...other influence is secular. Segregation implies inferiority . . . Across two great wars now we, along with other free peoples, have preached the rights of men everywhere to be free and equal-we have encouraged long-oppressed peoples to rise. They have done so, and to date the Communists, with great shrewdness, have exploited successfully many of these nationalistic revolutions...

To this organization, nothing can be unimportant, be it a new philosophical school in France or new playgrounds in an American diocese...
...Paris, Lieénart of Lille and Gerlier of Lyon announced a conditional reprieve for the French worker-priest program recently suspended by the Vatican (TIME, Sept. 28). Hereafter, worker-priests will be attached to parishes or traditional communities of priests, will no longer work full time at secular jobs-thus minimizing the chance that some of them, living by themselves in Red-tinted industrial areas, will be led astray by the Communism they set out to fight...
