Pope Pius XI has no intention of issuing a Papal encyclic concerning the Jewish question, states the Rome correspondent of the “Neue Freie Presse.”
The correspondent states that he was authorized to deny the newspaper reports to that effect. The Catholic Church adheres to its principle of general tolerance toward non-Christians. However, it is of the belief that a special pro-Jewish encyclic would possibly shorpen the relations between Christianity and Judaism and is therefore undesirable.
