Roman Catholicism and Americanism
WE note the following in the Pittsburg Christian Advocate of a recent date:— The Washington Post's report of the annual banquet of the alumni association of the American College at Rome, some time ago in Washington, makes the statement that “Bishop Kelley said, among other things: ‘I am a Catholic first, an American after—and a long way after. I am not an American Catholic, but a Roman Catholic.’ He had, he said, no sympathy with nationalizing Catholicism.” Well, that is about what we have ever believed as to the real spirit of a very large number of the leading members of the Roman Catholic hierarchy in America. Americans, take notice!
