Excerpt from Nihil Obstat: Washington, D. C., Die 14 Junii 1916The truth of these words of the Sovereign Pontiff are in our times so evident to both Catholics and non-catholics that they naturally, as it were, turn to the heroic souls of Religion in al most every need and affliction of soul and body. Wherever the standard of the Cross has been carried, there divine Providence has chosen heroic souls to imitate the sacrifices and charity of the Crucified. For centuries these elect of God were banded together in Institutes called Orders which demanded of their members the profession of Solemn vows and generally also the observance of the Cloister. With the changed conditions of society it frequently became very difficult, and in some countries even impossible, to adhere to this ancient and approved mode of Religious life and still render to society that multifarious service which Christian charity inspires. Hence divine Providence as the Holy Father tells us, came to the rescue by providing Insti tutes which were adapted to our times and necessities.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
