The author begins: "In the midst of contradictory beliefs of every
description, the world is at a loss to know what should be accepted
as true. Theories are conceived, as it were, over night;
long-established customs are abandoned; doctrines of unquestionable
authenticity are ruthlessly overthrown, - in a word, chaos reigns
in the world of thought and deed. But one institution retains the
stability of centuries; and men and women of judgment hopefully
turn their eyes to her, the one whom ages and changes have not
altered-the Roman Catholic Church. It is with the hope that this
book may aid Catholics to remain faithful to the Church and stand
by her in these difficult times, and that it may be the means of
attracting the many, who are sincere in their efforts to find a
trustworthy guide through the maze of beliefs and unbeliefs, to a
more thorough investigation of the 'Catholic Church, that it is
given to press." In the chapter on the Church as a Sign of
Contradiction, the author writes: "Simeon, the seer, some nineteen
hundred years ago took a little infant in his arms and made the
remarkable statement, "Behold this child is set for the fall and
resurrection of many in Israel, and for a sign which shall be
contradicted," a bystander might have ridiculed the thought that
the child of apparently unknown parents could ever rise to such
heights as to be the occasion of the success and failure, the rise
and fall of individuals as well as of nations. And yet this Child,
the Son of God, has been a sign of contradiction, and has exerted a
tremendous influence upon the nations of the world and their
destinies."
