Letter from +Levame to +McQuaid stating that the Sacred Congregation of Religious is thinking about co-operation of religious nurses with Catholic Associations working in the sector of nursing assistance on an international plane. This should be done through the Comite International Catholique des Infirmieres et Assistants Medico-Sociales. Issues such as Natural Law and Catholic Moral Law are extremely delicate and inclusion in the CICIAMS allows access to the World Health Organisation where they have an advisory vote. The nursing profession to date has been represented at the W.H.O. by the International Council of Nurses which has been declared neutral and non-denominational. Stronger assertion is needed and more tenacious defence of Natural Law and Catholic Moral Law is needed. He hopes a plan of action can be put in place for the Archdiocese.

Letter from +Browne to +McQuaid thanking him for the copy of the Presentation Constitutions and Directory. He also mentions recordings being sent around by Mercer on penance, natural law, abortion, mortality and reasons against Humanae Vitae.

Handwritten notes, in +McQuaid’s writing, referring to demand for this change, divorce, Natural Law and Irish jurists abroad.
