“There is no reason why a Catholic should not be a follower of George or agree with his practical proposal...Henry George did not in the least mean that the land should be administered by the State in a Socialist system...So far from this principle destroying the private possession of land, it would on the contrary cause private possession to be much more widely diffused than at present...It may well be argued that Henry George’s distinction between possessor and owner is little more than the re-establishment of the old Catholic land system...” English National Catholic Newspaper: Men & Movements 1941/5/17
