Scope and content
Letter from +O’Hara to Cardinal D’Alton regarding Catholic principles and policies in relation to UNESCO. He states the Holy See is concerned with the activities of the programme and policies of OMEP as they deal with the education of children of pre-school age. This is a delicate matter ‘…since there is considerable Masonic influence at work in OMEP, which is tinged with communism’. The Holy Father wants Ireland to bring its influence to bear at the Congress in Rome in August. He also asks that a competent ‘layman’ to establish contact with the International Catholic Co-ordinating Centre for UNESCO in Paris. He also suggests that the Irish Hierarchy establish a National OMEP Committee in Ireland.
