Whilst the bolshevist President of Mexico is intent on confiscating the property of Americans, he is saga- cious enough to appeal to the bigots of this Nation, currying favor with them by his persecution of the church, in order to silence their pro- tests against his injustice to Ameri- can citizens. Archbishop Curley outlined the early persecution of Christianity the Romans, declaring that Catholicity has survived and will continue to survive, n The church has never bartered principle.

But, he declared, “we are| not concerned with colonial intoler- | ance,” which he said was legalized in many State constitutions. Today, he sald, religious freedom is guaranteed by every State constitution and the Constitution of the United States,and of present day intolerance he sald: “There is no truth in the statement that intolerance is confined to a few and the ignorant few, It is found in | oceurred « | of its s the minds and hearts of men occupy~ ing places in the learned professions. It can be met with among preachers and presidents, lawyers and legisla- tors, scientists and ‘senators, judges and juries, poets and professors.” The archbishop declared that Amer- fcan religious intolerance seems to be an_intolerance only one religion, and that the Catholic religion. Mem. bers of Protestant faith, he said, are not handicapped by their religious affiliation in their attempt to6 rise in civio life, contending 'that “it is only when a man is Catholio that he falls under suspiclon” and his loyalty ques- tloned, despite pages of history that testify to the work of the members of that faith. Views on Protestantism, Of Protestant the churchman said: “There s of broad-minded and tants {n this country very many fair and just ministers, but after 17 vears in the Southland and six on the fringe of the North, I must say in all irank- ness that the bitterness of the Klan preacher and the legion character of his number are a standing disgrace of Protestantism, a flagrant mocking of the spirit of Christ, and a menace to our national well being.” i s who have allled them- | selves to | must. be . mutilations, flog ilts which have sibility for mu nd other ng the past five years in this country, Archbishop Curley de- Among the “forces of inteler- ance” the speaker included “the Know Nothing movement, the A, P.
