The Roman Catholic archdiocese in Milan has withdrawn the ecclesiastical license previously granted to a publishing firm there which was issuing a serialized version of the Bible in comic-strip form.
Announcement that the permit has been revoked was made here yesterday in the Vatican’s official newspaper, L’Osservatore Romano. Jewish organizations had complained against the comic-strip serialization as “vulgarization and profanation” of sacred Scripture.
The Archive of the Jewish Telegraphic Agency includes articles published from 1923 to 2008. Archive stories reflect the journalistic standards and practices of the time they were published.
