With the election in doubt, Father O'Connor called on his friend Msgr. T. J. Jordan, dean of ten Rock Island-East Moline Roman Catholic churches for support. On Sunday before the election, the parish priests read an announcement of Msgr. Jordan from the pulpit: "The issue is simple-the choice of C.I.O.-U.A.W., a good American union, or Communist-dominated U.E.-F.E. Good Catholics, who know the evils of atheistic Communism, should vote . . . C.I.O.-U.A.W." Across the Mississippi in Davenport and Bettendorf, Iowa, another seven priests joined the campaign. After the sermons, two U.E.-F.E. shop stewards bolted...
...bedside, the Pope made a point of receiving his old friend and adviser, Msgr. Giovanni Battista Montini-a man who, if he had a red hat, would be one of the top candidates for the papacy. This week Msgr. Montini was consecrated Archbishop of Milan, and when His Holiness presented the archbishop-elect a pectoral cross, a gift not normally made until after the ceremony, the Vatican newspaper Osservatore Romano noted this demonstration of "very particular benevolence."

At the same time, cardinals and bishops received new, sharp instructions designed to remedy what the Pope regards as creeping weaknesses in the church. Among the Pope's chief complaints...
Indo-China has a thousand-odd churches, some of them converted Buddhist temples (see cut). It is divided into 18 vicariates with about 1,400 native priests and 18 bishops (eight of them Indo-Chinese). Among them are Msgr. Pham Ngoc Chi, Bishop of Bui Chu and Msgr. Thaddeus Le Huu Tu, Bishop of Phat Diem. Msgr. Tu is the only Roman Catholic bishop in the world (besides the Pope, with his 100-odd Swiss Guards) to maintain his own private army-two regular battalions of 1,700 men, plus a militia of 5,800. (The two bishops and thousands...
