| Summary: | When Catholic Missionaries first went to Western Oceania in the 1840s, they encountered established Protestant mission stations and worshipping Christian communities. The first Vicar Apostolic of Western Oceania, instructed his missionaries to present their church as “the ancient Church, the mother Church, the foundation Church, the true and only Church, which exists everywhere on earth.” The diocesan archives in Auckland New Zealand preserve a single copy of a poster which communicated those ideas. This article identifies the source of that visual aid which was widely used in the first thirty years of the Catholic Mission to Western Oceania. |
