I came across this in the Catholic University of America archives recently:
"The history of the human race, from its first to its latest page, is a record of bitter conflict between those invested with authority on the one side, and those subject to it on the other. For two mighty forces have ever been at work in human society--the greed for power and the love of liberty; one manifesting itself in tyranny and usurpation, the other, unchecked, leading to chaos and anarchy. ..."
Read the full speech here.
What is saying the Cardinal William O'Connell is something like : there is the strong looking for tyranny, and there is the weak looking for anarchy.
