Protestantism permitted and sustains Communism. To attack the Communists involves no danger, because they are unpopular with almost everyone in this country. But it requires courage to attack the real enemy, Protestantism. Still it must be done if we are to save our own souls and the souls of those Protestants of good-will who would come into the Church if a sufficiently strong challenge were presented and a sharp line drawn between the Church and its enemies. And let us not be afraid of calling the Protestants names.
Nothing is so useful in removing surface cordiality.
In this day of weakened faith name-calling is considered impolite. Very well, let it be so. Politeness is not one of the cardinal virtues. Our Lord and His apostles called heretics children of malediction, slaves of corruption, scoffers, lying teachers, deceitful workmen transforming themselves into the apostles of Christ, raging waves of the sea foaming out their own confusion, the dog returned to his vomit, the sow wallowing in the mire. We who have the love of Our Lord and Our Lady and who want good-willed Protestants to share in that love must make clear our challenge.
