APPEAL TO CATHOLIC LAITY FOR PEACE
ENFORCEMENT OF CHURCH’S TEACHING
LONDON, April 13.
The Daily Herald publishes an appeal to the Roman Catholic laity throughout the world urging the bishops to approach their governments for a last-minute peace conference. The appeal is being sent to the Pope, to the editors of Catholic journals all over the world and also to prominent persons of all faiths.
This is the first time in history that an attempt has been made by the laity to rouse Catholic opinion in order to enforce the church’s teaching of peace. The Daily Herald rejects a pacifist solution, declaring that both sides must be prepared for sacrifices in order to end the impasse and adds that if one side will not listen to reason there are adequate moral grounds for resistance against an attempt to dominate the world by force.
