The Dogmatic Constitution on Divine Revelation of Vatican II pretends to be an announcement of the gospel. But it wants to be a continuation of the Council of Trent and Vatican I. This paper is a critical investigation of the position taken by Rome on the issue of revelation.

This article was written by Charles Hodge to Pope Pius IX on why the Protestants could not accept the Pope's invitation to attend Vatican I. The differences between the Protestants and Roman Catholics are discussed, as well as church unity.
