Rome Questions Source
Of Lithuanian Pastoral
VATICAN CITY (NC) The authenticity of a pastoral
attributed to the onlv Catholic Bishop in Lithuania has been
questioned in a front-p$ge article in Osservatore Romano, Vat
ican City daily.
The pastoral, published in the communist press, was at
tributed to Bishop Casimir Paltarokas of Panexezys, 77, the
onlv Bishop still permitted to function in Lithuania. It cited
what is called “positive facts’’ to
disprove “enemy propaganda’’
that there is no freedom of relig
ion in Lithuania
two
pas*
Osservatore Romano raises
problems regarding the alleged
toral:
(1) The letter’s terminology
fests it was written not by a Bish
op but by one unfamiliar with
Church phraseology.
(2) The “positive facts’’ cited to
prove that “freedom of religion’’
exists, actually demonstrate that
the Church is severely repressed.
SUg-
The pastoral states that there are
now 688 churches open in Lithuan
ia. served by 741 priests, and there
is a seminary at Kaunas with 75
students.
But, Osservatore notes, in 1939,
there were 900 churches open in
Lithuanie, served by some 1,600
diocesan and SOO order priest*.
Th* pastoral makes no mention
of th* three seminaries closed by
th* regime, nor of th* fact that
as late as 1945 the Kaunas sem-

inary still had 300 seminarians..
The alleged pastoral speaks of
two archdioceses and four dioceses
in the country, Osservatore notes,
but says nothing of the seven
Bishops who were imprisoned, mur
dered or forced into exile by the
Soviet regime. It ignores the fact
that more than a thousand priests
have been deported, imprisoned or
exiled.
The pastoral says nothing of the
fact that the civic rights of priests
still in IJthuania have been cur
tailed, that they are under con
stant police vigilance, that they
are burdened with exorbitant, base
less taxes. It passes over in sil
ence the fact that churches must
pay "luxury taxes" like places of
amusement.
The pastoral'* “positive facts"
demonstrate, at most, only a lim
ited freedom of worship, Osser
vetore concludes. History shows
that this limited freedom of wor
ship is progressively curtailed as
communism consolidates its pow
er in a country. It become* al
most non-existent after com
munism has held sway for many
years, like in Russia.
The article then paid tribute
to "the heroic faithful, who in spite
of slow suffocation remain stead
fast in the faith through a perse
cution which only the most pharisa.
ical hypocrisy can stamp as
‘religious freedom’.”

Idiocy it is—idiocy of the pur

anybody who could pass such a law
to start babbling and drooling at
any moment.
Fully to express the utter foolish
ness of the thing is impossible. But
1 will do the best I can.
Here is a woman—any woman.
Like every other human being,
she has the inalienable right to se
lect for herself any respectable
walk in life.
She can be a nurse or a typist.
She can be a wife and mother. She
can be a musician, an interior dec
orator, a designer, an artist. No
body has the remotest right to
say her nay.
She can also, if she wants to, be
a nag, a shrew, a nuisance —or a
temptress who goes about smashing
families and ruining lives. She has
no real right to be that sort of
thing, but |here is no law on the
books that says she can’t. She can
also dress as sensibly—or as fool
ishly- as she pleases.
Well, this particular woman de
cides to dedicate her life to serv
ing God and her fellowmen.
In order to do that singleminded
ly and completely, she gives up ev
erything that might interfere.
She gives up beaus. She gives up
marriage, children, home life She
gives up comforts she embraces
poverty.
She also gives up one of the

that every reasonable person re
specks, and respects deeply. We
admire unselfishness, gentleness,
humility, patience, long suffering
no matter where we see them.
But the ridiculous men who hate
religion and goodness hate every
thing that reminds them of religion
and goodness.
The Calles regime in Mexico, like
the Communist regimes in many
countries today, hated God and the
things of God. Calles tried to wipe
out the very memory of God in
Mexico.
He failed, as these fools always
tail. He is gone, and God and re
ligion remain. But some of the im
becilic Calles laws survive.
And so. Gen. Miguel Flore/ Vil
lar ot the Mexicon Army called the
police and had Sister Guadalupe
arrested.
The thing ended amusinglx Sis
ter Guadalupe explained at the po
lice station that the "religious
garb" was a uniform. Uniforms are
legal in Mexico. The police joyfully
set her free.
Isn’t it high time the Mexican
government repealed its insane
anti-religious laws?
Government cannot afford to
make itself ridiculous. And the
Mexican government is mad? pre
posterous by incidents like the ar
rest of Sister Guadalupe.

Adaption Of Religious Orders
To Modern Needs Is Stressed
RIO DE JANEIRO. Brazil (NO
The importance of adapting the
ideals and activities of congrega
tions and Orders to modern needs
was stressed here at the first na
tional Congress of Religious.
Twelve hundred nuns and about
300 Religious, representing over
150 institutions, attended the Con
gress. which was presided over by
Father Arcadio Lairacona, C.M.F.,
secretary of the Sacred Congrega
tion of Religious in Rome. Topics
discussed included the recruiting of
vocations, training for the religious
life, the specific apostolic aims of
the congregations, and the relations
existing between them.
“We must do today what the
founder of each Order or congre
gation would do if alive now,
and if that founder was acquaint
ed with the problems and needs
of contemporary society," one of
the delegates declared.
The nuns held their sessions at
the College of Sion and those of
the Religious took place at the Col
lege of San Jose, a Marist institu
tion.
Major outcome of the, Congress
was the formation of a Conference
of Superiors of the Religious that
will coordinate its activities with

ed to deal with catechetical educa
tion, the preparation of statistical
reports and other specific matters.
Statistics exhibited during the
Congress showed that there are 37
Brazilian religious congregations,
some organized in three or four
provinces. The figures disclosed
that Religious priests in Brazil
numbered 4,213 at the end of 1953,
while professed nuns and lay Bro
thers totalled 2.070 and 2.923 re
spectively.
Feature of the Congress was a
course for priests engaged in ad

with social legislation, the laws re
lating to minors, banking opera
tions, contracts, and trade union
and fiscal laws.
