It was certainly not wrong to
collect information. In an investi
gation all data, especially declara
tions of the offended party, are
very necessary for a proper judg
ment.
The mistake was in making a
final judgment on partial informa
tion as if it were the entire and
irrefutable truth. The conviction
that this information is irrefutable
seems to be evident in the way the
secretariate of the Evangelical
Confederation in Columbia put it
into English and sent it abroad for
immediate release.
The secretariate told a vorld
wide audience a tale of horrible
crimes as if the partial concept
they had formed were a “death
sentence” without appeal.
To illustrate how partial and
misleading the “facts” related in
the Evangelical “Reports” are,
here follow some Evangelical re
ports and then findings on the
same cases by a Catholic commit
tee..

WHICH
WINE
IS RIGHT
with any food?
A Rood rule to remember is that
white wines go with white meats
red wines go with red meats.
But did you know there’s a wine
that's rijht with any food?
It’s Napa Rose, the new pinle
wine of The Christian Brothers,
vintners of famous American wines
for over seventy years. Smooth,
mellow and fragrant, Napa Rose
has a pleasing flavor which blends
well with meat, fish or fowl. To
enhance its flavor, serve this wine
thoroughly
chilled. To
gether with
many other
superb wines,
moderately
priced Napa
Rose is pro
duced and bot
tled by The
Christian
Brothers of California, who have
owned and operated their vine
yards in California’s fertile Napa
Valley for many years.

Writer Finds "Persecution’
Reports In Columbia Inexact
The author of the following article u a professor at the Xaverian Catholic University of Bogota
ana the National University of Bogota and vice president of the Colombian National Committee for the
Defense of the. Faith. Condensed from hts book, “The Protestort Denominations in Colombia.” the
article points out inaccuracies in the persecution reports” issued by Protestant representatives in Co-
By Father Eduardo Osoina, S.J.
(N.C.W.C. NEWS SERVICE)
Protestant representatives in Colombia who spread charges of “religious persecution*’
hiough their Reports made fundamental errors in compiling so-called cases of persecu-
First, they accepted any information from individuals without really verifying it.
Second, they deliberately excluded all information from the other side.
12, Nov. 30, 1953:
“In Molinero (Atlantico Dept.)
the newly constructed Protestant
church was destroyed by a dyna
mite bomb at midnight, August 28,
1953. Financial loss to the congre
gation is about 5,000 pesos. The
side walls and roof were complete
ly destroyed and the church will
have to be rebuilt.
“Threats of bombing had circu
lated for some time, but the
church members went ahead with
the construction. There were no
witnesses to the bombing, though
the caretaker’s family, living at the
same lot, heard the explosion and
subsequent collapse of the struc
ture.
“The attack was reported the
next day to Sr. Saul Diaz, judge
of the first court in the municipal
seat of Sabanalarga, and an inves
tigation ordered. To date no ac
tion has been taken and Sr. Diaz
refuses to discuss the case with
church members.
“Photographs of the ruins, en
closed herewith for the principal
news agencies, are available to
others on request.”
Here’s the report received by
the Catholic committee from Bish
op Francesco Gallego Perez of Bar
ranquilla:
“The chapel in question was
built without a strong foundation.
During the night of August 28, one
of the side walls collapsed and as
a consequence the roof also came
down and fell into the building.
“The civil authorities at Sab
analarga made an on-the-spot in
vestigation through a conscien-
tious and experienced engineer,
who with two construction fore
men, examined the debris, the
topographic conditions, and'the
building materials. They agreed
unanimously that the collapse
was due to faulty construction
... I guarantee that the above
information is the complete
truth."
Evangelical Report, Bulletin 4,
May-June 1952:
“The city of Barrancabermeja,
Department of Santander, was in
the midst of preparation to receive
the National Peace Committee
“The priest. Father Victor Gril
lo, told the children to stone the
church of the Protestants. For
about 15 minutes the children in
the procession threw rocks and
stones at the building
“Sunday night, May 25. the Na
tional Peace Committee ended its
visit in Barrancabermeja with a
mass meeting of all citizens in the
public square, half a block from
the Protestant church. During this
public demonstration the priests
shouted over the loud speakers:
‘Down with the Protestants!’, and
the people shouted back: ‘Down
with the Protestants!’ .”
Report received by the Catholic
committee from Father Victor M.
Grillo, S.J., pastor at Barrancaber
meja:
“It is false to affirm that Father
Victor Grillo ordered stones to be
thrown. It is true that several chil
dren threw stones. But they did
so on their own, for about three
minutes, until the priest could get
out of the procession and stop
them

“There was a Catholic gathering
of about 2,500 to 3,000 in the park.
All these people can testify that
the speakers, Sr. Duque Villegas,
Father Luis Carlos Ramirez, Dr.
Esquerra Serrano and Mrs. de Ber

with the Protestants!’ They spoke
over loudspeakers, but did not
mention the Protestants at all.”
