Three articles by Kuyper are reprinted in full (along with numerous quotations and excerpts) in the first volume of the three-volume collected works of the Roman Catholic Redemptorist apologist Th.F. Bensdorp (1860–1917). Bensdorp was among the critical readers of De Heraut from 1893 until 1917.

An article from De Heraut, no. 791, February 19, 1893 is reprinted under the title “Controvers” on pages 12–13; Bensdorp’s commentary on it is also reprinted from the Roman Catholic daily paper De Maasbode, no. 4952, February 28, 1893. In the article Kuyper responds to two articles by F.A. Maaier (= Bensdorp) entitled “Dr. Kuyper on the Sacrament of Marriage,” which had been published in De Maasbode, no. 4938, February 11, 1893–no. 4939, February 12, 1893.

Kuyper’s “Corrigendum,” which Bensdorp first published in the monthly De Katholiek 113 (1898), pp. [57]–59, is reprinted on pages 303–304. In an article in De Heraut, no. 1030, September 19, 1897 (published as part of the series Van de gemeene gratie—see 1903.13), Kuyper had speculated about the motivations for making the immaculate conception into a Roman Catholic dogma. Bensdorp sought to refute his remarks in De Katholiek. In reply Kuyper offered his “Corrigendum” in De Heraut, no. 1039, November 21, 1897. In the article Kuyper writes that he is not used to responding to this kind of criticism from Roman Catholics because he considers that the controversies of the past have been put to rest. On controversial matters about church dogma, he thinks that a truce is advisable until “the controversy with the new aberrations of this century has been fought to the end.”

1901.05 is also reprinted on pages 635–637. As with the second (see 1920.12) and the third volume (see 1922.13), the first volume of Bensdorp’s collected polemical writings contains many lengthy quotations from articles published in De Heraut.
