...have no more confidence in Stalin than I have in Hitler. [He] is quite capable of turning on the United States, were that to suit his purposes. More than one dog has bitten the hand that fed it." This outburst from Archbishop Michael Joseph Curley, the spiritual leader of Catholics in Baltimore and Washington, made big headlines in the press, both sacred and profane. The Archbishop spoke before Hitler's little yellow friends made a treacherously planned attack...

Practically all U.S. citizens-Catholic and non-Catholic alike-had long felt a twinging distaste for Joseph Stalin the Communist, a twinging admiration for Joseph Stalin the Soldier.

Columnist Lee Casey of Rocky Mountain News pointed up the change 81 years had brought: "Denver's first bishop was its first priest; Denver's first archbishop will have two suffragan bishops, 437 priests and 180,250 communicants in his jurisdiction." Archbishop-elect is the Most Rev. Urban John Vehr, Bishop of Denver...
