To us this signifies that she no longer has faith in herself.

The Catholic Church, which proclaims herself the channel of life, to-day chains and stifles all that lives youthfully within her, to-day seeks to prop all that is tottering and aged within her, To us these things mean death, distant, but inevitable death.

The Catholic Church, claiming to wish to renew all things through Christ, is hostile to us, who strive to wrest the direction of social progress from the enemies of Christ.

This fact, with many others, signifies to us, that she has Christ on her lips but not in her heart.

Such is the Catholic Church to-day.
