His Holiness Holi-ness expresses - regret that' his -former encyclical letters should have been misinterpreted as to the suppression of the "non- expedit." He declares that public opinion has been led astray by the fact that his words have been given a different meaning to the one they really bear, and says that in granting exemptions which were necessary neces-sary in certain cases he had no idea of abandoning the glorious traditions of the pa3t or renouncing the rights of the church or the claims of the Holy See. The Holy Father concludes by expressing express-ing his satisfaction at seeing Catholics accept his advice regarding organization organiza-tion for social action, and urges them to continue in the same course. |
