This Month’s Quotation

“The masses are ignorant and will always be so in regard to the fundamental problems of social life.”
— A Catholic Archbishop

The passage quoted is taken from a pastoral letter issued by the new Spanish Primate, Cardinal Isisoro Goma, Archbishop of Toledo. (See News Chronicle, March 16th, 1937.) The Archbishop also praises the Italian capitalists for their conquest of Abyssinia—”A work of civilisation”—and declares that “It is Spain’s providential mission to save Christian civilisation from Marxism.”
