Roman Catholicism in New England

By Editor

Roman Catholicism in New England.—Referring to the decay of religion, the decrease of population, and increase of poverty in New England, James R. Randall, writing for the Catholic Mirror, recalls the warning of Elizabeth Cady Stanton, who predicted that if the people of New England did not follow God's order of multiplying and replenishing the earth, instead of reversing it, "the descendants of the Celt would trample on the graves of the Puritans." Mr. Randall remarks: "This is being rapidly accomplished, for the prolific, God-fearing Catholic Irish, German, and French Canadians are inheriting the land, and will dominate it in the twentieth century." And he speaks truly.
