thize with the holy father. All the holy
see approves, we approve: all 1t condemns.
We condemn. 1t Is false to say that the
church and state separation law puts the
French church In the same condition as the
American church. We enjoy perfect lib
erty Of possession, using our property &C
cording to church law, our rights being
protected by the civil laws"
