The many bloody twvolutlens of the past, and this ladt world war, prove * e ~. : that the nations are willing to pay the highest price for Christian freedom and dvllxatlou, as against despotism and pious absolutism. Th* world has officially fAluded eccleslseticism from all affair* of the State, because of having found Its pious and actual In trigue* f6r absolutism against common right, a source of corruption and revo lution against constituted, representa tive and just authority. Divine Provi dence has endowed'mankind with aa Irresistible instinct of revolt against selfish leaders, who practice a double standard of moraltty. Christ Himself has denounced such falfte and faithless leaders, aad has told, Hla followers to hate their iniquity.
