priests of the Romish Church. One of the reformers, M.

It is impossible to recognize the Christian religion in this old curiosity-shop of idols and miracles, and disguises in which the old faith is dressed up; and were any Epimenides to rise up from a sleep of half a century, he would fail to recognize the Roman Catholic religion in that heap of idolatries, superstitions, and polytheism under which it lies buried."
