AN IMPORTANT PASTORAL.
Archbishop' ltedwood has issued an important pastoral letter on the subject of "Socialism.'? His Grace claims that Socialism assails Christianity, "because it is based upon principles, religious, philosophical and economic, which are directly antagonistic to divine revelation." He further claims that Socialism "would destroy the rights of property, that the experiment would prove a huge economic failure, and that so vast a revolution could not be effected without the most awful bloodshed * ever seen in the world." "Accordingly, n he concludes, "we solemnly warn Catholics to keep aloof from all Socialistic propaganda . . . Eschew it in every shape and. form, and follow the noble ideal of justice to all." The Archbishop lias preached many sermons, but none more pointed than this. The pastoral will create a profound sensation throughout- New Zealand.
