...list of issues for the next campaign, Senator Borah, the leader of his own one-man bloc in the Senate, had something to say about the next election. Into a speech at Akron, Ohio, he ventured to inject two sentences-by a little rhetorical device dating back to the Roman Re- public-two sentences that caused no little stir in political circles. "I do not turn aside to discuss," said he with studied innocence, "third party movements. Such a movement is not impossible, not even improbable." This declaration he made in a speech which was in reality an excoriation...
Thus, the latest horror of the Bolshevik regime is the trial of Archbishop Zepliak and 15 other priests of the Roman Catholic Church. The case for the prosecution is that the priests occasioned the use of violence by resisting Soviet agents in the course of their duty, which was to confiscate church property. The defense is that the church treasures neither belong to the Roman Catholic Church in Russia nor to the Russian people, but to the Church in Rome...
Assumption College, at Worcester, Mass., suffered $200,000 fire loss, after an anonymous letter had been sent to the president of this Roman Catholic institution. In a previous issue TIME gave an account of the unprecedented number of fires in Canadian Catholic churches. These losses seem insignificant when compared with the great building plans of Roman Catholics. Fifteen million dollars' worth of contracts have been signed for the coming year.

Chancellor Day was not only an antagonist of Roosevelt during Roosevelt's trust-busting days, he was also anti-Wilson, anti-League, anti-experiment of every kind. He ruled Syracuse with a Roman discipline. He believed implicitly in the Constitution of the Fathers. He believed in the established order. Briefly, he was a reactionary; and a reactionary born and not made. It may be demonstrable that Mr. Archbold supported Syracuse because he sympathized with the opinions of Chancellor Day. But it would take temerity even now to maintain that Chancellor Day held those...
Pope Leo XIII, link between the 19th and 20th centuries, laid down the dogmatic system of Aquinas as the " norm" of Roman Catholic teaching. Pius X, in 1907, blasted all " modernism" by an encyclical (Pascendi Dominici) which emphasized the central Catholic idea of Authority. Abbe Loisy in France, Father Tyrrell in England, and Father Zahm in America were promptly excommunicated. Whether or not the Vatican has merely scotched the snake, modernism (in the " dangerous " sense) is not now visible within its broad domains. Hilaire Belloc, brilliant Catholic now visiting America, tells the world it needs Authority, which means dogma personified...
