CHURCH AND STATE
SEPARATION IN SPAIN
DENOUNCED FROM VATICAN
PAPAL ENCYCLICAL
United Press Association—By Electric Telegraph—Copyright (Es«ived June 5, 10 a.m.) BOME, June 4. His Holiness the Pope, in an Encyclical, denounces the Spanish law decreeing the separation of Church and State, also the Beligious Orders Bill, which he .previously declared a masterpiece of iniquity against God. Now the Pope urges the Spanish clergy to use all the means in their power to further religious instruction and all the faithful to unite to defend the ;Faith. Nevertheless, he hints at. the possibility of co-operation between the Church and the Government. The Papal Encyclical does not order Spanish Catholics to thwart political reforms, as the Church accommodates herself to all forms of civil institutions provided the fight for God and Christian conduct is left intact. The Encyclical complains that not only is teaching hampered, but worship also, including the administration of sacraments and exequies for the dead.
