VATICAN CITY, Oct. 18 (Reuter}, Reference to the "sialster shadow of God's enemied" now east over Europe was made by His Holiness the Pope when he received the new Lithuanian Minister to the Vatican.
The Pope said he would not inter- vene in purely cmporal controversies in Europe unless he was asked to, but that did not mean that they must close their eyes to new and imminea- surable dangers of a sinister shodow of God's enemies which was now enst over Europe.
