Show Socialistic Marriage. Archbishop Messmer of Milwaukee says "that under socialism the family, as at present, will be unnecessary, as the socialist society will take care of the children and will leave men and women free to follow their natural in clination for indiscriminate unions. Ths socialistic marriage is sinmply the temporal tem-poral union of man and woman as lon as they agree to remain united. It suffices suf-fices merely to state these fundamental doctrines of socialism on church and state, family, marriage and education, to see that there is, as the Pope says, a difference between socialism and! Christianity; there cannot be a greater one. This explains the great hatred of socialist writers and leaders against the church, who have publicly declared that there cannot be peace between socialism so-cialism and the Catholic church. When we take up the battle against socialism it merely follows tie command of the head of the church. It becomes the clear duty of every Catholic to study the question thoroughly and to use all his influence to counteract the efforts of this enemy of the church." |
