Spiritualism and Romanism.

The Literary Digest of Dec. 15, 1906, quoted a Jesuit father, G. G. Franco, as a believer in the facts of Spiritualism, and he states that this is in harmony with the church. He says: “In our time (1906) no one denies the real existence of spiritualistic occurrences, excepting certain men whose feet are on the earth, but whose wits go wool-gathering in the moon. To become actively engaged in it is forbidden for the present. The Sacred Roman Congregation decides: ‘As matters stand, it is not allowable.’” Sometime it will be in full harmony with the church. Spiritualism is in the Roman Church to-day in its adoration of saints.
