Sunday, 1 December 1929

Rome:  

Pope Pius XI, in a speech to a gathering of Rome’s parish priests, criticizes Italy’s fascist government and press, saying Catholic newspapers in Italy are finding it more difficult to discuss church issues freely.  Conversely, he says Italy’s fascist press is discussing matters related to the church with “indiscretion.” 



Moscow:  

The communist government jails Princess Sophie Lieven, sister-in-law of Sir Kynaston Studd, former Lord Mayor of London, for teaching Bible lessons to the children of workers’ families.  Ms. Lieven is also daughter of the former Grand Master of Ceremonies of the Russian Imperial Court.  She is being held in the Lublanka jail in Moscow.
