Church Condemns Communism in Ireland
MOSCOW PROPAGANDISTS AT WORK LONDON, May 18. The Rt. Rev. Thos. O’Doherty, Catholic Bishop of Galway, pledged himself ■#o adhere to the decision of the Irish people, whether they set up a Republic .with an Irish chief or an Irish king, but he announced that one body wanted to force its opinions down people’s throats with guns and rifles. Some were assassins. A new Dublin Comvmunist organisation, the Saor Eire, appealed to farmers and town and country workers to adhere to the revolutionary movement and create a Communist State. A number of Communists had been sent to Moscow to imbibe propaganda and had returned to Ireland where they were inculcating Bolshevik doctrines. Such organisations were sinful, and no Catholic •could be a member of them.
