Answer Of the Catholic Church to the Insulting
Tannta Of the Ago.

Iadinm of truth and Of public and private
morality / am the root and bond Of charity

forever; for truth and Justice being, in the
and, always victorious, will not cease TO bless
and to triumph. All the works Of earth have
perished time has obliterated them. But re- |
main; because Christ remains, and will an
