MIRROR OF WORLD OPINION

VATICAN AND

THE NAZIS

In view of the naked hostility which the Nazis display towards the Church there are some who wonder just how much longer the Vatican will maintain its present neutrality. It sees reared against it all the carefully organized forces of evil which the German lea- ders have determined to impose upon the world, and the question is often asked as to when the Roman Catholic Church will avall itself of the enor- mously potent moral weapons which it has in its armoury. That is a matter for the Pope to decide, though he will probably realize that if the de- mocracies ever go down in defeat the very existence of the Church itself is threatened.

He argues that though you may not be able to exercise an evil spirit by physical force it is only by physical force that you can restrain its ravages, When that restraint has been made effective There is, we believe, a general de- something more is needed.
