A Modern Pest

 
1. "What ails modern society
     is separation
     of the spiritual
     from the material",
     says Glenn Frank.

2. "Secularism is a pest",
     says Pius XI.

3. When religion
     has nothing to do
     with education,
     education,
     education is only
     information;
     plenty of facts,
     but no understanding.

4. When religion
     has nothing to do
     with politics,
     politics is only
     factionalism:
     "Let's turn the rascals out
     so our good friends
     can get in."

5. When religion 
     has nothing to do
     with business,
     business is only 
     commercialism:
     "Let's get what we can
     while the getting is good."
