Scope and content
A short assessment of the strength of communist groupings in Belfast by Fr. Senan Moynihan OFM Cap. Reference is made to named individuals in the Communist Party and to an ‘International Bookshop in Church Lane which seems to be [a] clearing house for printed propaganda’. Moynihan also warns of communist ‘fellow travellers’ who exude strong anti-Catholic sentiments.
