23-25 April 1957 Correspondence between +Levame & +McQuaid regarding the ‘Lions Clubs’. The Association was founded in 1917 in Chicago and now can be found worldwide.

However, the Holy See wants the greatest vigilance around this group and if any lay spirit prevails, for example Freemasonry, the Holy Office is to be informed. Ordinaries should not take action on their own but only after seeking the advice of all Bishops so a common policy can be put in place. Every endeavour should be made to facilitate Catholic associations. +McQuaid mentions his awareness of the Lions Club and has already taken action.
