Vatican City: Pope
Pius XI, in an open letter to the Vicar-General of Rome, excoriates the
government of soviet Russia for its “horrible and sacrilegious” persecution of
religion there. He announces that he
will celebrate a “mass of atonement, propitiation and reparation” on March 19,
to include prayer for the church in Russia, and invites all Christian nations
of the world to do the same. He chides
the nations for not protesting Russia’s conduct enough.
