CARDINAL INNITZER REFUTES " SENSELESS RUMOURS" Speaks of " American Press Insults"

" A few days ago I bad an interview lasting more than an hour with Cardinal lnnitzer. His Eminence spoke to me in a way I shall never forget. He said: ' I am liberally insulted and attacked by the American papers, and in the letters which come to me from that country. Those things by the love of God I can endure, but what afflicts me above all is that my devotion to the Catholic Faith should be questioned.'" This statement has been made by a Sudeten German priest in the Catholic daily of Prague, Deutsche Presse,
The priest protests vigorously against the calumnies spread against Cardinal Innitzer.
Two days after this statement appeared, Deutsche Presse published a fragment of a letter written by Cardinal Innitz_er, and dated August 16.
The Cardinal writes on the subject of the fantastic rumours which have been circulating about a proposed schism of the Church in Austria, led by Cardinal Innitzer himself, who is credited in these rumours with the desire to set up a separate German Catholic Church:
"11 is absolutely incredible what some journalists will publish. It is beyond all law. I am particularly grateful to Deutsche Presse for having refuted immediately the senseless rumours."--C.P.
