Pope Pius, in a speech to a group of French nuns on Friday, condemned exaggerated and erroneous nationalist ideals as contrary to the doctrine of the Christian religion. many quarters saw a connection between the Pop’s address and the race policy issued the day before under the sponsorship of the Italian Ministry of Popular Culture.
The Pope referred to the “great question of present agitating the world under the name of nationalism, a nationalism in many ways exaggerated — and ill-conceived nationalism which we have already had painful occasion to denounce as erroneous and dangerous.”
