A book fell into my hands last week that
I never expected to read, but which I am excited to tell you about because it
has given me yet another reason to be grateful that I found my way to the
Catholic Church 49 years ago. At first,
I planned only to read the introduction, but I knew from the first few words,
this was going to be a book I would not be able to put down. The title is
Let There Be No Divisions Among Them, Why All Christians Should be
Catholic, by Rev. John MacLaughlin, first published in 1891. It begins this way,
Introduction
"In the following pages, I propose to answer the question, ‘Is one religion as good as another?’
In other words, I propose to discuss indifferentism, the popular theory that teaches that all Christian creeds find equal favor in the eyes of God and that it doesn’t matter which branch of Christianity a man belongs to, provided he be a good man after his own fashion."
