AMERICAN “RADIO PRIEST’ CENSURED.
FATHER COUGHLIN’S ACTIVITIES,
(By Telegraph-Press Assr -Copyright) ROME, Sept.
The Observatore Romano, the official organ of the Vatican, in censuring the American “radio priest,” Father Coughlin, whose broadcast addresses on political questions have attracted much attention, denies that the Vatican informed the Bishop of Detroit that it approved of Father Coughlin’s activities.
The newspaper adds: “The Holy Sec wishes to respect all liberties but also all proprieties. An orator sins against the elementary proprieties when he attacks persons who represent the social authorities with the evident danger of shaking in the multitudes the respect they owe to the authorities themselves. The impropriety is all the greater when the speaker is a priest.”
