must no longer consider religion as
a private matter, but must on the
other hand proclaim as incompatible
the profession of any one of the many
religious beliefs, which, while they
admit Truth as revelation, fetter the
free evolution of reason and the hui
man intellect, and cleverly taking ad-
vantage OF fundamental canons and
outward manifestations of religion,
carry on work of conservatism in
the political and economic field-recog-
nize the necessity that on the prac-
tical ground of daily life every Social
list, in order to become and remain
such, must abandon absolutely and en-
tirely each and every form of religious
practice"
Pope Urges More Liberty.-In an
address to French and Italian pill
grims, written by the Pope and deliv-
cred in his behalf recently, in the Con-
sistorial Hall, the Pontiff complained
against the laws of religious liberty
existing in certain Catholic countries.
It was understood the Pope referred
to lands which have laws against re-
ligious orders. He said that in these
countries the Catholic Church, unlike
citizens, is not permitted to own prop
erty. He declared also that the lib
erty of the press is degenerating into
license in its criticism of religion.
