Principles of Freedom

CHAPTER XII
9/19

There is a type of Catholic and Protestant who has as little genuine religion in him as any infidel, who does not deny the letter of the law, but who does not observe its spirit, whose only use for the letter is to criticise and harass adversaries.

Observe the high use he has for liberty--drinking, card-playing, gambling, luxury; he has no place in his life for any worthy deeds, nay, only scorn for such.

Still he passes for orthodox.

If he is a Catholic, he secures that by putting in an appearance at Mass on Sundays.

His mind is not there; he arrives late and goes early.
