Note and Comment

The President’s message to the pope, in which reference was made to the probability of there being Catholic presidents in this country, is thus commented on by the New Voice:—
There is no good reason why a Catholic, as well as a Presbyterian or Methodist,should not be chosen for president—but one. So long as the pope claims that his church is paramount to our constitutional lawmaking power in temporal things, and his people accept the doctrine, no Catholic ought to be, or will be, elected to that office.
The reason given why there should not be a Catholic president here is clear enough; but the declaration that there never will be one is far from convincing.
