BERN, Switzerland, March 31.
The sexual immorality of Nazi youth was condemned in a Catholic news service release which published a pastoral letter. It stated that German Catholic Bishops of Cologne and Paderborn circulated the letter and quoted the letter as saying "sexual violations are being considered a virtue, thus destroying the resistance of the spirit and restraint of the conscience, consideration, sympathy and justice which formerly protected people from themselves.

Whoever places legitimate and illegitimate motherhood on the same level, places a burden on the ideal of motherhood and the value of woman which does the worst possible service to female youth."
