The conversion of Jews to Catholicism is considered a method of achieving world peace in the opinion of a group of Catholic missionaries who have established an organization called “The Christian League for Peace.”
The founders of the League declared their purpose to be the conversion of Jews to Catholicism, at a conference of the League just concluded here. The conference further decided to establish Catholic homes and seminaries for Jewish converts in all the large centers in Italy, as well as abroad, to revive the “collegio eclesiastico” which was founded by Pope Gregory XIII. for Jewish converts.
An appeal issued to the Catholic world calls for funds and for prayers for the conversion of Jews.
