Pope urges priests to return to faith in Germany
From Castel Gandolfo Pope Pius XII urged a group of graduate priests to go back to Nazi Germany and uphold Catholic faith amid persecution. He blessed the German-Hungarian college at Rama Ra for their upcoming work in Germany and warned of a “sad hour of persecution” as authorities tighten controls on church affairs. The audience included US traveler Father J. Bastien of Gratian, ND. In Berlin the Nazi regime blocked church rites without state consent, threatening seminaries and confessional life under strict surveillance.
