The Attraction of the Catholic Church It is remarkable that in a country such as this (says an English exchange), where a century ago the Catholic Church was a constant object of attack, it is now exercising an extraordinary attractive power. The statistics of our Catholic dioceses include in all cases a pretty large percentage of converts. And the influence of Rome’s appeal is still in many cases very strongly felt. For instance, at the final meeting of the Anglo-Catholic Congress at Bur-ton-on-Trent, the Rev. J. S. Willimott, vicar of St. Hilda’s, Leeds, said “the sins of men had divided the Church, and had kept it divided. The first thing they had to do as Anglo-Catholics was to contend for the reunion of the Church. Where did Christianity come from ? It came from Rome. Rome was their mother, and the Bishop of Rome their Patriarch. He should be acknowledged as Patriarch by all. Rome was the mother from whom they got the Gospel.” - _" ‘
