SIR: Simon Caterson's article on Monash and Mannix (April 2008) is quite enlightening. However, for the sake of historical accuracy his claim that the Movement was "founded in 1939" by Mannix needs to be challenged.

B.A. Santamaria in his biography of Mannix says that Mannix "recommended to the Plenary Council of Australian Bishops in September 1937 that a National Secretariat of Catholic Action should be formed to universalize the Campion impulse".

This "Campion impulse" is documented by Colin Jory in The Campion Society and Catholic Social Militancy in Australia 1929-1939, who concludes, "in the 40 years preceding the Great Depression a number of important differences had grown between the Catholic traditions of Victoria and NSW". It was on January 28, 1931, that eight men (Maher, Merlo, Jackson, McInerney, Heffey, Knowles, Quaine and Adams) met in Knowles's legal apartments and thus began the Campion Society.
