CATHOLICS V. FASCISTS
A CLASH OF OPINIONS WOMEN AND ARCHERY Times Cable. ROME, Friday. Official Roman Catholic opinion in Italy has again clashed with Fascism in connection with a women’s sports meeting. A shooting competition to which the Pope objected last year has been omitted, but the programme includes archery, which is described as enjoying “the highest credit and great popularity among Anglo-Saxon women.” The newspaper “Osservatore Romano," voicing the official Roman Catholic view, strongly protests against what it terms “this offence to Christian customs, to our civilisation, and to our nation.” It asks why a regime which claims zealously to preserve Latin institutions is so anxious to imitate foreign customs. The paper says the Government of a Roman Catholic State like Italy cannot ignore what the supreme head of Roman Catholicism has pronounced upon as a matter inherent to moral training. It urges the bishops and the priests to exercise their influence with all families of the faithful entrusted to their care.
