| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: Buddhism |
| | Even if Buddhism, however, outranked Christianity in the number of adherents, it would be a mistake to attribute to the religion of Buddha, as some do, a more successful propagandism than to the religion of Christ. | | | The fundamental tenets of Buddhism are marked by grave defects that not only betray its inadequacy to become a religion of enlightened humanity, but also bring into bold relief its inferiority to the religion of Jesus Christ. | | | Asylums and hospitals in this sense are unknown to Buddhism. |
