Catholic Newspapers in Germany

In 1861, a Jesuit priest tells us that the total number of subscribers to all the Catholic newspapers in Germany put together did not equal the number of Catholic priests in the country; but that now there are over a hundred subscribers to Catholic papers where there was one in 1861, the total number of subscribers actually standing at nearly seven millions. The Catholic population of Germany in December, 1905, stood at 22,094,492—more than 36 per cent of the total population. No wonder that the Catholic Center in the Reichstag is stronger than any Protestant forces. A very large element in the German Empire to-day is Socialistic and infidel.
