Now the head of the Roman Catholic Church, the pope, has recently issued an encyclical which he put forth on Christmas day which has attracted considerable attention. It occupied a large place in the daily press and I am dependent upon that for the account of it. I realize, of course, that the press sometimes, with the very best intentions, makes mistakes. I myself have sometimes been represented in the newspapers as saying and doing things that I never thought of saying and doing. So I do not hold the pope of the Roman Catholic Church responsible for every expression in these paragraphs, for in some instances he may have been incorrectly reported. The encyclical is entitles, “Lux Veritatis” (The Light of Truth), and in this he invited Protestants and other dissident branches of Christianity to return to “the one fold” under the pope.
