(Special to The Bulletin)
ATLANTA, Ga.—Plans for the
Catholic Conference on Industrial
Problems which will be held at the
Ansley Hotel here on February 8
and 9, at the invitation of His Ex
cellency the Most Rev. Cferald P.
O'Hara. Bishop of Savannah-At
lanta. were formulated at an en
thusiastic meeting held at the
Knights of Columbus Home here
on the evening of January 19.
The meeting, which was con
ducted by the Rt. Rev. Monsignor
Joseph E. Moylan, rector of the
Cathedral of Christ the King, was
well attended by members of the
clergy and laity, from this city and
other places in Georgia.
Monsignor Moylan in opening
the meeting stressed the impor
tance of the conference, explaining
its origin and pi/'pose. It was
interesting to now, he said, that
the conference came into existence
some twenty years ago for the sole
purpose of disseminating Catholic
social teaching on industrial life.
He called to mind the great En
cyclical of Pope Leo XIII on "The
Condition or'Labor”, and said that
if the world had listened to the
teachings of His Holiness, the con
fusion a,ud bloodshed of our day
might have been averted. He call
ed upon Catholics to spread the
sound social doctrine of the En
cyclical of Leo XIII and the more
recent Encyclical of Pope Pius XI
on ‘ Reconstructing the .Social
Order”. He said that Catholics
have much to contribute to the
solution of economic ills and to
a right social order, if they accept
their responsibility and do their
part.
Monsignor Moylan called upon
^lliss Linna E. Bresette, the Field
Secretary of the Social Action De
partment of the National Catholic
Welfare Conference, to outline the
program. Miss Bresette explained
that the program of the Confer
ence is built on the highlights of
the Encyclicals and that the theme
of the Encyclicals running
throughout the Conference pro
gram. sets it apart from other in
dustrial conferences. Miss Bre
sette said the Conference will fol
low its regular procedure of pre
senting problems of vital interest
to the country at large, having
someone at each session to pre
sent the moral principles of Chris
tian Charity and Social Justice,
which should be applied to their
solution.

IN A NOTABLE SERMON, de
livered recently, the Most Rev
Johannes Dietz, Bishop of Fulda,
and broadcast over the Vatican
Radio in German, expressed re
gret that here is so much propa
ganda against the Christian faith
and the Christian order of life in
Germany. In the course of his
sermon, Bishop Dietz said: “We
Catholics can also derive great
satisfaction from the words spoken
by a non-Christian professor of the
Imperial University of Tokyo
after his return from a prolonged
trip in Europe. He said: ‘The
Catholic Church is the most power-,
ful and the most perfect supreme
organization in human history. The
most profound form of Christian
ity is the one centered in Rome’.”
INTRODUCTION OF THE
CAUSE of beatification of Pope
Pius X was discussed by the
Sacred Congregation of Rites on
January 19. The cause was first
proposed in a resolution consid
ered in 1923 and preliminary in
vestigations already have been
conducted in the Diocese of Trav-
iso, Mantova, Venice and Rome.
In November, 1942, the Congre
gation issued a decree, which ap
proved writings collected and re
viewed by a Commission, under
the presidency of His Eminence
Francesso Cardinal Marchetti-
Selvaggiani. The Postulate of
the cause is the Rev. Albert Par-
ente, O. S. B.
VICE-PRESIDENT WALLACE,
distinguished jurists, members of
the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives, envoys of more than a
score of countries and high Gov
ernment officials were among
those attending the annual Red
Mass in the crypt of "he National
Shrine of the Immaculate Con
ception on the campus of the
Catholic University of America.
Post-War Cooperation
Aim of Federal Council
of Churches Resolution
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
CLEVELAND—Post-war cooper
ation is the subject of the following
resolution adopted at the final
session of the Federal Council of
the Churches of Christ in Ameri
ca at Us meeting held here:
“We rejoice in the evidence of
growing collaboration between
Protestants and Roman Catholics in
various countries in problems of
reconstruction after war. In coun
tries occupied by the Nazis Cath
olic and Protestant leaders are co
operating in resistance to tyranny
and the attempted invasion of
spiritual fredom by the State. In
Great Britain a joint committee has
been created of the Sword of the
Spirit movement and of other
churches contributory to the Re
ligion and Life movement. In this
endeavor supported by Cardinal
Hinsley. the Archbishop of Canter
bury and the moderator of the
Free Church council, Protestants
and Roman Catholics are pledged
to ‘woik together through parallel
action in the religious field.’
“In the United States Protestants
and Roman Catholics have given
much thought and study to the
basis of a just and durable peace.
Although each group has conduct
ed its studies separately there is
agreement in thinking on many
points.
“We record the desire and the
readiness of the churches to co
operate with the Roman Catholic
Church in the United States in the
effort for the welfare of society as
a whole: and in such ways as may
prove possible, bear common testi
mony to the guiding principles of
the Christian faith in relation to
the post war world.”
FIVE NUNS, members of the
White Sisters of Africa, were kill
ed in a German raid on Algiers,
when a bomb demolished a home in
which the Sisters were looking
after the sick, according to word
received in Quebec.
