Excerpt from The Catholic Mind, Vol. 24: June 22, 1926
Therefore, I take pride to stand here in the name of Christ as a priest of the Catholic Church ordained and sent to preach His message to the men and women who are patiently doing the hard work of this everyday world. I think with the Popes and Bishops of the last half cen tury that social charity and social justice are the greatest need of the world to-day, and woe to us if we do not teach and preach them, and woe to the industrial and social order of the world if it despise the Christian moral message of the Church and her divine founder, for there is no other power under heaven whereby it shall be saved.
There have been in this world in historic times only two civilizations, a pagan and a Christian. They have met and joined in mortal combat, now one is triumphing and now the other. The dominant outstanding note in a pagan civilization is this, that it tries to crowd down and enslave Labor, while a Christian civilization tries to emancipate and elevate the workingman. 'in historic times the Roman Catholic Church has always been the greatest friend of Labor. Capitalism of the soulless, Godless kind has existed in Pagan times as well as in Christian, and the Catholic Church again and again has joined in deadly battle with this capitalism in its attempts to crowd down and enslave Labor.
