ABSTRACT
The Church asks not are the people rich but are they good, not are they clever, but are they chaste? Not is the nation powerful...but is it pious? And so when we hear the specious argument advanced...that Catholic countries are poor and Protestant countries are rich ...Catholics are not deceived by the glamour of success and the glitter of wealth...lay up not treasure on earth... what profiteth it a man if he gain the whole world and suffer the loss of his own soul?...these and other evangelical precepts are quite familiar and natural to Catholics. (Graham 1912)
