Professor Eastman quoted the late Professor Gerald Birney Smith: "Protestantism has suddenly become conscious of the inartistic quality of many phases of its portrayal of religion. . . . If Protestantism is worth preserving it can be preserved only as it shall be made as obviously dignified and worthy as Catholicism. But this dignifying of Protestantism cannot be a mere imitation. . . ." Poetry Society. Catholicism is well aware that it is "dignified and worthy."
