Two copies of typed letter to the Taoiseach [from Dr. Browne]. He thought it unnecessary to point out that it has been his concern that the Mother and Child Scheme contained nothing contrary to Catholic moral teaching. As a Catholic he will accept any pronouncements from the Hierarchy regarding Catholic moral teaching in reference to this matter. He is not satisfied that the Hierarchy are opposed to the Scheme on grounds of Faith and Morals. Regarding His Grace and Their Lordships not being satisfied after the meeting of 11th October, you allowed the Scheme to develop without ever suggesting that the objections were still unresolved. In your interview with the IMA, 12th December, 1950, there was no suggestion of any difficulty other than those raised by the IMA.
