The Papal decree denouncing racial hatred and anti-Semitism caused great embarrassment to the Catholic anti-Semites in Austria. The Hakenkreuzler organs comment on the Pope’s decree in an indignant tone. Editorials ask whether the Catholic anti-Semites will obey the order of the Holy See. What will the Catholic parties do with their anti-Semitic program, when the Pope prohibits every anti-Semitic activity, even such as is directed “to defend the fatherland against the demoralization of Judas?”
The Hakenkreuzler organs point to the fact that the Catholic press has ignored the decree and has not even published its text.
