Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Rambler, Vol. 5: A Catholic Journal and Review of Home and Foreign Literature, Politics, Science, Music, and the Fine Arts Bible-Burning and Bible-Reading. A Book of no small size, and brimful of matter, might be written on the "shamelessness of Protestantism." We do not mean its moral immodesty, its impertinences, its impudent and ungentlemanly treatment of all things Catholic; but its logical shamelessness. It is natural, indeed, that it should be shameless in general, and especially shameless in the matter of logical consistency. Impostors and self-deceivers are in general flagrantly guilty of those very vices from which they most loudly profess themselves to be free, and their worst sins are in violation of those virtues of which they make their especial boast. Accordingly, as we hold Protestantism to be an imposition, and all Protestants to be either deceivers or deceived, we look for a peculiarly striking exhibition of vice in that very subject in which Protestantism boasts that it is peculiarly eminent for excellence as compared with the "Church of Rome." Reason and its free and right use, is the glory of the Protestant of all shapes and denominations. We are dull, stupid, ignorant, superstitious; the slaves of traditions and of a crafty priesthood. We don´t like the light; we hate science; we are averse to thought and reasoning, and every thing else that may make people inquire into the claims of our Church, because we know that those claims will not stand inquiry. Protestantism, on the contrary, may have its defects; but, at any rate, it is a free, open, bold, honourable creed, which fears not discussion, loves truth above all things, and takes its stand by the side of Euclid´s Elements and Newton´s Principia.
