Have you had to defend these critiques? The Catholic Church withholds the Bible from Catholics The Catholic Church blindfolds reason with art, music, and sentimentalism. The Catholic Church wrongly promotes worship of Mary and the saints. Many good people reject the Catholic Church for what they consider to be its absurd teachings. In these pages, Archbishop Patrick John Ryan shows that these souls are mistaken not in condemning absurd teachings, but in believing those teachings to be Catholic. Archbishop Ryan considers the most common charges levied against Catholicism, showing that not only are those scorned doctrines not Catholic, they're condemned by the Church! Here are just a few of the common misconceptions that are corrected in this book: • That the Church claims to endow its priests with the power of forgiveness a power reserved to God alone • That Catholics believe inanimate objects (such as relics and holy water) can perform miracles • That Catholics pray as well to statues, images, and relics, offering them worship that belongs to God alone • And many more surprising charges! This book is no catechism nor is it meant to be; reading it won't make a person Catholic. But it will expel from the minds of fair-minded souls scores of popular misconceptions about the Church ones that have for too long served as impediments to persons genuinely yearning for full communion with Christ.

Excerpt from The American Catholic Quarterly Review, Vol. 25: From January to October, 1900 The second letter, dated from St. Peter's, but on April 12, bears the inscription: To our very dear son in Jesus Christ, Kublai, Great Khan, Emperor and Moderator of all the Tartars, health and the apostolic benediction. Supposing the ambassador's story to be true and that he was a Christian, the Holy Father instructs him in the mysteries of the Incarnation and the Redemption, and upon the mission and divine authority of St. Peter and his successors to govern the universal Church and to lead into it all the peoples of the earth. He praises him - if the account of his conversion be true for his excellence and wisdom as a leader of his people, and urges him to cherish and cause to fructify in himself the wonderful grace thus received from on high. In conclusion, he recommends to him the five missionaries whom he sends in compliance with his request to instruct him more deeply in the Christian religion. All these remarkable facts of history would seem to place beyond question the kindly feelings of Kublai towards the Christians; but it is not so clearly established that he was himself baptized. And even in his letter to Kublai, Nicholas III. Is careful to preface his eulogiums with the words if it be true, or if this be so, seeming to imply that he is not certain of the truth of the report, but rather hopes that it may indeed be true. But this favorable disposition upon the part of the great Khan and his subordinates towards the Holy See afforded an excellent opportunity for zealous missionaries to penetrate into the immense camps of the warlike Tartars, and their labors bore abundant fruits in conversions to the faith. Other Franciscan missionaries con verted so large a number of the Tartars upon the frontiers of Hun gary that Nicholas III. Ordered Philip, Bishop of Fermo, his Apos tolic Legate in that portion of the North, to establish a bishop upon those frontiers in order to care properly for these newly converted people.

Patrick John Ryan was a Roman Catholic priest, bishop and archbishop in America in very turbulent and challenging times. He experienced the mass influx of European immigrants, anti-foreigner and anti-Catholic prejudice, the American Civil War and efforts to serve the needs of the African Americans and Native Americans. Ireland prepared him for the life he chose to lead. He encountered religious discrimination and the penal-law mentality and he witnessed the Great Famine. Influenced by the accomplishments of Daniel O'Connell, he began to develop his skills as an orator for which he was to gain a world-wide reputation.

Patrick John Ryan, the son of Jeremiah and Mary (Toohey) Ryan, was born in Thurles, Ireland.
He attended the Christian Brothers' school before going to Naughton's School in Rathmines, Dublin. As a schoolboy, he presented an address to Daniel O'Connell, a prisoner in Richmond Bridewell, and won the latter's approval as a youthful orator of promise. In 1852 he was graduated as a deacon from St. Patrick's College, Carlow, and emigrated to St. Louis, Mo. , where he completed his theological training.
Ryan was ordained a priest on September 8, 1853. As a curate at the cathedral, rector of the church of St. John the Evangelist, builder of the Church of the Annunciation, spiritual adviser of Confederate prisoners, of whom he was said to have converted several hundred, and as a preacher of exceptional power, Father Ryan won popular favor and the good will of Bishop Peter R. Kenrick. In 1866 he accompanied the latter as theologian to the Second Plenary Council of Baltimore, where he was selected as one of the official preachers.
In 1868 he was invited by Pius IX to preach the English Lenten sermons. During Kenrick's absence at the Vatican Council, Ryan and Henry Muehlsiepen as vicar generals administered the diocese. On the nomination of the American bishops at the Council, he was named coadjutor bishop of St. Louis with the titular see of Tricomia (1870), but was not consecrated by Kenrick until April 14, 1872.
As a coadjutor, he was exceedingly active, especially since Archbishop Kenrick, said to be somewhat annoyed by the promulgation of papal infallibility, rarely officiated in public for several years. Preaching and lecturing on all occasions, Ryan was described as the Chrysostom of the West. He was a tall, well-built, powerful figure with a leonine head crowned with auburn hair. He had a resonant but mellow voice, a sense of humor, striking ability as a raconteur, and was sane and tolerant in his utterances.
In 1871 he addressed the legislature of Missouri on "Arts and Sciences"; in 1877 he gave a series of lectures in St. Louis, published in 1878 under the title What Catholics do not Believe, which had wide circulation; he was invited by Cardinal McCloskey to preach at the dedication of St. Patrick's Cathedral in New York (1879).
Invited to Rome in 1883 in preparation for the Third Plenary Council of Baltimore, he returned in 1884 as titular archbishop of Salamis. At the Council, he was an active figure and preached the opening sermon. On June 8, 1884, he was transferred to the metropolitan see of Philadelphia, the second largest in the United States. Again, it was as an orator and preacher that he gained renown--at the funerals of Archbishops Corrigan, Hennessy, and Kenrick, at the foundation of the Irish Church in Rome, at the centennial celebration of the Church in Baltimore, at the Republican National Convention of 1900, at the McKinley memorial service in Philadelphia, and at numerous other ecclesiastical and civil functions.
In 1896 he arbitrated a riotous streetcar strike. On behalf of President Cleveland, he presented a copy of the Constitution of the United States to Pope Leo XIII; President Theodore Roosevelt appointed him to the Board of Indian Commissioners because of his interest in the Indians and his connection with various Catholic Indian missionary enterprises. As the spiritual leader of a third of the population of Philadelphia, he was potent in public affairs and commanded the respect of all classes in the community. He did not hesitate, however, to speak boldly when Catholic interests were at stake. Because of his reputation in Rome, priests of his careful training were elevated to bishoprics.
A cultured man rather than a learned scholar, he was deeply interested in the local Catholic colleges, acted as editor-in-chief of the American Catholic Quarterly Review from 1890 to his death, published several lectures, and was honored with degrees by a number of institutions.
Ryan was recognized as one of the greatest preachers in the Church and one of the leading orators in the country. He was uncompromising in urging pastors to build parochial schools; he cooperated in the foundation of the Roman Catholic High School endowed by Thomas Cahill, of the Central Catholic High School for Girls, and of an Industrial Home at Eddington, donated by the Drexels (1886). The establishment of the Protectory for Homeless Boys near Morristown (1896) he regarded as his crowning work. With the assistance of various communities of nuns, he fostered a number of other charitable institutions. During his regime, churches increased from 127 to 297, including two Negro churches and about eighty racial churches for Poles, Slovaks, Lithuanians, Greeks, and Italians.

Ryan was simple and unusually democratic in his manner of living; approachable, though somewhat condescending in manner; emotional, but not contentious.
