As the cure for tyranny, lie point-
ed out the necessity of religious and
moral training in our schools. “The
states may, if they choose, ass:st, the {
children to go to tint schools they I
wish. There is no such thing as a I
neutral education. If education docs
not have a moral flavor, it will de-
velop an immoral flavor, even com- !
munistic or socialistic. Thev must be!
either religious or non religious. Itj
is important to bring religion back,
because freedom is being threatened)
bv the state. We must live under the]
omniponteneo of God or the omnipo- j
fence of tho state.”
“The last one fourth of this cen-
tury- stands as a failure by colleges
to see a world chaos. There is no
record of educators to forestall Naz-
ism, Fascism, or Communism. Some
professors even taught communism.
The first to capitulate to the Nazis
will tie tho non religious groups. The
only groups which have stood against
tiro Nazis have been the religious
groups. For example, the Lutheran j
pastor Mueller of Hamburg, Ger-
many-, is now a prisoner of the Ger-
mans. We most start, talking atimit
our duty to religion rather than onr
right to religion. Given another God
less generation, democracy will fall.”
In closing Father Tierney gave for
an example a young Nazi officer, who
was taking his wife to the hospital.
