LETTRES DE ROME. — Periodical founded in Rome by the Jesuit Fr. J.-H. Ledit in 1935, with the aim of studying the movement and international penetration of communism and atheism.

While other centers and numerous other publications in various countries dealt with communism from the civil, political, and economic perspectives, the L. de R. limited themselves to its religious and Catholic aspect. During its first year the periodical was mimeographed; from the second year onward it was printed. An English edition (1937), a German edition (1937), and a Spanish edition (1938) were also published. The periodical ceased publication in 1940.
