te 5315: "La Charite a Nancy," by Abbe Girard, p. 245.--The
same judgment is confirmed by the Rev. T. W. Allies, in a "Journal d'un
voyage en France," 1848, p. 291. "The dogma of the real presence is the
centre of the whole religious life of the Church (Catholic): it is the
secret support of the priest in his mission, so painful and so
filled with abnegation. It is by this that the religious orders are
maintained."]

[Footnote 5316: This question is examined by St. Thomas in his Summa
Theologica.]

[Footnote 5317: For the past twenty years, owing to the researches of
psychologists and physiologists, we have begun to know something of the
subterranean regions of the mind and the latent processes taking place
there. The storing, the residue and unconscious combination of images,
the spontaneous and automatic transformation of images into sensations,
the composition, disassociations and splitting into dual personalities
of the ego, the alternate or simultaneous coexistence of two, or more

accomplished later and at fixed dates, the chock of the return from
the inside to the outside, and the physical effect on the nervous
extremities of the mental sensations, all these late discoveries have
resulted in a new conception of mind, and psychology, thus renewed,
throws a sharp light on history.]

these "kingdoms of the world or of the century," as they appeared to

must consider, confronting the Church, by way of contrast and in full
relief, the pagan and Roman world, the life of the day, especially in
the baths, at the circus, in the theatre, the gratuitous supplies of
food, of physical enjoyments and of spectacles to the idle populace of
the towns, the excesses of public and private luxury, the enormity of
unproductive expenditure, and all this in a society which, without
our machines, supported itself by hand-labor; next, the scantiness and
dearness of available capital, a legal rate of interest at twelve
per cent, the latifundia, the oberati, the oppression of the working
classes, the diminution of free laborers, the exhaustion of slaves,
depopulation and impoverishment, at the end the colon attached to
his glebe, the workman to his tool, the curiale to his curie, the
administrative interference of the centralized State, it
