Bishop O'Hara Addresses
Rotarians in Albany
(Special to The Bulletin)
ALBANY. Ga.—Speaking to Ihe
Albany Rotary Club, the Most
Rev. Gerald P. O'Hara, D. D..
J. U- D.. Bishop of Savannah-
Atlanta, discused what he de
scribed as the ‘ widespread mis
understanding of President Roose
velt’s motives in sending Myron
Taylor to the Vatican as his per
sona] representative.”
“Mr. Taylor docs not represent
the United States government,”
Bishop O’Hara declared. He add
ed that in no sense is the Presi
dent’s action to" be, viewed as an
“entering wedge” for the union
of Church and State. The Vatican,
he said, is the. world’s greatest
“listening post” for* what Occurs
in capitals and on diplomatic
fronts, its representatives are in
all lands, and “the President
made available to this nation the
helpfulness of the Vatican when
he sent his personal. representa
tive to Rome.”’
Bishop O'Hara referred to the
Pope as the foe of Fascism, Nazi-
ism and all other forms of totali
tarian government.
AS A MEMORIAL to 90,000
members who have entered the
armed forces and particularly to
those who have made the supreme
sacrifice for the country, the
Knights of Columbus in the United
States are establishing an educa
tional trust fund of one million
dolars, with the aim of providing
a higher education in a Catholic
college for the sons and daughters
of those Knights who have given
their lives in the war.
