Answer to the Lecture of Archbishop Hughes, on the Decline of Protestantism: A Lecture Delivered Nov. 26, 1850 - Couverture souple
Présentation de l'éditeur
A uiifect: THE DECLI ira OF PROTESTANTISM AND ITS CAUSE. The civilized world at the present day maybe considered as divided into two great religious denominations; the one adhering to the Catholic faith, the other rallying under the general term of Protestantism. I am aware that there are other religious divisions, such as that of the Greek Church, and that of the followers of Mahomet; but I speak of nations the most enlightened and civilized of the present age, whether on the continent of Europe or on this hemisphere, and I conceive they can fairly be divided between those two denominations. What the Catholic Church is does not require any particular explanation. I ts meaning is at once so simple, so comprehensive, so easily understood, that it were a waste of words to make the comprehension of it more clear than it already is to every mind. Not so with Protestantism. That term, as ordinarily employed, is understood, in its popular sense very clearly; nervertheless in any sense of science, or for the purposes of logical or theological accuracy, it is a word exceedingly ambiguous, vague and indefinite.
