Excerpt from Our Faith and the Facts, Vol. 1 of 2: Religion's Story, What Catholics Believe and Practice, What We Have Done and Are Doing, Answers to Charges Made Against the Church, a Busy Person's Reference Work, a Home Library The Catholic Church is the Almoner of the World, because she is the channel of Gods grace to man.

In her history, as well as in the record of the ages of darkness but also of hope that preceded it, she gives to his artistic nature inspiration for the highest forms and creations of the work of his brain and of his hands, enabling him to produce works which outlive his own term of earthly existence, and send his message of faith and virtue into the lives of his children and his children's children. Nothing that man as a spiritual being needs is she unable or unwilling to supply. She is the Giver of Gifts by excellence, the Teacher of Teachers by right of her mission, the Judge of Judges by the authority of the justice that has been put in her by Divin
