A Catholic Speaks Her Mind

Non Catholics in America who are not familiar with the ways of the Catholic church and have regarded with dismay the apparent unanimity with which the church is backing the fascist rebellion in Spain should be advised of several important points. They should understand that resort to war by secular authorities does not call for infallible ex cathedra pronouncements. The war in Spain is not a matter of faith or morals. It is a political and social conflict. The political views of the hierarchy, or even of the Pope, are not binding upon individual Catholics. Indeed, it is generally admitted that in the past popes have often been wrong, terribly wrong, in their political decisions.
