Confirmation of his statement given to the Jewish Daily Bulletin that the status of the Jewish community in Italy would not be affected by the enforcement of the Canon Law undertaken in the agreement reached between the Vatican and the Quirinal was given by Dr. Wilfred Parson, S.J., editor of “America,” Catholic weekly, upon his return to New York from a trip to Washington.
“My further information in semi-official quarters has conformed the former statement which I made to the effect that there is nothing in the published summary of the Church-State treaty which indicates any change in the religious or racial status in Italy of those who are not Catholics,” Dr. Parsons declared to the Jewish Daily Bulletin representative.
