TO THE CATHOLIC LAYMEN OF THE AMERICAN CHURCH IN WHOSE HANDS THE FUTURE LIES
NOTE.
The following Essay was read before the Clerical Union of New York City in June last, and has been, in an abbreviated form, published in The American Church Monthly. It has now been further elaborated, and the author submits it to his brethren with the hope that it may prove a small contribution towards the solution of an important issue in the Church. He fully recognizes that the subject is a perplexing one, and often the historical facts are difficult of access as well as interpretation. As an aid to the future study of the problem he would be grateful for correction and criticism both from those who are at agreement with his stand-point, and those who may oppose it.
