Luther and Lutherdom - From Original Sources #225963

It still remains only too true that, on the side of Protes tants, in their instructions and elsewhere, Catholic doctrine and establishments are systematically distorted. It was this melancholy fact that lent to my pen the sharp tone which was taken so ill in my preface. In these prudish times, however, it is worth while sparing the weak nerves of many a reader, all the more so as the facts anyhow speak loudly enough of them selves. The very reception oi my book again confirms, in classic fashion, the uncritical, undiscriminating partisanship of by far the greater part of our opponents.
