Reds Using Subtle Approach
To .Wipe Out Czech Church
Former Prague Prelate States
‘Slow Poison’ Taetie Employed
MUNICH, Germany (NC) The Catholic Church in
Czechoslovakia is not so much being clubbed over the head as
being stealthily fed doses of poison. The new approach to kill
ing off the Church is believed just as effective by the Reds,
and it creates less furor among the people.
This analysis of the treatment of
the Church in communist Czecho
slovakia is made by Father Alex
ander Heidler, former professor of
theology al Prague University
now a religious broadcaster
Radio Free Europe here.

But at the same time she is adding
small doses of poison to his food

will disintegrate and he will die.

Father Heidler compared
communist regime to an unfaith
ful wife who is plotting to get rid
of her husband. To avoid suspicion,
he said, the wife tells everyone
how wonderful her husband is and
Likewise the communist re
gime in Czechoslovakia loudly
proclaims religious freedom and
even feigns benevolence to the
Church through financial contri
butions to priests, Father Heid
ler declared. But all the while
the regime is slyly infecting a
whole series of poisons into the
body of the Church.
the
These poison injections do not
make headlines, the priest said,
but they are designed to eat away
at the very structure of the
Church.
He listed the following “poisons”
that are fed to the Church: restric
tions on all the Bishops, isolation
of the clergy, secret “trials” and
sentences of the clergy', establish
ment of communist-supervised
“seminaries,” curtailment of re
ligious instruction in schools, and
insidious efforts to keep the people
from church.
Not a single Catholic Bishop
Is today actively directing his di
ocese in Czechoslovakia, Father
Heidler pointed out. Even those
Bishops who are not formally un
der errest or in jail are kept iso
lated from their clergy and faith
ful, he said. Regime-appointed
officials have taken over the ac
tive direction of the dioceses.

fee-
Czechoslovak priests, Father
Heidler continued, find themselves
alone and helpless. They are not
permitted to call on their Bishops
for consultation. Mail to the Bish
op is answered by someone else or
ignored. Priests are not even per
mitted to visit a colleague in a
neighboring parish without the per
mission of local Red authorities.
Red “secretaries” keep a constant
watch on the priest. He knows that
an incautious word could land him
in prison or bring his "induction’’
into the army. Even while hearing
confessions he must be on his
guard because Red agents might
try to lure him into giving advice
that could later be construed as
“anti-State.”
The two regime-supported “sem
inaries’* are designed to make sure
that all future priests are also
apostles of communism, Father
Heidler charged.
Instruction Sabotaged
The traditional religious instruc
tion in the schools has been sabo
taged through the following mea
sures. Father Heidler said: Instruc
tion has been cut to include only
the second to the seventh grade.
When classes are held they are at
the end of the day to encourage
youngsters to skip them and go
home. Children attending the class
es must have the written permis
sion of their parents. Parents who
grant this permission find them
selves subtly discriminated against.
No classes are given at all unless
there are at least 50 pupils who
can secure the permission of then
parents. When classes are held the
regime tries to-appoint a commun
ist as the instructor in religion.
The regime discourages church
attendance by organizing “volun
tary work brigades” and holding
important party meetings on Sun
days. Father Heidler added. Local
officials also make frequent use
of the right to close the church be
cause of “epidemics”. The Red ar
gument is that the gathering of
such a large number of people
would only serve to spread that
disease. At the same time no sim
ilar ban is put on theaters or party
meetings, the priest said.
