TENSION LIKELY
GERMANY AND HOLY SEE STERILISATION LAW VATICAN CITY, Nov. 28. Serious tension is likely between Germany and the lloly See if the sterilisation law is enforced. German Catholic authorities have been instructed to protest vigorously against its application. As a compromise on the subject, Catholic doctors arc not permitted to sterilise, and nurses are forbidden to assist at the operation. Those voluntarily sterilised cannot contract valid marriage. It is recalled that the Pope, in a recent encyclical, declared that public authorities should not directly damage their integrity -for eugenic or any other reasons. Man must Ibc free to choose between good and evil. Compulsory virtue is valueless.
