"The very purpose of the organization is contrary to the Catholic doctrine of freedom of the will and, obviously, none of the churches' Bishops can do other otherwise - wise otherwise than repudiate the same. It may be that one or two Catholics, for reasons of their own, have banded together in an organization of this kind, but that is their own affair. They have no right, however, to make it appear that the Ca Catholic - tholic Catholic Church as such is behind the movement or even that it has the moral support of any of the Bishops of this state.

The old heretical sect of the nianachees, undone by the logic and eloquence of St. Augustine, finds its counterpart on our own soil in the prohibition party." Speaking of the attempt of some Ca Catholics - tholics Catholics to bring the church into politics, the Columbus prelate says: "How wan wanton - ton wanton and false are the movements of those who would dishonor their royal mother by attempting to make her a scullion in political trickery."
