Letter to Cardinal John Carmel Heenan, 18 October 1968 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03) |
 | | Your predecessor as Cardinal Archbishop of Westminster founded a truly providential institution, destined by God’s grace to grow and flourish, when as a young priest, one hundred years ago, he established in collaboration with another priest and a noble laywoman the admirable organization known as the Catholic Truth Society. |
 | | The apostolic zeal and generous cooperation of clergy and laity have resulted in a century of dissemination of the truths of the Faith among Catholics and others, in your own country and in many lands abroad, and of increased devotion among the faithful. |
 | | The sincerest judgement on the meritorious success of the Catholic Truth Society is manifested by the foundation of similar associations in other English-speaking countries of the world, which following the programme of your institution, have reaped rich harvests of spiritual enlightenment and grace. |
