...Roman Catholics "sin grievously, at least," if they read the Daily Worker. Under the Pope's recent order excommunicating Communists, Catholics may not read any Communist publications "for information, professional reasons, or curiosity," declared the Rev. Edwin B. Broderick this week, in a sermon at New York's St. Patrick's Cathedral. "The toying parlor pink," he said, "must show his true color, red or not red . . . There is no room for pastel shades."

On behalf of the Benedictines, Catholic authorities refused to take the church back without full reparations, and put the damage between $300,000 and $500,000. This week a joint commission began trying to work out a satisfactory settlement...
...Roman Catholics have long felt the need for a central agency where the church could express its official views on social, economic and moral questions. Rather than set up a new agency, they decided on the reorganization of an old one: the ten-year-old bureau of information of the National Catholic Welfare Conference in Washington...
