To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Deny the duty of loving your country, and you deny your own feel- ings; you deny mankind itself. Deny the duty of loving your country, and, I say it emphatically, you reap contempt and execration. 2d. But, if to love our country is a duty, it is also a virtue ; for virtue is nothing else than the performance of our duties, and the value of any virtue is measured by the degree of punc- tuality and purity shown in fulfilling our duties. This duty of loving our country, which nature and society im...pose upon us, is more strictly enforced by Christian Catholic religion. As Christian Catholics, we are followers of Christ, lie came on earth Reformer and Redeemer, not to dissolve the national and social duties, but to encourage and help us to their more perfect fulfillment. A Catholic that loves not his country does not understand his religion. Take the Holy Scriptures, which is the book of Christianity and Catholicity ; look from beginning to end over those pages, and see that no one is celebrated there as a saint or a great man who was not at once faithful to his God and ever affectionate to his country.
