When men reject Our Lord Jesus Christ, they tend inevitably to put themselves in the place of God. This is what the French Masons did and this is what they succeeded in doing officially in the name of France in 1789. It is precisely in this putting of human reason in the place of God that Rationalism consists, and this is what we find in the Declaration of 1789.

It is not to be wondered at, that Pope Leo XIII felt compelled to condemn the spirit animating Revolutionary legislation and it's provisions. He did this in no uncertain terms in his Encyclical Letter, Immortale Dei, On the Christian Constitution of States (1 November 1885). ".... The authority of God is passed over in silence, just as if there were no God...or as if men whether in their individual capacity or bound together in social relations, owed nothing to God...

"On the other hand, we are not left in doubt about what the enemies of Christ and of the Supernatural Life think of the Revolution. 'Long live Liberty, Equality, Fraternity! That is the favourable time for us.'"
