42 2. I conclude this part of my most devoted remarks by taking it to the place of Karlovy Vary the Go. I now come to the actual purpose of my statements and mention that at that time I had the honour of communicating with the Lord Reichsprotektor, Sr.Exc. to the Baron of Neurath on the same subject, and that I had already had the honor of exchanging letters with the Master Reichs pro tector,Sr. It is unfortunately a fact that in the Catholic clergy, also in the younger clergy, especially of course in the Tschephic part, but unfortunately only too often in the German clergy too, an antagonism against today's state leadership is taking up more and more place. - I do not want with this to be boastful and very boastful exceptions, which are certainly also known,in But the fact itself is confirmed by the acceptances, although only and certainly cannot be denied.- This antagonism is certainly not only to be blamed and condemned in the clergy itself, but also dangerously because of the great influence of it on a not insignificant part of the lay world.- The opposition of the clergy unfortunately In this way, the clergy can only respond: the clergy lacks the right German and patriotic education and a proper state-owned leadership.This education of the clergy is led by the bishop and is thus transferred to a significant part of the lay world.

During the First World War, the then Cardinal and Archbishop of Prague, according to the admission of the then directorate, had to meet the urgent request of the AOK. his seat in Prague, with the
