LAST DITCH OF DEMOCRACY - Majority Rights

élan, less enthusiasm than one associates with feelings about a Yale-
Princeton game.
I have known men go into the church from policy. I can recall one
serious Christian, the head of Fordham University. When I talk into [the]
microphone, I have to think of at least one or more people who might
conceivably understand what I am saying. I should like someone to
notify Father Miller or any other serious Christian that I propose to
speak on the topic: what is wrong with Christianity? And the answer is:
it is completely DEmoralized. I mean that in [the] strict sense, ALL
morality has been carefully and gradually and over a period of centuries

false accountancy system. That is one phase. Temple prayin’ for the nogodites
in Cuntyburry Cathedrau. That’s another. Identification of
Christianity with greed. The American Catholic bishop’s economic
manifesto, that is a sign the other way. I will allude to that some time.

at least four or five universities. How does ethics match up with
Christianity, I mean Christianity on the hoof, as preached and as

areas hither an’ yon. Abyssinia, Balkans (proverbial powder keg), Skoda
gun works. NOT for any honest avowable aim. Simply for [the] sake of
having something into which war torch can be thrown. All blessed by the
