Non abbiamo bisogno (
Roman Catholic encyclical published on 29 June 1931 by Pope Pius XI
.
Context
The encyclical condemned what it perceived as
pagan worship of the State” (statolatry) and “revolution which snatches the young from the Church and from Jesus Christ, and which inculcates in its own young people hatred, violence and irreverence.”[2]
The encyclical begins with the Pope's protest against
anti-Catholic
.
Cardinal Tarcisio Bertone, Cardinal Secretary of State under Popes Benedict XVI and Francis, asserts that the encyclical was "strongly polemic" against Mussolini who ordered that Catholic youth associations be dissolved.[3]
