Rome Appeals for Help

At a meeting of the American Federation of Catholic Societies recently held in Milwaukee, Wis., a resolution was passed directing that the President of the United States and the American Congress be petitioned to the end that this government should “make vigorous protest to Portugal against the despoliation of Catholic church properties in that country.” Portugal has been a Catholic country for centuries. It is somewhat of an anomaly that Rome should feel it necessary to call upon a Protestant country to protect her against her own children in a country that has been subject to her undisputed sway for hundreds of years. It emphasizes the fact that where Rome rules unhindered she is finally unable to protect even her own interests.
