Recording by Scott Foster
The War of Antichrist with the Church and Christian Civilization by Monsignor George F.
Dillon Preface.
The following pages contain the substance of two lectures given a few months ago in Edinburgh.
The selection of subjects upon which they treat, and indeed the fact of their being delivered at all, were, it may be said, accidental.
The author, a missionary priest, was, after over twenty years labor in Australia, compelled for health reasons to visit Europe, and during the past season took advantage of an opportunity to make a tour through Scotland.
His object, in visiting that historic land, was first to gratify his Scotch friends and converts in Australia by a sojourn, however brief, in a country, and in several special localities of it, which he knew to be very dear to them.
And next to satisfy his own desire of seeing the progress of religion in that, as well as in the other portions of the British Islands which he had already visited.
The condition of the Church in Ireland and her advance amidst the adverse influences with which she has had to contend in England and Scotland are of intense interest to Australian Catholics, and an Australian missionary who visits these countries is supposed to bring back much information regarding the state of religion in each one of them.
Scotland, besides, is so full of historic reminiscences and so favoured by nature with splendid scenery that a visit to Europe is incomplete without a look upon its rugged hills, its romantic lakes, and lovely valleys, now made so interesting by the works of Sir Walter Scott and other writers.
The land once evangelized by Columba and his bands of missionary saints has besides an indescribable charm for a Catholic missionary.
He went, therefore, with great pleasure to Scotland, and he cannot speak too highly or too thankfully of the kindness which the venerable archbishop of Glasgow, the bishops and the clergy he happened to meet with, showed him.
But with the exception of a Sunday sermon to oblige the good pastor of whatever locality he happened to pass through, it was his fixed intention not to speak publicly during his rather rapid progress through the country.
It happened, however, that on coming to Edinburgh he found an old and very dear friend and college companion, in charge of the most populous Catholic district of the metropolis, and in deference to the earnest solicitations of that friend, he departed from his resolution, and gave during the few days his stay lasted, first, a lecture on secret societies for the benefit of a large and flourishing Catholic association for men, and secondly, as a sequel to that, a lecture on the second
consider on the spoliation of the propaganda.
Both lectures were delivered extemporaneously, that is to say, so far as the language which conveyed their substance was concerned.
