...Hosts of Roman Catholics flock to Rome in a Jubilee year. In 1450, so great was the crowd that passed over the bridge of St. Angelo, that the bridge collapsed with great crash and carnage. This year, streams of the faithful from all parts of the world are already starting on their pilgrimage. In Manhattan, a prelate gave them warning: "For a great many, I fear, the pilgrimage will resolve itself into a de luxe sightseeing tour of Europe. To many it will be an opportunity of visiting the Europe which, to them, is bounded by the boulevards of Paris...
Greek Catholics, Roman Catholics, and Mohammedans divide the country with their quarrels. Bands of Jugo-Slavs, Bulgarians, and Greeks war incessantly upon each other.

I do formally challenge you to show cause for making your amazing statement. For my own part, I deny it explicitly...
Last week, Mr. Chapman answered Mr. Cram: "I refer you to the history of the papacy. . . . Let us look about us. We see the Roman Catholic Church in every branch of its discipline, whether in its universities, seminaries, schools, monasteries, convents or in the parochial commands that are read aloud in its churches, openly drilling its adherents into contempt for American institutions and especially proclaiming its intention to control our education . . . With regard to the Board of Fellows of Harvard ... I call your attention to the fact that Bishop Lawrence has not yet noticed my letter...
