At the Baltimore Catholic Congress, Henry F. Brownson, LL.D., said: The American system is also anti-protestant, and must either reject Protestantism, or be overthrown by it. At the dedication of the Roman Catholic Uni versity at Washington, Father Fidelis asserted: Either the Catholic Church is God's agency set in operation and maintained by Him for the salva tion of mankind, or else there is no hope from God.

This book was released on 2016-10-26 with total page 702 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Popular History of the Catholic Church in the United States IT is Seldom, indeed, that the American Catholic author Of a strictly Catholic book, has the gratification Of adding a few words to the fourth edition of his fist book within a few months after its first issue. Yet, scarcely six months have passed since the first copy Of the present volume was given to the public. The earliest edition was so quickly disposed of, that I had but little time to make a hasty re vision, when another was called for. Soon a third edition was demanded, and, now, a fourth. I feel that I am deeply indebted to the kindness and generous appreciation Of our Catholic public. TO express fully my warm gratitude, I am at a loss for fitting terms. Were my volume a novel, or a romance, I would not be so astonished at its success; but it is a book Of dates, facts, and figures, a book in which imagination had little room for play, a book, in fine, standing on the solid ground Of truth. But, after all, perhaps, truth is stranger than fiction. Nor are my thanks less due to the American, Canadian, and British press, for the friendly expressions Of welcome, the manly, courteous reception accorded to my first literary venture in the book-world. But I thank, above all, those learned and venerable Rulers of the Church whose valued, weighty, and beauti ful words Of encouragement, I can never forget.

This book was released on 2017-12-21 with total page 114 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from American Catholics and the Roman Question The following pages are an expansion Of an article published by me on the same subject in the American Catholic Quarterly Review, January 1892. Certain qualified judges, whose desire was for me a command, having urged me to publish it separately, I felt it my duty to somewhat enlarge its scope and reinforce its argument. It is unnecessary to say that I have by no means either the intention or the pretension of exhausting such a subject in so few pages. I have proposed to myself primarily to Show clearly and frankly the Catholic point of View from which the Roman question should be regarded, indicating the principal considerations which should be taken into account in a true conception and solution of it, and thus to disengage it from those prejudices and ambiguities with which the best intentioned people sometimes surround it.

Download or read book We Hold These Truths written by John Courtney Murray and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2005 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1960 publication of We Hold These Truths marked a significant event in the history of modern American thought. Since that time, Sheed & Ward has kept the book in print and has published several studies of John Courtney Murray's life and work. We are proud to present a new edition of this classic text, which features a comprehensive introduction by Peter Lawler that places Murray in the context of Catholic and American history and thought while revealing his relevance today. From the new Introduction by Peter Lawler: The Jesuit John Courtney Murray (1904-67) was, in his time, probably the best known and most widely respected American Catholic writer on the relationship between Catholic philosophy and theology and his country's political life. The highpoint of his influence was the publication of We Hold These Truths in the same year as an election of our country's first Catholic president. Those two events were celebrated by a Time cover story (December 12, 1960) on Murray's work and influence. The story's author, Protestant Douglas Auchincloss, reported that it was "The most relentlessly intellectual cover story I've done." His amazingly wide ranging and dense--if not altogether accurate--account of Murray's thought was crowned with a smart and pointed conclusion: "If anyone can help U.S. Catholics and their non-Catholic countrymen toward the disagreement that precedes understanding--John Courtney Murray can." . . . Murray's work, of course, is treated with great respect and has had considerable influence, but now it's time to begin to think of him as one of America's very few genuine political philosophers. His disarmingly lucid and accessible prose has caused his book to be widely cited and celebrated, but it still is not well understood. It is both praised and blamed for reconciling Catholic faith with the fundamental premises of American political life. It is praised by liberals for paving the way for Vatican II's embrace of the American idea of religious liberty, and it is

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Catholic Church From Within A picture of The Catholic Church from Within' sketched by a lay hand has advantages over one drawn by a priest. The subject has been viewed from a somewhat different standpoint. It is freer, perhaps more actual; does not pretend to be professional is not authoritative. The picture may, therefore, in some sense, if not truer to nature, be yet more interesting, though it may fall short in professional turns and in a certain scientific touch and balance.

In the present Issue of the Acta et Dicta, the first ten letters are published; it has been deemed advisable to reproduce them, such as they are, in the manuscript. An English translation has been added to the original French text. The following data of Bishop Cretins life are submitted for a better understanding of the documents. Bishop Joseph Cretin was born the 19th. of December, 1799, at Montluel, department of Ain, France. His father kept an inn and a bakery in the town, and was doing a profitable business. Young Cretin received his first instructions from the Rev. Denoyel, a Vicar at Montluel, and afterwards parish priest at Sourcieux, Rhone. He continued his studies in the colleges of Meximieux (Ain), LArgentierek (Rhone), Alix (Rhone), and in the seminary of St. Sulplce, Paris. On the 20th. of December, 1823, he was ordained priest, then was sent to Femey, the home of Voltaire, as Vicar, and utlimately became parish priest there. In 1838 he went to America with Bishop Loras, the first incumbent of the See of Dubuque, la.; and after his arrival he was made vicar-general of the new diocese. The labours of Father Cretin were spent chiefly in Dubuque, la., Prairie du Chien, Wis., and among the Winnebago Indians near Fort Atkinson, Winneshiek Co., la. In 1850 he was appointed first Bishop of St. Paul, Minn., and consecrated the 26th. of January, 1851, at Belley, France, by Bishop Devie. He arrived in St. Paul the 2nd. of July, 1851, and laboured in his vast diocese up to his death, which occurred the 22nd. of February, 1857.
