Is One Religion as Good as Another (Classic Reprint)

Excerpt from Is One Religion as Good as Another

Dear Lord Howard,

Ever since there was the idea of asking your Lordship's acceptance of this little book, there has been in my mind a constantly deepening conviction that it could not be more appropriately dedicated than to the son of the man who, noble in soul as well as by birth, consecrated the energies of his life to the furtherance of the Church's interests.

The many good and great works achieved by your venerated father in the service of religion have not been forgotten; they are still fresh in the memories of the faithful of these countries and of the colonies, and, I may add, of the faithful throughout the world. Few will fail to remember that his all-absorbing idea, for a long period of his most useful life, was the securing for poor Catholic boys and girls a thorough religious education, the saving of our waifs and strays from the danger of perversion, and the extending of the multiform influence of the Catholic Church through the length and breadth of the land.

I am cognizant of your Lordship's praiseworthy desire to resemble him in all this; and while I am aware that you keep entirely aloof from the politics of the day, I am aware at the same time of your noble determination to walk in the path of Christian zeal which he so gloriously traced out for you.
