...mummy, this relic has traveled much since Bobola, a Jesuit teacher of noble Polish birth, was scourged, beaten, flayed and scalped by Cossacks, who put him to death near Pinsk in 1657. The nearby shrine in which he was buried was successively guarded by Jesuits, Greek Catholics and Russian Orthodox monks before Bobola's relics were taken to Polotsk. 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 a U. S.

These dignitaries, and a great many more, were accused in the Soviet press of everything from drinking champagne with nuns to plotting assassinations of Soviet officials. Last week, with at least 20 bishops in jail and one, Metropolitan Theophan of Gorki, reported executed, the threat of the crusher appeared to have "converted" at least one potential victim...
...avert her collapse, and in the last few years the economic favors Italy showered upon Austria-before Mussolini finally threw Schuschnigg overboard and teamed up with Hitler-all these factors have made Austria not only economically far better off than Germany but in reasonably "sound" condition from an orthodox economic viewpoint...
