Finotti thanks Clarke for the very interesting pamphlet on Gladstone. What a strange situation the Church is in because of the persecution our Holy Mother is suffering. Moreover, where in the stage of persecution for the last 19 centuries could it be said as now, the powers of hell have been so let loose. The United States has deceived itself in the boast of the Church flourishing in the brick and stone of our churches an institutions. Meanwhile they pay the devil a percentage of half the Catholic souls. The attentive student of the "position" of the American Church sickens at heart when he hears the poor Holy Father getting motives of comfort from the Church in the United States! While they spent millions in Grand Cathedrals and Episcopal Palaces thousands of young people are left in the cold world without instructions. What is done to provide Seminarians as they ought to be? Finotti is sick almost to despair on the subject. :: I-2-n A.L.S. 2pp. 8vo.
