2—THE CATHOLIC TIMES Thirty-four of them, recog nized by the former regime in Jashpur, lost government status after the state was merged with Madhya Pradesh, the prelate said. Branding this as a “crying in justice.” Bishop Sevrin said that it would be hard to find in the whole of India a clearer case nf “unabashed discrimination” against a minority. Pointing out that most of the Catholx schools served the Christian tribal community, con verted “untouchables, the Bish np said that the denial of recog nition threw upon this minority a very heavy burden They are de prived of facilities and conces sions ao lavishly conferred on non-Christian “untouchables” hy the state government, the Bishop added. Th* whole situation, he de clared, is clearly illegal and flouts provisions of the Indian constitution guaranteeing non discriminatory treatment of ed ucational institutions sponsored by religious minorities. Bishop Sevrin refuted the charge of state authorities that Catholic schools are maintained chiefly as an instrument for con versions.

J. Aitfony KUNKURI. India (NC) An Indian bishop has rais ed his voice against what he calls the “blatantly notorious” policy of discrimination followed by state authorities against Catholic schools in his area. Bishop Oscar Sevrin, S.J., of Raigarh-Ambikapur said that there exists a "deep-laid conspiracy" to starve all Catholic schools in Jashpur out of existence. The prelate said he found evi dence of this conspiracy in the consistent refusal of recognition and financial aid by the Madhya Pradesh state government the legal successor of the former Raja-governed slate of Jashpur, to Catholic schools. The Bishop noted that out of 108 (atholic schools in Jashpur only two have been recognized. “untouchables” were converted tol Christianity long before any school was started by mission! aries.

W C~ Church-State Relations Better In Poland, Problems Still Remain WARSAW (NO There is speculation in Polish political and Church circles, concerning what Polish com munist leader Boleslaw Gomulka will do to follow up his brilliant tactical move of freeing and completely restoring to power His Eminence Stefan Cardinal Wyszynski. Primate of Poland. Many problems are left unsolved, even after the sign ing of the Church-state agree ment early in December. The problem of the proper training of seminarians has arisen, in addition to the knot ty difficulties concerned with the restoretion of Catholic church organizations, the re storetion of churches by the State and the status of the so called “progressive" priests. Even Gomulka has acknow ledged that the faith of the Po lish people, coupled with their trong devotion to the Church and her hierarchy, maite it all but impossible to drive them to a position of submission. Since his restoration, Cardinal Wyszynski has limited himself to Church affairs, acting with great discretion and prudence. His de mands and requests have been made through official communi cations, rather than through ser mons or public media. During the end of October, when Warsaw and all of Poland were taut with anxiety and grow ng fear oj political upheaval, the Cardinal spoke out: “It is earier to die with honor for freedom than to toil and struggle for the future of the people under had auspices.** The people of Poland were heartened by these words. While Gomulka conferred with work ers’ representatives to bring about certain reforms, u'ord I swept through the country that a move was being considered to bring about a new understanding between Church and State. It was during this time that the Polish people became strongly aware that a new' area of Polish nistory was coming into existence. Poland was ris ing with strength and new con viction from the dark shadow of communism. Both Church and state recog nize the necessity oi pledges of mutual aid and cooperation tn the coming struggle to forge a new national destiny. This willingness to cooperate made some members of the com mission of Church-state affairs realize that complete enslave ment of the Church was no longer possible. If such had been their opinion during the days of Stal inism. they saw that they would now have to compromise, for the sake of national unity and strength. The question of the reorgan izing of certain Catholic organi zations is still open, although Gomulka has declared that he w'ould allow no Catholic youth organization to be formed Cardinal Wyszynski has not made any open comment on this remark. But, since there are Catholic youth organizations throughout the world, it is sup “Peaceon earth. good will to men” •$** 0* & & & **f & & 4* posed that the government will soon have to face the problem with a more reasonable and prac tical attitude. There is still no telling, however, how long the government can hold out on this point. It has been conjectured that the Polish people are o satisfied with the concessions granting the restoration of religious training in the schools that they will not push for greater liberty right away. 5 I But this is not true. There are other problems which are quite pressing which Catholics want solved. a For example. Church officials are anxious that the government make possible the reopening of theological schools. This could only be brought about by the of ficial reinstatement of the theo togical faculties in the Red-con trolled university of Poland. The Polish hierarchy has not forgotten these points. As soon as the full import of the new agree ments has been felt throughout the country, it is expected that, one by one. all these important issues will be raised until settled. Cardinal Wyszynski is sched uled to leave Warsaw for Rome soon. After a private audience with His Holiness Pope Pius XII, he is expected to make announce ments of great importance con cerning the Church in Poland. By these announcements, the world will be able to come to a better understanding of what the Church’s position has been in Po land under the shadow of com munism. -----------------o----------------- Friends of St. Rita Sponsor Statue Sale The Friends of St. Rita are sponsoring Christmas sale of Infant Jesus of Prague statues.
