Bishop David [1761-1841], born in France and an early Catholic Bishop in Kentucky, defends the Church against the "errors," "false reasonings," and "misrepresentations" of a Presbyterian Minister's attack on Catholic Doctrine. David's mission: "tearing off the hideous mask with which calumny and misrepresentation had covered the fair face of Christ's spouse, the holy Catholic Church; and exposing to my brethren of other religious denominations, her real sentiments and genuine practice. Catholics are no idolaters in the use they make of the memorials of Christ and his Saints."
