now it has been prohibited, it is true, to be a member of the   
organizations "associated" with the National Socialist movement   
( called in Dutch text "covering organizations" ),  but that  alone  does   
not entail refusal of the sacraments.  THe situation, however, is modified   
in such a way that it is necessary to consider it equally prohibited to be   
a member of the "associated organizations" as to participate in the   
National Socialist movement itself.  Accordingly, in the future the   
sacramnets will be refused to those wo remain members of one of these   
organizations affiliated with the Workers League in its new form, just as   
to members of all the other "associated organizations" of the National   
                    Socialist movement.                     
 
                                                            
 
 
Dear Faithful| We cannot explain to you how profoundly we deplore the   
disappearance of the Catholic Worker's League. The latter has been   
particularly dear to us because with its approximately 200,000 members,   
it embraced  a large part of the good and faithful Catholic people;   
because for half a century our most distinguished men, priests and   
laymen, beginning with Schaepman and Ariens, have devoted to it their   
best efforts; because it has realized an immense amount of good in the   
                social and religious field.
