Show CHURCH AND STATE. Many people in this country think that the fieht for separation of church and state in France is a conflict between the Protestant and Catholic churches. It is not that at all. The preat majority of people in France are Roman Catholics. Many of those in authority are Catholics; very few are Protestants. Really, the Free Masons are in control, hut j there is a feeling all over southern Europe that a union of church and state in the Government ought to be done away with, for our republic's advance has caused men to believe that a union of civil and religious government in some way strikes at the best prosperity and best manhood of a people. "Give unto Caesar the things that are Caesar's." |
