President Roosevelt thanks Eugene A. Philbin for his letter, and is pleased to know that many people in the Catholic hierarchy understand the situation with Maria Longworth Storer. Roosevelt agrees with Philbin’s comment that the situation shows why church and state need to be kept apart, and comments that Storer “could not get rid of the idea that there ought to be church politicians as well as state politicians and that they should enter into reciprocal obligations with one another.”
