Pope Warns Duce Of State Church Conflict In Italy CASTEL â€" GANDOLFO, Italy.â€" Speaking to 200 ecclesiastical assistâ€" ants of the Italian Catholic Action Associations, the ‘Pope renewed the condemnation he uttered last Friday of exaggerated nationalism, extendâ€" ing it this time to all racist theories and all separatist formulas. . All such theories and formulas, be said,; are contrary to the Catholic Credo, because in the words: "I b&‘ lieve in the Catholic faith," .Catholic means universal, not racist or n& tionalistic or separatistic. / i "The Pope began by praising the organizations of the Catholic Action Associations, which are based on coâ€" operation between the laity and the clergy. "This conception is greater and wonderful," he said, "and is one of true democracy, in opposition to all the foolishness and blasphemy that is uttered nowadays.
