The Decline of Religion

CARDINAL GIBBONS was recently asked whether he believed that the people of America were growing better, from a religious point of view. In reply the Cardinal said, in part:—
It is hard to answer that question on definite lines. In their respect for religion I am afraid the people of America are not what they were fifty or sixty years ago.
The fact stated by Cardinal Gibbons is so patent to any unprejudiced observer that it is difficult to understand how intelligent men can make any claim to the contrary, and yet some are asserting that the millennium is just at hand. It certainly can not be the millennium of righteousness.
