Excerpt from America or Rome, Christ or the Pope At the Centenary Celebration Of the Catholic Church in the United States, Archbishop Ireland declared The great work, which in God's provi dence the Catholics in the United States are called to do within the coming century, is, to make America Catholic, and to solve for the Church Universal the all-absorbing problem 'with which the age confronts her. 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. Protestantism has had its day, and is pass ing, as all human systems Of philosophy or religion must surely pass.
