This aspect of the problem, always in the foreground, but heretofore rather problematical in its significance, has recently taken a more definite shape, and where anti-Catholic prejudice seemed to have been some what alloyed, it is now logical to expect that this factor will again come into prominence. A recent editorial in Osservatore Romano, the official mouthpiece of the Vatican, is reported as being an attack...
