Excerpt from Great Britain and Rome: Or Ought the Queen of England to Hold Diplomatic Relations With the Sovereign Pontiff?

Limiting ourselves for the moment to its internal life, the British Empire numbers amongst its subjects no less than ten millions of Roman Catholics. They are to be found in masses in Ireland, Canada, Malta, and Gibral tar, as well as in the great centres of commerce and indus try throughout Great Britain. They permeate the organi sation of the Empire, taking part in most of the func tions of the State, from those of members of the Privy Council or of Viceroy of India, to those of the lowest official under the Crown; and in the social order the positions they occupy extend from that of the first duke Of the realm to that of the needy poor in the work house. Their well-being must necessarily be one factor in the well-being of the whole nation.
