ABSTRACT
The fact is that while in some parts of the world, although the constitutions and laws may offer a measure of protection to the exercise of freedom of speech, press, and assembly, the line is drawn at efforts by an unpopular religious sect to distribute literature, to preach openly, or to engage in any other form of sectarian propaganda or missionary work. Communism will pass from the world, but a religious rift in Spain would be permanent and would give rise to the most bloody civil struggles. The law is not interested either in the content - the truth or falsity - of sermons, or in the manner in which they are delivered, or whether they are preached by ministers of popular or of unpopular sects. In England there is an Established Church, and all other Protestant churches are known as Free Churches. In the United States, every church is a Free Church.
