Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Catholic Socialism
The social question - for, in the clear light of facts, who can deny that it exists - is not only based on an economic problem, but constitutes of itself a vast moral problem, the resolution of which modern society may try to delay, but which sooner or later must be faced.
It is the Sphinx of modern times, and we stand in the presence of the same cruel dilemma which in by gone days tortured other societies no less ?ourishing, no less endowed with intellectual light than is our modern society cruel dilemma which. If we would not perish, must be solved.
If in spite of our criticisms and its own errors and uncertainties, Socialism has spread so rapidly, it means that within its very nature lies a great moral force, which we may indeed refuse to acknowledge but cannot suppress.
