Fr. Bissonnette Notes
Switch in Propaganda
By Father Georges Bleeonnette, A.A.
In the fir,ft of two ezclwsiue articles for ihe Catholic press
E'ather Bissonnette puts down .some answers to the many questions
asked him since his return to the United Sates. He wds ousted
from Moscow after spending over two years as Catholic chaplain to
the foreign colony there.
The recent power shift in the Soviet Union is unlikely to
have any bearing on the future of religious freedom there.
Communism, at least the Leninist communism prevailing
in the Soviet Union, is intrinsically atheistic. No matter who
holds the Red helm, be it Malenkov, Bulganin or Khrushchev,
he must necessarily be dedicated to extirpating what com
munism considers as “religious su
perstitions.”
I see no possibility at the pres
ent time of a rapprochement be
tween Christianity and commun
ism. There may at some, future
time be a rapprochement,' but it
will only come after communists no
longer look upon marxism as a
full-fledged substitute for religion.
Any understanding between the
Reds and Christianity must await
the time when they are content to
look upon communism as only an
economic and social system and
stop pretending that it is a relig
ion.

a^nSl
around to communism is not by
discriminating against them but by
patiently educating them so They
will “free themselves from relig
ious errors.”
I have frequently been asked
whether the recent accent on anti
religious propaganda in the Soviet
Union indicates a genuine relig
ious revival. I cannot say that I
have positive knowledge of such a
revival. But it is permissible to
draw the following conclusion:
If a propaganda campaign is
suddenly intensified or changed, a
safe assumption is that the former
campaign proved a failure. And
the Russian officials will admit
that it has failed.
The fact is that young people
were still being married in church,
baptized and educated in the faith.
They were even becoming adept
in answering the ridicule heaped
on religion. When one atheistic
lecturer ridiculed belief in a God,
because, as he put it, the world
was functioning so smoothly it did
not need a God, he got this reply
from his listeners:
“That just shows how stupid you
are and how smart God is. God is
so intelligent that He can make a
world which can run by itself.”
o u nist officialdom took
note of this and told the atheistic
agitators: “Ixiok what you have
done to these people. After all this
ridicule they arc now ridiculing
you," This is why Khrushchev
stressed that the anti-religious
propaganda should be based on
science and not ridicule.

was th* only Catholic priest
openly carrying on the ministry
in Russia. I know of at hast five
other priests openly doing pas
toral work there.
I have no idea how many Cathu
Ties there are in Russia. Before the
1917 Revolution it was estimated
that there were about eight mil
lion. 1 have no knowledge that any
priests might be secretly carrying
on priestly work in Russia. 1 know
that both the church in Moscow
and that in Leningrad are crowded
with Catholic worshippers.
The largest group of religious
believers in the Soviet Union is
the Russian Orthodox. There are
also about some 30.000.000 Mos
lems. They would ha' e something
to jump on.
Of course, the communists hope
for the day when everybody will
be so "enlightened” that no one
wants to practice any religion. But
as long as “religious superstition”
persists the Reds will leave just
enough freedom so they can point
to it in their propaganda and say.
“See. we have freedom of rehg
ion.”
(In his second article Father Bis
sonnette will analyze the workings
and effectiveness of the Soviet
propaganda on the Russians them
selves.)
