While Charles Phillips, editor of The Monitor, praises Theodore Roosevelt’s sentiments in wishing for greater cooperation between Catholics and Protestants, he criticizes Roosevelt’s specific praise of the Y. M. C. A. in this regard, as that organization does not allow Catholics to hold office. Phillips attests that the Y. M. C. A. “deliberately falsified its real attitude toward Catholics, in order to get money out of them for its new building.” While he acknowledges the good work the organization does, Phillips strongly objects to this hypocrisy and believes that Roosevelt will eventually agree with this sentiment.
