Father Charles E. Coughlin, in his weekly radio talk yesterday, indicated the belief that the late Pope Pius XI was more opposed to Communism than he was to Nazism and Fascism. The priest said that the Pontiff had forbidden Catholics to assist Communism, but had issued no such prohibition regarding National Socialism and Fascism because he hoped that the latter two would see the error of their ways.
