"Judas gave greater scandal than even the High Priests: his conduct was more painful to Christ and to his Apostles, and to the whole Church, than was that of Pilate, or of those who nailed the Savior to the cross. Wherefore, warn all, not only against secret societies, but also against all societies of Catholics whose rules or practices are not in harmony with the spirit of the Church."
