He is 73 years old, was born and raised a Catholic and believed that to be a Catholic he had to believe and conform to the Dogmas, rites and cermonies of the Catholic Church. He bought two books written by L. Abbe D. Segur: one called "Short and Familiar Answers to Most Objections Urged against Religion." The other is "Plain Talk About Protestantism of Today in Short and Familiar Answers." From them he learns that a Protestant who believes himself in good faith and who has never had the opportunity of knowing the Catholic faith will have the same claim to the joys of Heaven as if he were a Catholic. He quotes Scripture, Father Francis X. Weninger, S.J., and Segur to show his point. He does not see how invincible ignorance of the Church will save non-Catholics. He apologizes for writing such a long letter. When people ask him if he believes in Papal Infallibility he tells them he does, since this was decreed by a General Council, and if the other 18 Councils were infallibile, so is this one. Catholics cannot accept one and deny the other. P.S. He asks that his name be withheld if McMaster uses any remarks from the letter. He is not a direct subscriber to the Journal, but purchases it regularly. :: I-1-o A.L.S. 4pp. 6to.
