This article expounds upon the current war, the mutual unity of Americans of different racial and religious backgrounds fighting for unity against oppression, and the need to further tolerance. It greatly expands on the need to fully get rid of bigotry and intolerance, and the author argues for these reasons from a catholic point of view. “Malice toward none, justice to all is the general American formula and practice. ” An interesting period piece from an archbishop who soon after became one of the more notorious Cardinals in the world, both for his extreme theological conservatism, and his pro-vietnam war, pro-nixon, anti-communist, American first views. Subjects: Toleration. Racism - United States. OCLC lists one copy (Boston College) . Lightly bumped edges. Very good condition. (HOLO2-96-46)
