NJ Combes. showed himself by no
means willing to follow in mis- foot
steps.
The law of separation if accepted
will inevitably lead to the destruction
of religious liberty, just as the law of
! associations led to the destruction Of
religious congregations.
IF the separation of church and
state in France meant just what it
means in the United States, there
would have been no such hue and cry
raised against it. Very likely to many
it would have been by no mean UNI
desirable. But the situations are not
at all analogous.
I'm proof of this We have only to
point to the fact that on several oc-
casions some of the leading French
Cathlic deputies bluntly put the Ques-
ton, why do you not give us separa-
tiOn of church and state such as exists
in American The real nature of the
separation has been well expressed in
these words of a French priest: The
concordat might be compared to a
coniugal union, in which the state rep
! resented the husband and the church
the wife. Today they are separated
but the separation has simply con-
sisted in the husband banishing the
wife from her home, keeping all the
fortune for himself and preventing her
from acquiring any other by manag-
ing himself the little income wnich he
allows her to gain, and likewise in eX-
ercising a Jealous watch over all her
words and actions
Driven to Passive Resistance.
eft is not separation alone, there
fore that the holy father is repudiat-
ing. but tyranny in the guise of sep
aration. Hence it was imperative

It,was with the deepest regret, ana

perhaps the feature of the situa-
ton that will surprise us most and
call for our just indignation as Amer
leans is the French governments alb

press condition. We say it not III the
