Opis: Catholic Religion - Martin Charles Alfred

Excerpt from Catholic Religion: A Statement of Christian Teaching and History

The story is told of the late Samuel Stehman Haldeman, the distinguished naturalist of the University of Pennsylvania and founder of the National Academy of Sciences, that when asked by his friends what brought him to the threshold of the church, he would reply: - "Bugs!"

Then with good nature he answered their astonishment by explaining that even the smallest insect preserved in his cabinets, possessed the organism necessary for its proper activities. Head and members he always found working together as one body. His science thus led him to expect that if a church - as the embodiment of religion, were really part of the divine plan, and so had its place in the world, that church would be equipped by the common Creator, with the organization and means of action proper to it, as carefully at least, as is the beetle of a day. What his hypothesis demanded, Professor Haldeman believed he found realized in Catholic Christianity.

Men are commonly enough impressed by the social organization of the church.
