alor, our protest should he and
must be made against the inhuman
persecution of the Church in Yugo
slavia by the Tito regime.
“Millions of Catholics in Yugo
slavia, particularly in Slovenia and
Croatia, if they read th. story
which Mr. Hill has written and
sent to his newspaper, will have
their confidence shaken in the
government and people of the
United States, to which they have
looked so long in their days of
darkness as protagonists of human
freedom.”
Cardinal Stritch also disputed
the statement by Mr. Hill that “to
day the Roman Catholic Church is
getting along well under the re
gime of Marshal Tito -nd does not
want to participate in any cam
paign on Stepinac’s behalf.”
The Cardinal declared: “Mr. Hill
had not seen many Catholics, cer
tainly not representative ones, in
Yugoslavia when he wrote. The
plain fact is that the Roman Cath
olic Church is being as cruelly and
bitterly and unjustly persecuted to
day as it has been throughout the
entire Tito regime In Yugoslavia.
“From the best possible sources
it is known that at least 378 priests
have been executed. Practically ev
ery priest, at one time or another,
has been imprisoned and there are
still 400 priests in Tito’s jails.
Over 3,000 Sisters were forced to
discard their religious garbs and
hundreds of these are in either
work or concentration camps. Of
the 1,196 Catholic
Yugoslavia, over 600
resident priests
“More than half of
ies where priests are trained, in
that country have been closed and
the properties confiscated. Most of
the religious congregations have
been dispersed and the state has
taken over their properties. The
Catholic press has been liquidated.

“It is heartbreaking

Bishop Paschang, now 30 years in
China, a gentleman 56 years of age
who has given his entire life to the
Chinese. During the bitter years
of the recent war he was known
by the Chinese as ‘the Little Bish
op of Charity’ because he gave all
that he had to relieve their suffer
ings.
“Yet 1 am sure that Bishop Pas
chang will want us to do what is
best for the Church in China. He
ha witnessed the steady march of
the Reds in their destruction of all
spiritual ideals among the Chinese
as they have advanced from the
north to the south.

na, their fellow missioners in the
remainder of the country braced
themselves for the day that it
would strike them. When in the

the country, priests were thrown in

those in the south labored on
against the approaching black days.
“Now during the last year the
same devilish pattern has been un
folding in South China. In striking
the Maryknoll fields in Kwang

“Bishop Francis X. Ford of Kay

and is still held incommunicado,
while numerous other South China
priests have been jailed for vari

Many of the Maryknoll Sisters have

should protest vigorously against
this barbarism."

iAnd After This, Our Exile
Archbishop Aloysius Stepinac of Zagreb, Primate of Yugoslavia, is
shown before the altar of the village church in Krasic following his
first Mass since his unconditional release from prison, where he
served five years of a 16-year sentence imposed by a Red-controlled
court on trumped-up charges. He has been forbidden to perform his
duties of Archbishop or to leave the village without permission of
the Tito regime.

The Archbishop thus reaffirmed
his complete innocence in the face
of the official announcement which
based his release on two articles
of the “Law on Punishment, Secur

Measures.” These articles provide
for the conditional release of a per
son after he has served half his
term, “if he shows by his behavior
that he has been corrected to such
a degree that it could be expected
he will commit no more criminal
deeds," or before he has served

correspondents made it plain
that “I did not ask to be released
(from prison), because I do not
feel 1 am guilty. My situation has
hardly changed as a result of this
release.”
The Archbishop, who was de
scribed as looking well and saying
that he “cannot complain against
anyone” regarding his treatment
while imprisoned, lives in two
small, sparsely furnished rooms of
the parish rectory in Krasic.
Among the members of the parish,
totaling about 2,000 souls, are four
married sisters of Archbishop
Stepinac.
Feu of the faithful in the old
village church knew the identity of
