Roman Catholic cardinals bishops priests the Jeuits knights
of Columbus, Federation Of Catholic Societies the Ancient
Order Of Hbernan and other Roman Catholic societies TO-
geher with the Roman Catholic press seeks to substitute for

"IV-The Roman Catholic lay in the United States Of
America is taught influenced and commanded by those in
authority TO yield implicit obedience the teachings Of the
popes Of Rome and TO bndy obey all orders and DEGREES
