Hated the Truth.
I'm the days of our Lord. the world
hated IN" truth as II fell from HIS divine
lips and today this wicked age hates
the same truths as preached and taught
hy the Catholic church. The world hates
the only thing that can heal tho dis
eases that eat into It's very yitals-Cath-
ulc truth-uot that truth that lies un-
offensive In the pages Of q book; not
that truth flying as II shadow IN the
nir hut truth held in the very heart
OF II living society ana taught TO man
kind by that living society under tho
shadow Of divine authorization. This tho
world hates because such truths pandcr
rot to the base appctitcs OF fallen race
