Description
In the present work, written to meet an Irish Jesuit challenge, he takes the Republic of Ireland as an actual Catholic democratic State, described in terms of what its own citizens say of it; and he also takes these citizens themselves, the Irish people, as the missionaries of a spiritual empire long-since busy colonizing in all the English speaking-countries. This is a much more realistic way of driving home the original warning. It is also much more psychologically persuasive. For there are those who, left cold by arguments about abstract Catholic theory, can be made to sweat by descriptions of concrete Irish practice.
Biblio Notes
