Catholic Spain and Its Fruits
By Editor
A CORRESPONDENT of the Catholic Mirror in the issue of that paper of May 12, writing from Valencia, Spain, complains of the treatment of Spanish pilgrims to Rome by the Anarchists of Spain, who "insulted" and "murderously assaulted" all classes of the pilgrims, outdoing "in disrespect or religion [the papal] and its ministers, the most virulent anti-papist denizen of Schankill Road or Sandy Row." But it might be well to remind our Roman Catholic friends that all this occurred in Spain, Catholic Spain, so long loyal to the church, the home of the Inquisition. Alas, Spain is what Roman Catholicism has made her, and these persecutions are but the doings of Rome's own legitimate offspring!
