Secularism is a smoke screen. Behind it the Roman Catholic hierarchy mobilizes to secure public funds for the support of parochial education. The ultimate objective is the destruction of the American principle of the separation of church and state. The campaign began on November 20 in the U.S. the Roman Catholic bishops issued a statement called "The Christian in Action." Protestants and Jews will join Roman Catholics in an honest attack on secularism. They will refuse to become allied with an attempt to establish clericalism. The term clericalism is defined as the pursuit of power, especially political power, by a religious hierarchy, carried on by secular methods and for purposes of social domination.
