It is error to believe that Every man is free to embrace and profess that religion which, guided by the light of reason, he shall consider true.

[Dr. Constain James] refuted so well the aberrations of Darwinism.... [A system] which is repugnant at once to history, to the tradition of all people, to exact science, to observed facts, and even to reason itself, would seem to need no refutation.

I have always condemned Liberal Catholicism and I will condemn it again forty times over if it be necessary.

Atheism in legislation, indifference in matters of religion, and the pernicious maxims which go under the name of Liberal Catholicism are the true causes of the destruction of states; they have been the ruin of France. Believe me, the evil I denounce is more terrible than the Revolution, more terrible even than The Commune. I have always condemned Liberal Catholicism, and I will condemn it again forty times over if it be necessary.

The state (the U.S. Constitution) has not the right to leave every man free to profess and embrace whatever religion he may desire.
