KNOWLEDGE OF THE CATHOLIC FAITH.
Some Catholics know little about the Catholic faith. All Protest-ants know less. Historic Christianity is the one big subject that most intelligent men lack information about. Rev. J. M. Hemmeon, the Methodist minister of Wolfville, N.S., says: It is a strange and lamentable fact that not one Protestant in ten thousand knows the truth about the teaching and practice of the Catholic Church. . . . Not one Protestant in thousands ever seeks information concerning the Catholic Church from Catholic sources. . . . They generally believe a distorted caricature and call it Romanism." And Rev. T. R. Thompson, Congregationalist, of Chicago, says: In all fairness it must be admitted that popular ignorance, superficial knowledge, and malicious slander have misrepresented her (Catholic Church) teachings in many instances."
