Out of the Catholic Church there is no Divine faith-----can be no Divine faith out of that Church and all Protestant churches are FALSE. Some of the Protestant here will be shocked at this, to hear me say that out of the Catholic Church there is no Divine faith, and that without faith there is no salvation, but damnation. I will prove all I have said. I have said that out of the Catholic Church there can be no Divine faith. What is Divine faith? When we believe a thing upon the authority of God, and believe it without doubt, without hesitating. Now, all our separated brethren outside of the Catholic Church take the private interpretation of the Bible for their guide; but the private interpretation of the Bible can never give them Divine faith. The Catholic has Divine faith, and why? Because the Catholic says: I believe in such and such a thing. Why? Because the Church teaches me so. And why do you believe the Church? Because God has commanded me to believe the teaching of the Church; and God has threatened me with damnation if I do not believe the Church, and we are taught by St. Peter, in his epistle, that there is no private prophecy or interpretation of the Scriptures, for the unlearned and unstable wrest the very Scriptures, the Bible, to their own damnation. That is strong language, my dear Protestants, but that is the language of St. Peter, the head of the Apostles. The unlearned and unstable wrest the Bible to their own damnation! And yet, after all, the Bible is the book of God, the language of inspiration; at least, when we have a true Bible, as we Catholics have, and you Protestants have not. But, my dearly beloved Protestant friends, do not be offended at me for saying that. Your own most learned preachers and bishops tell you that, and some have written whole volumes in order to prove that the English translation, which you have, is a very faulty and false translation. I conclude by saying that It is an historical fact that all the Protestant Churches ARE FALSE and are the institutions of man-----everyone of them. Christ had established His Church and given His solemn oath that His Church should stand to the end of time: promised that He had built it upon rock, and that the gates of Hell should never prevail against it-----ONLY THE CATHOLIC CHURCH CLAIMS THAT AND PROVES IT. all those different denominations of religion are the invention of man; a tradition of man and I ask you can man save the soul of his fellow-man by any institution he can make? Must not religion come from God?
