Vatican Draft Urges Laity Involvement Against Anti Semitism
Vatican seething debate surfaces as bishops discuss a secret document urging lay participation in Catholic action to combat Jew hatred in secular life. Augustin Cardinal Bee and Bishop Hannan favor stronger laity engagement through organizations like Parent Teachers and civil clubs. Informants say the document, prepared for council fathers, may be circulated soon but unlikely for formal discussion this session, with possible action in 1964 or 1965.
