Following closely upon the Pan Anglican Conference, with its imposing gathering of Bishops, comes the announcement of the still more imposing “Eucharistic Congress” of the Church of Rome, to be attended by numerous Archbishops. Cardinal Vanutelli says: “This Congress will be of great importance as it is the first time that a gathering of this nature has been held in a Protestant country.”
Father Doyle, of Washington, is on his way to attend it, “and will take advantage of the opportunity (sic) to discuss with Archbishop Bourne the foundation in Great Britain of a Catholic Mission House similar to that over which Father Doyle presides in Washington for the conversion of Protestants to Roman Catholicism.”
Rome is making a determined attack upon England, and large numbers of the upper classes will no doubt be gathered into her net. The Bible is the only bulwark against Rome, but the bulk of people today are in absolute ignorance of its teaching. Protestantism is utterly powerless before the advance of Rome’s superstitions, having abandoned all real belief in the plenary inspiration of the Scriptures.
There are multitudes of people today whose faith has become shaken in the Bible through pulpit dreamings about “higher criticism,” and who feel the need of something to rest on.
These are just the people, adrift from their moorings, who are in danger of being dazzled by the false pretensions of Rome.
