CATHOLIC OBJECTION TO WOMEN
SPORTS
(United Press Association —By Electric Telegraph—Copyright).
LONDON, Nov. 1
“Hie 'I irnes’s’’ Rome correspondent states that official Catholic opinion in Italy again clashed with Fascism in connection with women’s sports meetings. The shooting competition, to which the Pope objected in 1927, has been omitted, but the programme Includes archery which “enjoys the highest credit and great popularity among Anglo-Saxon women.” The “Osservatorio Romano” voicing the Catholic view strongly protests against “this offence to Christian customs of our civilisation and nation,” and asks why this regime, claiming zealously to preserve Latin institutions, is so anxious to imitate foreign customs; adding that the Government oT a Catholic State like Italy, cannot ignore what the supreme head of Catholicism has pronounced upon a matter inherent to moral training. The paper urges bishops and priests to exercise their influence with all families of the faithful entrusted to their care.
