Last month America, influential Jesuit weekly, announced a Bias Contest, with cash prizes for readers who found the worst examples of anti-Catholic bias in a month's reading of the U. S. press (TIME, March 7). Wrote Rev. John A. Toomey, S.J., in announcing the contest: "It is anti-Catholic bias if it misleads readers on any Catholic question."

In Bolshevik hands they ended up in a medical museum in Moscow-although Roman Catholics were not then aware of their whereabouts. In 1922, within a month after he became Pope, Pius XI ordered...
...Rome, there must have rung in his ears the German words of a broadcast from the powerful Vatican radio station, in which the words "worthlessness and faithlessness" were applied to "shepherds" actions" which greatly resembled his own. Although the Vatican insisted that this broadcast, made by an anonymous Jesuit, happened entirely by coincidence, its observations on "political Catholicism" were pat and pointed. "False political Catholicism" the Jesuit defined as an attitude, either of the "simple faithful or officials in public life," which consists in "an exaggerated carefulness of tactics and in a weak adaptation to established or foreseen facts...
