...Folies-Bergere of Paris (putting on a few more clothes when it went on the road) was standing-room-only in Naples.* But before it could move on to Rome, the Vatican's L'Osservatore Romano sternly warned: "This vaudeville company has a specialty of arousing what in former times « were called the lowest instincts. It is said that the 'artistic' director of this show distributed to his dancing girls three postage stamps apiece and told them to get dressed in them . . .

In other words, Li Wei-Kwang is helping to set up the Communists' bogus "Catholic Church" in China, similar...
Counterattack Strongman Juan Perón signed into law last week a bill making divorce legal in Argentina for the first time in the nation's history. The next day, the official Vatican newspaper, Osservatore Romano, printed its first denunciation of Perón & Co.'s running feud with the Roman Catholic Church (TIME, Nov. 1 et seq.). In its front-page attack, the paper charged that by arresting priests the Perón regime had violated freedom of religion, and that by legalizing divorce it had subverted "the morals of the faithful...
