Catholicism and Communism

THE Catholic Review denounces communism and rejoices that no Catholics are communists. Of course, the papacy both fears and hates the commune, for the spirit of the commune is passionate hatred of the church and religion. But the Review ought to remember that nearly all the communists of the world to-day were once Roman Catholics, and that their present attitude is a violent reaction from the superstition and formality of popery. And if the communists are not Catholics, the Mollie Maguires were, and Catholic newspapers conspicuously fomented their discontent, palliated their crimes, and fostered their excuses. —Christian Statesman.
