Catholic Politics and State Dominance
By Editor
The Christian Statesman gives this "pointer" to "our friends of the Papacy:" "If you want to practice your religion in peace in this land, and persuade the people that you mean well for all, then you must, somehow, get your fingers out of the politics of the country, and do as other denominations of Christians are doing,—attend to your own business, and not try to overturn the sacred institutions cemented with patriot blood and tears." On reading this "pointer" we were forcibly reminded of Rom. 2:1: "Therefore thou art inexcusable, O man, whosoever thou art that judgest; for wherein thou judgest another, thou condemnest thyself; for thou that judgest doest the same things." There is not a people in this whole land who attend more exclusively to their business than the Catholics. Their business everywhere, politically and religiously, is to bring about church dominance of the State, and in this, their business, their most pertinacious allies are the National Reform Association and the American Sabbath Union.
