From Labor Action, Vol. 13 No. 15, 11 April 1949, p. 2.
Transcribed & marked up by Einde O’Callaghan for the Encyclopaedia of Trotskyism On-Line (ETOL).
To the Editor:
Two issues ago in Labor Action I had an article on Sidney Hook and his statements about the Catholic Church. Were I to write about that matter again, I would refrain from two errors of interpretation and taste which I made. I did not make clear that what Hook was writing about was the problem of political relationships to the church, and thus might have given the impression that he proposed some sort of intellectual alliance with Catholicism. That is not true. Secondly, I wrote with unnecessary nastiness of tone, a manner of writing that is always to be deplored. Precisely because I think the political point of the article was essentially valid do I regret these two lapses.
