Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Records of the American Catholic Historical Society of Philadelphia, Vol. 27 A Catholic Historical Society is a kind of insurance society, striving by preserving the sources of history to insure the Church against misrepresentation, for there is no more favorite and no more telling attack that can be made on the Church than that drawn from the pages of history. The office of the Society is not, however, that of a Catholic Truth Society, nor is it merely an organization for antiquarian research out of sole love of delving into the dust of the past. While it makes no claim to filling a loud-crying need nor to performing an indispensable service for Catholicity in America, it is not on the other hand a mere luxury of Catholic erudition. In treasuring up the memorials of the life of the Church in America, the Society is doing a work of real service for religion, a work which means much even for conversions into the fold. Surely the record of Catholicity in America is an added evidence of the divine character of the Church, of her four distinguishing marks as the Church of Christ. To those who have merely the current traditional notions of American history it is hardly less than amazing to learn of the important role played by Catholics in the drama of the Western world especially during the centuries of discovery and exploration, while it is positively startling to learn of the civilizing influence of Catholics in Spanish America. The story of Catholicity in America is an inspiring one and one that is little known. Spread the knowledge of the glories of the Church in the annals of American history and faith will be strengthened and new enthusiasm enkindled for things Catholic.
