Let no one suppose that what is
here written is intended as a covert
attack upon the religion of Roman
Catholics. We are simply protest
ing against the interference of an.
institution which is primarily politi
cal and which has indoctrinated its
constituents, with the notion that its
political activities are inherently re
ligious. If Protestants, under any
sectarian name, had been known for
centuries as seeking first of all the
primacy of the person at the head
of their organization, in every con
ceivable relation of human life, we
should relentlessly expose the ma
chinations of such a body and de
mand that they be given no influen
tial part in determining questions
touching the alliance of Church and
State. Woodrow Wilson’s private
secretary, if he is an ardent Roman
ist, regards his obligation to the
Church as superior to his obligation
to the State. There is no parallel
to this in all Protestantism. If there
fore anyone who reads these senten
ces retorts that the alarm we raise
would not have been uttered against
a Protestant private secretary to the
President, we reply that, this is true,
because Protestantism being what it
is, we cannot conceive it possible that
any Protestant secretary would con
sciously imperil the principle of
separation of Church and State so
