There has just been released for the first time in English a book entitled Why Did I Leave the Church of Rome? by a Spanish Jesuit “priest,” who is now a minister of the Gospel in Buenos Aires, South America, as no ex-“priest” is allowed to remain on Spanish soil. He is the Rev. Luis Padrose, ex-Director Founder of the Loyola Institute of Psychological Orientation, and ex-Vice-President of the International Committee of Roman Catholic Psychologists and Psychiatrists in Spain. The book has been translated into English by the Rev. E. Stuart Brown of the Spanish Gospel Mission, and may be had from Mr. Normal Porter, General Secretary, National Union of Protestants, Northern Ireland, Howard Buildings, 26 Howard Street, Belfast, N.1. The author writes:—”After living forty-three years a sincere Roman Catholic, fifteen of intense ecclesiastical training, ten as a ‘priest’ and a popular preacher to great multitudes, and twenty-three of religious life in the Jesuit order, I have arrived at the conviction that the Roman Catholic Church is not the true Church of the Lord Jesus Christ. It is not the true Church because it is full of sophistry, and no Church can be the true Church of Jesus Christ which is not based entirely on the Truth. The Roman Church is far removed from Christian truth, and, even worse, it is incapable of returning to the purity of the faith of Christ” (page 15). Despite the fact that the book has been banned by the Spanish hierarchy, both in the newspaper press and on the radio, and the most severe excommunication pronounced against anyone found reading or possessing a copy, it is being widely read among all classes, and several conversions have already taken place as a consequence. The book can be had at 2/10d. per copy, post free.—J. P. MACQUEEN.
