Thanks, Chris.
Brad, is this what you were thinking of?
I think what I am thinking of is:
Cohen, E. (1981). The Propaganda of Saints in the Middle Ages. _ Journal
of Communication, 31_, 16-26.
But due to misfortunate circumstances beyond my
control I am unable to access the copies I made and
filed away of it back then. I hope to recover
my archives in a few months, but I have never
had the luxury in life of having a safe place
to keep things -- e.g. a permanent parental home.

Brad, can you tie the linguistic origins of 'propaganda' more closely to
the Catholic church?
Quoting from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda :
<<In late Latin, propaganda meant "things to be propagated". In 1622,
shortly after the start of the Thirty Years' War, Pope Gregory XV founded
the Congregatio de Propaganda Fide ("Congregation for Propagating the
Faith"), a committee of Cardinals with the duty of overseeing the
propagation of Christianity by missionaries sent to non-Catholic countries.
Therefore, the term itself originates with this Roman Catholic Sacred
Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith (sacra congregatio christiano
nomini propagando or, briefly, propaganda fide), the department of the
pontifical administration charged with the spread of Catholicism and with
the regulation of ecclesiastical affairs in non-Catholic countries (mission
territory).
The actual Latin stem propagand- conveys a sense of "that which ought to be
spread". Originally the term was not intended to refer to misleading
information. The modern political sense dates from World War I, and was not
originally pejorative.>>
Re.: McDonalds: don't worry about the health aspects of McDonalds. Harry
has
assured us that after one of their customers has developed cancer or
diabetes or whatever, he will simply not go back and McDs will go out of
business. See, the free market DOES work.
Even the McD CEO died of colorectal cancer, just 2 weeks after
he replaced his predecessor who had died of a sudden heart attack.
Well, at least McD CEOs walk their talk and actually eat at McD.
And generations of the "Marlboro man" died of lung/throat cancer.
Sort of "truth in advertising", at least IRL.
