No comments on It is Necessary that Christians Exist with the People

Jacques Maritain

Pope Pius XI’s statement on “the great scandal of the nineteenth century” has often been quoted, and rightly so. The working class turned away from the Church because the Christian world had turned away from the working class. For the people to exist with Christ, it is necessary that Christians exist with the people.
Jacques Maritain (1882–1973)
