What the Cleveland bishop said, every Catholic prelate has in some manner paraphrased. Memorable was a 1925 speech of Patrick Cardinal Hayes, Archbishop of New York: ". . . By such sin fell empires, states and nations. Religion shudders at the wild orgy of immorality the situation forebodes. . . . Birth control is heralded because the poor . . . are largely responsible for defectives. Never was there cast . . . a more offensive insult. Defectives, physical or mental, have immortal souls, redeemed by the blood of Christ. The forces of evil . . . would exploit the bodies and ruin the souls of the children of God." (TIME...

These stories, typical of those which passed through the minds of Archbishop Drossaerts and his audience, were said to be exaggerated. For one who believes them it is surely reasonable to wonder at the "ominous silence of the American press and pulpit." The reasons for this silence, aside from incredulity, are many.
