CHURCH OPPOSITION
Ideals of German Faction ROMAN CATHOLIC VIEWS (Rec. March 18, 8 p.m.) Berlin, March 17. "The Swastika cross—the Nazis symbol —is a battle emblem against the Cross of Christ,” says a Roman Catholic bishops’ manifesto issued at Frankfurt, forbidding Roman Catholics to membership of the Nazis on the grounds that their ideas are opposed to the Catholicism, notably their declaration favouring all religions, “as far as they do not violate the Germanic race’s moral sense.” The bishops pronounce the declaration as anti-Christian, as it permits race sentiment to judge God’s laws. They regard the Nazis’ aims as including the establishment of a new German National Church, separated from the Roman Catholic Church.
