Subjects: | Transport, Machinery, Christianity, Religious Authority |
Notes that 'the Holy Congregation at Rome' has 'decided to prohibit the use of the bicycle by priests, not only from consideration of their personal safety, but also because it may shock the feelings of the faithful and bring ridicule upon the priests themselves'. | |
