Show AGAINST THE CHURCH. Cardinal Logue, Primate of Ireland in St. Patrick's cathedral, New York, last Sunday, denounced the new republic re-public of Portugal as an enemy of the Church. "We live in an evil age," said His Eminence, ;'an age of materialism, an age when men's minds are given to materialistic pursuits. The "latest instance in-stance of this is the new political crisis in Portugal. One of the first acts of these men was to turn themselves them-selves against the Church and to expel ex-pel the nuns and the monks the servants ser-vants of the Church. That is an instance in-stance of how men act in the present age. "I do not find fault with the mere form of government, for the Church recognizes all monarchies, republics or oligarchies provided that the government gov-ernment is directed and regulated by the law of God. Ostensibly the new government in Portugal was started in the name of freedom, but in reality it was a blow against the Church. It Is an infidel movement. No doubt about that." |
