Church Allegiance Versus State Allegiance

By The Eye

THE Catholic World gives the exact situation in a nutshell. It says: “We are purely and simply Catholic, and profess an unreserved allegiance to the church, which takes precedence of, and gives the rule to, our allegiance to the State.” And yet we have acquaintances who became exceedingly angry when in argument they were “cornered” by the statement that no true Catholic can be a good American citizen.—The Eye.
