"The faith that renews itself at Easter is the ground of Christian morals; and Christian morals this year are deeply involved in racial issues. . . . [An] issue from the past is raised by that Broadway play The Deputy: Was Pope Pius XII false to his trust as Christ's vicar on earth when he failed to speak out against Hitler's campaign to exterminate the Jews? . . . Even when Negroes have all the legal rights Congress can give them, only the willingness of white Americans to treat Negroes on their merits as human beings will make those rights effective. . . . The race issue will not be solved until every American conscience is involved and clarified by its personal owner."
