Now, this is one of the thousands--yea, tens of thousands of such
instances that are forced down the throats of the ignorant, superstitions followers of Catholicism. Now, what I relate above is true in every conceivable manner, and not one sentence or statement is misrepresented. This belief in the power of St. Anthony is simply abominable and belongs to the dark ages of heathendom. I have often wondered when I was acting as priest in the Catholic Church why it was that Protestants, when they attended my church, would look on in wonderment and surprise, and I attributed this wonderment to a desire upon the part of Protestantism to make fun and villify the teachings of the Catholic Church, but I now realize that this bewilderment came from minds which had been elevated far above the cungerings of the Catholic Church, and I am now surprised that the Protestants who visit Catholic churches are not more bewildered and mystified, as the teachings of Protestantism are based upon the inspirations derived from the Word of God and the teachings of Catholicism are naught but the rumblings of the dark ages.
