What reading level is William Penn, the Friend of Catholics book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Francis Makemie, Founder of Presbyterianism in America, on March 28, 1707, wrote to Rev. Benj. Colman: "The penal laws are invading our American sanctuary without the least regard to the Toleration Act, which should justly alarm us all." [Pa. Mag., No. 2. vol. V. 1881, p. 224.] Such were Penu's principles, profes- sions and acts. How did his followers act? Did they do as he proclaimed? Let us take the "History of the United States," one of Sadlier's Excelsior Series of Catholic School Books. Th...is history has been prepared because tlie histories in the Public Schools are "a conspiracy against truth," as regards Catholics and their doings in this country. Yet it coniains the following: "Though William Penn granted re- ligious toleration througliout his own colony, still in maintaining it towards Catholics he was bitterly opposed by his own people." So while Penn is not saddled with the charge of the big histories, the odium is now placed on his followers. A few' sentences prior the people are described as "emigrants, mainly Quak- ers." Yet thei'e is no foundation wliatsoever for this declaration that they bitterly op- posed "tlie maintenance by Penn of re- ligious toleration towards Catholics." Take these facts as proof: Pennsylvania was tiie only colony ex- cept Maryland from which Papists were not excluded from the first hour of their settlement.
