Excerpt from The Collected Works of Theodore Parker, Vol. 11: Minister of the Twenty-Eight Congregational Society at Boston, U. S.; Containing His Theological, Polemical, and Critical Writings, Sermons, Speeches, and Addresses, and Literary Miscellanies; Sermons of Theism, Atheism, and the Popular Theology
In all this the whole Christian Church agrees, and is unitary, and there is no discord betwixt Catholic and Pro testant. But they differ in respect to the things to which they pay supreme and sovereign homage. The Catholic wor ships the Church: that is infallible, with its biblical and extra-biblical tradition, and its inspiration. The Roman Church is the religion of the Catholic. He must necessarily be intolerant. Two writers prominent in the Catholic Church of America within the last few months have declared that the Catholic Church is just as intolerant as she always was, and as soon as she gets power there shall be no more freedom of thought and speech in the new continent; she only waits for a hand to clutch the sword and put Protestantism to death. This comes unavoidably from her position. She must be sure that everybody else is wrong.
