Algernon Cecil

Algernon Cecil (pronounced 'Sissil')
1879-1953

"...Cecil’s insight was such that his
utterances were sometimes prophetic. As
long ago as 1925, for instance, he had
warned in his collected Catholic essays, A
Dreamer in Christendom, that liberalismsocialism
threatened society itself: “Let
parents part from one another when they
please, and children be advised to think
about religion as they like, and the
inheritance of property be identified with
theft and a whole civilization will be
presently put out, and that civilization one
that has served us well..."
