 of our time, the overgrown luxury, the

 promotion of peace and of international 

 union." Are we to solve these problems

 The whole heart of Christendom cries out, 

 in its better moments, against such a 

 monstrous anomaly. May God hasten the 

 day when, through your prayers and 

 labors and sacrifices, and mine, it shall 

 cease to be !
