Latest Message of Pius XII
(By N. C. C. W. News Service)
NEW YORK—Catholics, Prot
estants and Jews are urged to
read the Pope’s most recent ad
dress to the College of Cardinals
in an editorial which appeared in
the New York World-Telegraph,
in its issue dated June 7. En
titled ‘Timely Warning”, Ihe
editorial reads:
“To every Protestant, Jew and
Catholic even vaguely aware of
the growing cloud no bigger than
that millions of Russian hands
now forming over Eastern Eu
rope, we commend a reading of
Saturday’s speech of Pope, Pius
XII published in Sunday's news
papers.
“These are not the remarks of
a master militarist, a political
nationalist or an ideological hot
head. They were the words of a
pious man humble in the sight
of God but wise in the ways of
Statesmen. The world can well
afford to heed his timely warn
ing.
“Unlike many world figures to
day, the Holy Father speaks from
love of his fellowmen—all races
and creeds—not from fear or
haired of him.”
