A pastoral from the Roman Catholic Archbishop and Bishops, read in the churches throughout Ireland, condemns the campaign of revolution and Communism, which, if not checked, would end in ruining Ireland body and soul. The pastoral refers to the operations of a militarist society avowedly aiming to overthrow the State by force, associ* ated with which is a new organisation, the Saor.Eire, frankly Communistic, aiming to mobilise workers and working farmers behind a revolutionary movement designed to set up a Communistic State and impose upon Catholic Ireland the same materialistic God-haling regime which is dominating Russia and threatening to dominate Spain. "It is our duty to say plainly that these two organisations are sinful and irreligious, and no Catholic can lawfully be a member of them."
