Belgian Cardinal Attacks Food Profiteers
Cardinal Van Rocy, Archbishop of Malines and Primate of Belgium, in a recent pastoral letter, attacks food profiteers and pleasure-seekers. "All undue gain in the sale of foodstuffs is a crying offence against justice and charity," the Cardinal says. " Those who possess more than is necessary are bound to yield up to those who are worse off."
The Cardinal condemns vulgar amusement in these times and even criticises dancing as " deserving of the reprobation of all decent people," because of the present situation.
