CARDINAL MORAN ON PATRIOTISM.
Cardinal Moran, in the course of a speech at the fourth annual breakfast of the Catholic Young Men's Union in Sydney, said some people thought patriotism was identified with politics. He did not agree with that. For his part he would keep aloof entirely from the field of politics, but in patriotism he felt himself bound to be associated with everyone who was interested, honest, and noble in the country. Patriotism did not mean political intrigue or political associations, but it meant a desire to promote everything that was good and everything that was in the interests of one's country. It was a Divine sentiment implanted in the heart—not a mere human sentiment as was the matter of politics.
