Catholic Support for Woman Suffrage

By Editor

THE Brooklyn Catholic Examiner quotes with the highest approval an article in the North American Review, from Bishop Spalding, advocating Woman Suffrage. It says: "The smart men of the press may laugh at the idea of woman suffrage, but we are not sure that it is a thing to be laughed at. . . . The world moves. The end is not yet, and he is a rash prophet who would say that women will not some time have a voice in the Government of the land for which they bear and educate rulers." Without a doubt the thing will eventually be accomplished; and when it is, if the Catholic Examiner is consistent, it will advocate the appointment of women as bishops, etc.
