Abstract

The Papal-Fascist Alliance
Dell, Robert | March 27, 1929 issue

add to cart   close window

The author doubts whether the full significance of the agreement between the Pope and Italian dictator Benito Mussolini has been generally recognized in the U.S., any more than in England. It is only in Catholic countries that the Catholic church is really understood. In Protestant countries, where Catholics are in a minority, they are necessarily to some extent liberal because they need liberty for themselves and can get it only if others have it too. If religious liberty were denied, it would be denied to them, not to the Protestant majority. In Protestant countries, too, the Catholic ecclesiastical authorities rarely venture to dictate to their flocks in political matters or to attempt to form a Catholic party in politics.
