He writes in haste as the holyday is calling part of his time. In the Ave Maria he finds something that pains him. This part is cut out of letter. It is taken from a liberal paper and why should we go to those corrupt sources for comparisons. That implies that Pius lacked the spirituality that Leo makes the sole agency of the Church. He asks Hudson if he can believe that the grand Pontificate of 32 years was temporal blundering and that suddenly there burst upon the world a Pontificate that has reversed all that and turned the tide of history and changed the hearts of nations? These comparisons are the work of the enemy and nullify Christian history. Pius warned against these dangers. He wrote to Hudson because he pained him to see this in the Ave Maria. It is to the memory of the Pope who proclaimed the Immaculate Conception and his children of the Ave Maria should learn to look upon him as a man of resources. :: X-2-e A.L.S. 3pp. 8vo.
