Soys Opponents To
Commandments
Promote Chaos
VATICAN CITY, (NC) — His
Holiness Pope John XXIII told a
pilgrimage of workingmen that
“nothing closely touching your
persons or your working bto-
thers throughout the world es
capes Our notice.”
The Pope, in what was interp
reted as a reference to commun
ism, declared:
“Whoever opposes himself to
the Ten Commandments and to
the Gospel is a promoter of cha
os. Whoever stands with the Ten
Commandments and the Gospej
hastens the arrival of an era of
more mature social sense.”
The 700 workers on pilgrim
age, were all employes of a scaf
folding firm in the industrial
city of Milan, where comm unisip
once had a strong influence
among workingmen.
