Show 34 THE INTERMOUNTAIN CATHOLIC sistance for a movement which has for its end the wider diffusion of the Gospel in a land peopled almost wholly by Catholics who, in the traditional view of Protestants, are forbidden to read it. There may be novelty in the means adopted by this Congress to foster the reading of the Bible, but there is nothing new in the Churchs attitude toward the Holy Scriptures. Not only has she determined for her own household and for many millions of Christians besides the canon of the Sacred Scriptures and preserved them for two thousand years, but she has always and everywhere encouraged the faithful to read them. Many Popes have granted indulgences to those who practiced the devotion of reading approved versions of the Bible. Long before Luther there were Gospels in the vernacular for use by the laity, and, for those who could not read, the Church provided books which told in pictures the chief substance of the Old and New Testaments.

What this Italian Gospel Congress serves to emphasize is that while vast numbers of Protestants have ceased to receive the Bible as the inspired Word of God, the Catholic Church has given a new and impressive proof of her belief in the divine origin of the Scriptures, of her zealous guardianship of their integrity, and of her solicitude that they be a source of spiritual light and nourishment for her children.
