Mons Archbishop believes that in today’s circumstances, one had to condemn with all force, the following actions:
(a) the grave offence by word of mouth or in writing or in actions against the Archbishop or the clergy.
(b) Supporting the leaders of MLP, until they insist of battling out with the church and they keep contact with socialists, communists and AAPSO
Apart from that, today, it appears that the MLP executive, through the 'Helsien' has publicly INVITED THE ARCHBISHOPS. This invite is the greatest insult that one can make to the ecclesiastical ranks and after the warning issued by the curia to the editors of this newspaper and 'The Voice of Malta' this is obviously an incitement on their part.
No one can print, write, sell, buy, deliver or read these newspapers without falling in mortal sin.
