Your final allegation to the effect
that there is nowhere published an

are real candid about it, is all wrong;
because you can procure them any

admit that the nature of a Catholic

be useless to forbid anything on that

how one of its vOtaries can praise its
accomplishments with nations in one
breath and in the next to allow it's
helplessness in the face of individual
human nature, when it's power to
overcome and elevate same should be
its strongest claim.
