...matter of fact, come out in this matter already. When the Church, of which this priest is a member, makes public the fact that he does not represent its views on this subject, when the Dec. 30 issue of The Commonweal publishes two articles by high Catholic Churchmen blasting his statements, when outstanding Protestant ministers and laymen have condemned such vicious un-Americanism, how long are people going to listen to such guff from the head of the discredited Social Justice political party...
...tumulation (burial) of the Holy Father, a scattering of candles lit St. Peter's, in whose dim, religious light sat several thousand invited diplomats, nobles, churchmen and Vatican functionaries. The clergy of the Basilica committed Pius XI to his God with the same prayers chanted for humble sinners.

S. hierarchy for social and cultural leadership-a leadership which has been slow in materializing...
...things that depress U. S. liberal churchmen is that the Church is supported largely by the upper and middle classes, by people who believe that God is a capitalist. Although many churchmen have accustomed their congregations to socially radical words from the pulpit, most parsons pipe the tunes which businessmen call. Last week in a Chicago suburb (Barrington, Ill.) there was a prodigious politico-religious piping. Occasion: "The Barrington Town Warming Plan ... a combination of the early American town meeting and the old time religious revival."
