TheBishops'pastoraldeplored Socialist Churchattacksagainstthe whichwentsofarasto termtheChurch"thefifthoccupationpower"(besidesU.S., Britain,FranceandtheSoviet Union)inGermany.

Declaringthat"theChurch withallherauthoritysupports thecauseofjustsocialprogress servingthecommonweal,"the Bishopsstated:"Itishightime tomakeaseriousefforttowards realisingChristiansocialteachings.ThePopeshaveoften voicedthisdemand,andwith everincreasingemphasis."The pastoralstressedtheneedof measuresto-de-proletarianise themasses,toestablishjustregulationsregardingproperty,to solve problemtherefugeeandhousing inGermany,andto promoteahealthyimprovement inthesituationofwageearners.
