THE PASTOR WHO RESIGNED

In 1935, when Pope Pius XI condemned nudity as one of the "pagan tendencies in present-day life" Dr. Boone declared "It is perfectly clear that His Holiness has been utterly misinformed as to the character of American nudism which, from its inception, has been of a uniformly high moral order. Its leadership includes members of the Protestant clergy and Catholic laymen of unquestioned integrity."
