...nominally a Catholic. Not to be downed, the Catholic Bishop of Mainz ordered priests in his diocese not to permit Nazi flags to be flown from their churches, a practice now common throughout the Reich. But Rome's most potent blast was hurled by Michael Cardinal Faulhaber, doughty Archbishop of Munich. Speaking ex cathedra from St. Michael's, which was jammed to overflowing with Munich Catholics, His Eminence thundered: "Let us not forget that we were saved not by German blood but by the blood of Christ!"

He aroused factional wrath last summer, on Armenian Day at the Chicago World's Fair, by declining to make a speech until a pro-Soviet Armenian flag...
...Repercussion. Last week's revelations vexed English Roman Catholics. Cried Most Reverend Richard Downey, Archbishop of Liverpool: "It is difficult to see what moral justification there can be for reading a Protestant service over the remains of these Roman Catholic princes, even though it were done on the plea of legal continuity of the present Anglican Church with the pre-Reformation Church of Britain...
