Isn't there even a graduate students "somewhere" who would be
interested in the stuff? If you once found it of value, unless you now
consider it is no longer of value, maybe someone else would
find it of value -- not many, perhaps, but perhaps yet a "saving
remnant"?

No, I found it as an ERIC citation in a Google search for: "The
propaganda of saints in the middle ages" (I remembered the
title...) -- damn ERIC! which, fortunately,
I never had to deal with at Teachers College -- it ws just
something else to jerk students around
with instead of the relevant documents being offered
to the student without the latter having to "work for it" -- I
repeat my contention that I can understand poor and middling
persons putting up with what students are subjected to
because they have no choice, but
it's sick when rich people let their children undergo such indignities.
But I do have the photocopies of this article
in their own manila folder in a box of similar files from the early
1980s -- it's just "in storage", so I can't enjoy reading the text. But
the citation sounds right. And perhaps it was a pro-Church article
as Chris writes, but, if it was, I found it meaningful nonetheless,
clearly, meaningful enough to make several copies of it and put them
in my pre-computer era files.
I probably read the article in the IBM Watson Research Center library --
they
used to get lots of "good" non-IBM business related journals.
Don't follow the leader: follow the audit trail!

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.
