If antiquity be the criterion of authenticity, the claims of Buddhism must be respected; it has the superior warrant of many centuries.

There can be no defense of those deliberate falsifications of history, that concealment of historical facts, of which the Church has so often taken advantage.

In these things the end does not justify the means.
Then has it in truth come to this, that Roman Christianity and Science are recognized by their respective adherents as being absolutely incompatible; they cannot exist together; one must yield to the other; mankind must make its choice--it cannot have both.
SCIENCE AND FAITH.

While such is, perhaps, the issue as regards Catholicism, a reconciliation of the Reformation with Science is not only possible, but would easily take place, if the Protestant Churches would only live up to the maxim taught by Luther, and established by so many years of war.

That maxim is, the right of private interpretation of the Scriptures.
