Montreal, Sept. s. 49, Father Bernard
Vaughan. who is noted in England for
his attacks on the vices and foIlies Of So
ciety. has created a sensation here by an
attack on divorce and race suicide"
Among other things. he said:
Surely it requires no prophet. or son
Of a prophet, nor even a single glance Of
the prophetic vision. TO foretell what in
few generations must be the respective
populations OF Catholics and non-Cath-
olics when the former repudiate alto
gether divorce and racial suicide while
the latter tolerate and practice both. I
say, ! repeat. that whenever racial sui
eide is practiced. whsther in France, in
England, or in the United States. or In
Canada, there non-Catholics are so heav-
lily hampering themselves in the race for
population with Catholics as to make it
a walkover for us.
Duties of Husbands.
While they will be out OF the run
ming. with all the vehemence Of my
soul l shout out to all whom il may con-
Germ: Acquit yourselves as men, be
real husbands. do your duty as fathers.
leave yourself in the hands OF God, for
the accomplishment of His will"
Father Vaughan condemned conditions
in France He went on:
It recommend that people TO change
their present motto and TO emblazon on
! their flag the words. Liberte Egaliteo
Maternite.' To England ] say. instead
OF calling together a royal commission
TO make divorce easier for the poor sum-
mon It 10 make divorce more difficult
for the rich. II you can. stop divorce
altogether. Go forth. say 1; increase and
multiply
Il have been accused OF publicly stat
| ing that Protestants are on the wane and
will soon cease TO be. What 1 did say,
and do not hesitate 10 repeat II. is that
! II racial suicide is not checked among
nom Catholics their numbers must neCes-
sarily decrease. TIL at length the death
rate, becoming greater than the birth
rate. there will be an appreciable shrink
/ age in the non-Catholic population.
Treason Against Creator.
It cannot conceive of worse policy
/ than that OF man and woman calling
themselves husband and wife shaking
their fists in the face OF tho Divine MAJ
esty Of God Almighty while shrieking out
at Him the defiance. You say increase
and multiply Not only do We despisC
the law. but we defy IT,.
Il call racial suicide constructive trea-
son against God. To live the married life
in order deliberately 10 spoil its sacred
/ consequences IS, IN my judgment, to live
In state OF legalized prostitution.
Il have nothing 10 say against Prot
estants. but I have a right TO judge
Professionalism. look and weigh Protest
antism in the scale OF the sanctuary. II
find IL wanting. I must say So"
