Pope (1922-1939 : Pius XI) Concerning "Catholic action" : the conflict in Italy 1931 .txt text/plain 11348 245 40 It has been for Us an exquisite satisfaction to see the Catholic Action organizations of all countries, both near and distant, united about the Common Father, inspired by an unique spirit of faith, of filial sorrow and of gener- ous impulses, expressing all their astonishment and grief in seeing Catholic Action societies persecuted and assailed here in the very centre of the Apostolic Hierarchy, in Italy, where, as in all parts of the world, Catholic Action was existing, and did not wish to exist otherwise, nor could have existed otherwise, than in accordance with its au- thentic and essential definition—as the participation and the collaboration of the laity with the Apostolic Hierarchy.
