Download or read book American Catholics and the Roman Question Classic Reprint written by Joseph Schroeder and published by Forgotten Books. 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 Documents of American Catholic History Classic Reprint written by John Tracy Ellis and published by . This book was released on 2015-07-06 with total page 692 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Documents of American Catholic History A word should be said about the method used in collecting and editing the documents. First, with the exception of those from the colonial period, the arrangement is chronological. Since the Catholic missions of the three European powers that sent out colonies from the sixteenth through the eighteenth centuries are usually treated as separate units, it seemed best to break the chronology in this earlier section and list the entries under the headings of Spain, France, and England. It was also thought preferable to put two or more items on a single person together under the date of the first document rather than to separate them. Most of the material was naturally taken from sources in English, but for that written in foreign languages standard translations were used whenever they were available. In a few cases, however, translations were made either by the editor himself or were supplied to him through the kindness of friends. In the main the documents are printed just as they appear in the original source, although in some instances minor changes have been made either to improve the translations from foreign sources or to insert punctuation in certain English documents in order to clarify the meaning. For each item a single source has been cited in the introductory note, although in some instances the same document may be found in several collections. The translations of papal bulls and encyclicals generally give the student a reference to the official collections of the Holy See where the original may be read in Latin. While reference has frequently been made in the introductory notes to pertinent books and periodicals, no effort has been made to add a formal bibliography with each document. Most of the better books in American Catholic history contain bibliographies, and for all the essential works published up to three years ago the editor's A Guide to American Catholic History (Milwaukee: 1959) will serve the purpose. The editor is conscious of the fact that some readers may feel the need for more of a commentary than they will find in the introductory notes. An effort was made to supply the necessary background for a proper understanding of each document; nonetheless, a few over-all comments may help to clarify certain matters that recur in a number of the entries. This is especially true where the material touches on ecclesiastical points of a somewhat technical nature that are often not familiar to the lay reader.

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.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Catholic Pioneers of America This little volume is the imperfect fulfilment of a long-cherished design. It trenches on no other work. It merely moves into an unoccupied place - a place of its own. We speak a language in which, I regret to say, it has been the fashion for centuries to give as little credit as possible to Catholics and the Catholic Religion. I have often felt the want of a cheap, handy work on the present subject. Among people, otherwise well informed, there is, beyond all doubt, a great deal of disgraceful ignorance as to what Catholics have achieved in the New World. Let me illustrate. On one occasion, an American lady - who had just given the finishing touches to her education at Paris - expressed astonishment on my saying that Christopher Columbus was a Catholic, and that he found in his religion the chief motive that led him to double the size of the world's map. It seemed to sound stranger than if I had asserted that the illustrious Admiral was a Mormon, a Mahometan, or even the great-grandson of Jack the Giant-killer. Some years ago, I was amused to hear an educated gentleman state that Champlain was a Huguenot, because his name was Samuel; and he assured me that he had this ridiculous piece of information from the principal of a school in Canada.

This book was released on 2017-07-07 with total page 568 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Records of the American Catholic Historical Society of Philadelphia, Vol. 12 Church in America, and of its distinguished men and women, ecclesiastical and lay, religious and secular, result in the elucidation of truth and the correction of error, we Shall have done a work not less important, perhaps even more so, than that of the noble organizations who visit the widow and the orphan, who alleviate the miseries of the prisons, and who watch by the bedside of the Sick or minister to the dying on the battle-field. If we can build up a great library of works of original reference, we Shall aid the teachers whose explanations of the truth of the religion in which all these good men and women find their incentive are so powerful; and aiding these we aid every good effect that follows from their efforts. We have taken for our field American Catholic History. In taking this we embrace a wide domain; the materials for its truthful recital will be found not alone amidst the archives of our own land, but wherever the records of events are preserved throughout the world. To understand its philosophy, the writer must be familiar not alone with the written words, but his knowledge must extend to racial peculiarities. He must know the proud Spaniard, the tena cious Dutchman, the Frenchman who manifests himself in so many different aspects from the brilliant soldier to the humble missionary priest. The history of the all-conquering Englishman must be his special study; while the aboriginal tribes of the North and the South, from the savage Iroquois to the semicivilized Aztec and Peruvian, pass in review before his keen intelligence.

The writer of the pamphlet quotes with full approbation, from an anti - Jesuit work, as follows - The General (of the Jesuits) IS placed above all governments, constitutions, and laws, and even above God himself. There are no laws of a State, no rules of morality estab lished by society, no principles of religious faith established by any Church - including even the Roman Catholic Church itself - that the Jesuit is not bound to resist, when commanded by his General to do so, no matter if it shall lead to war, revolution, or bloodshed, or to the upheaval of Society from its very foundation.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Records of the American Catholic Historical Society of Philadelphia, Vol. 15 Throughout this country, in very many directions, and in Europe also, there are important letters, books, pictures, newspapers, scraps of information, etc., both of recent date or Of ancient record, whose value is great, and which often times might be had for the mere asking, or at little expense. SO far as the funds of the Society or the generosity of its members will permit, we are most anxious to gather into our store-house, and to publish in our Records, whatever helps to tell or illustrate the story, however humble or heroic, Of Catholic achievement in America. In at least some of our public libraries there are um published manuscripts that tell of Catholic effort and sacri fice, of devotion and accomplishment, whose publication would give much light to the historian, and make interest ing and helpful reading for us all. I venture to say that copies of those manuscripts are easily procurable, did we interest ourselves in the matter, each in his own locality, and that permission to print these same would be granted for the guarantee of due credit.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The American Catholic Quarterly Review, Vol. 47: January, 1922 At the request of Baron Christopher William von Stotzingen and his wife Anne (nee Vogt), Mark Rey accompanied their son and several young nobles in making the grand tour of several European countries. It taught him much of the religious situa tion in continental Europe. France still remembered the Huguenot wars, the twenty thousand churches destroyed, the multitude of priests, religious and laity massacred, and the soldiers who had fallen in those fratricidal conflicts, leaving behind them weeping widows and orphaned children. The country was alarmed at the invasion of the Reformation. They talked then of the Protestant peril as they now sometimes speak of the yellow peril. But the former was much nearer and there was more of actuality in it than in the vague apprehensions of contemporary forecasts. The Huguenots menaced the unity of the State as well as of the Church. They enveloped the country in a network of conspiracies, neglect ing nothing calculated to foment civil war: like the Orange Prot estants in northeastern Ulster in another Catholic country, where, aided and encouraged by the British Government, they are em deavoring to at once establish another English pale in place of the old Leinster pale, renationalized, and to found a purely Protestant State in the most historic region of a land predominantly Catholic. For 140 golden crowns Conde and Coligny had sold Havre, Dieppe and Rouen to the English; which the Protestant Colbert stigma tized as ah act of cowardly perfidy. Despite the protests of the Sorbonne and the University and Parliament of Paris, exceptional privileges had been conceded to the Huguenots, which emboldened them to constitute themselves a State within the State, measuring their strength against the legitimate government of the country.
