MORE RESTRICTIVE MEASURES..
[by CABLE—PBESS ASSN. —COPYBIGHT.]
(Recd. December 14, 2.30 p.m.) LONDON, December 13. . The Exchange Agency’s Vatican City correspondent says: Although Nazi measures against the Catholic Church are not published, the gist is known here. They are reported to provide that the relations between Church and State will no longer be governed by the Concordat, but by the laws of the Reich. - Secondly, processions and pilgrimages will be forbidden. Thirdly, sermons based on communications between the Pope and the bishops must be submitted to the Reich authorities in advance. Fourthly, a religious order, wherein any member is convicted' of immorality will be dissolved and property confiscated. \ Other decrees are understood severely to handicap the religious orders, and forbid priests baptising Jews. The Pope is preparing a reply to the decrees which, at present, are being studied by the authorities.
