Summary: Contrasts the support of certain Catholics for the Industrial Council Plan, which called for co-management, with Distributism’s advocacy for co-ownership as the only means to alleviate the injustices caused by industry. Quotes “Osservatore Romano” on its condemnation of capitalism. Repudiates the characterization of the Industrial Council Plan as ‘the Pope’s plan,’ by quoting Pius XII’s 1952 Christmas message opposing efforts to conform society to modern industry and praising economies emphasizing agriculture and the crafts. Laments the use of text books upholding industrial capitalism in Catholic schools and seminaries, and offers examples of the body of American Catholic thought “which sets its face against this godless system.”
