Today I’d like to share a 1943, speech on behalf of the Australian bishops by Melbourne Co-adjutor Archbishop Justin D. Simonds. As Archbishop Simonds notes, he had first encountered the early YCW movement while studying at Louvain (Leuven) during the late 1920s. He had thus witnessed the astronomical rise of the movement and the development of its Specialised Catholic Action counterparts, including the YCS, following the YCW’s official endorsement by Pope Pius XI in March 1925.
