The great roots of all the evils that press upon society, and make man unhappy, are "the ignorance of the mind, and the depravity of the will. "
Hence he who wished to civilize the world, and thus assist in executing the plans of God's providence, must remove these two great root of evil by imparting to the mind infallibly the light of truth, and by laying down for the will authoritatively the unchangeable principles of morality.
If the hierarchy of the Catholic Church has accomplished in society this twofold task, then has it rendered itself worthy of the praises of all men, and deserves to be called the greatest, the most astonishing, the most divine fact in the history of the world - then the hierarchy of the Catholic Church is truly " the light of the world, and the salt of the earth."
