Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Church and the Age: An Exposition of the Catholic Church in View of the Needs and Aspirations of the Present Age
Intelligence and liberty are not a hindrance but a help to religious life; only false religion has reason to fear the spread of enlightenment and the enjoy ment of our free civil institutions while intellectual development and civil liberty have accelerated more than anything else the decay of Protestantism, they are calculated more than any other human environ ments to advance at the present time the progress of true supernatural life among men.
