Belgian Primate Attacks Nazi Philosophy
Cardinal Van Rocy, Primate of Belgium, in an address to the League of Christian Women, took the opportunity of emphaaising the profound difference between Catholic doctrine and the " new ideology."
" Take first," he said, " the conception of man and of life according to the new ideas . . . the greatness of man consists in dominating others: it is force, without regard for anyone, and with no other rules than the supreme interests of the race.
" Contrariwise, according to Catholic doctrine. the human ideal consists in dominating oneself by renunciation and self-abnegation, by the fight against the passions: and, as a consequence, in humility, gentleness and charity towards others: in force, also, but solely against evil and sin."
