Cardinal Issues Plea For Safety TORONTO, (NC) — Every citizen “has a moral obligation in addition to the law of the land, to protect the life of his fellowmen,” His Eminence James Charles McGuigan, Arch bishop of Toronto, declared in a message to Ontario motorists. A public highway safety cam paign has been given full sup port of all Catholic Bishops of Canada and “Safety Sunday” will be observed in most Can adian dioceses on May 10. “Those who drive without a license, those who drive with excessive speeds, those who drive under the influence of al cohol or drugs, expose them selves to doing things which normally they would not do, yet they cannot excuse themselves from negligence in a very grave matter,” Cardinal McGuigan said. “One is never justified in placing oneself in a situation like that, even though in a par ticular case we escape unscath ed,” he said. Cardinal McGuigan suggested the following prayer for mo torists: “Lord, lead us today in safe ty through the paths of this busy world. Help me to keep my mind and eyes on the road while my heart rests in Thee. Let me see in each of those who walk or ride an image of Thee, dear Lord. Keep me in your gracious care so that all my journeys may lead at last to Thee. Amen.” Couple Who Accused Bishop of Slander Have Separated PRATO, Italy (Radio, NC) — A couple whose marriage was the occasion of a widely publi cized lawsuit against Bishop Pietro Fiordelli of Prato have separated after little more than a year of married life. They are Mauro and Loriana Bellandi, whose charge of slan der against Bishop Fiordelli re sulted in his trial and con demnation. The trial was lat er appealed and the sentence was reversed. It was claimed that the trou ble between the Bellandis be gan when a Child born to them was baptized without the fa ther’s knowledge. Differences are said to have flared again between the couple when a hos pital in Russia offered to treat Mauro free for paralysis he suffered shortly after the open ing of Bishop Fiordelli’s trial in January, 1958 . According to Loriana, pass ports had been issued to both of them to go to Russia on East er Sunday, but she left Mauro with their 18-month-old son and returned to live with her par ents. She is reported to have stated that the reason she left was because her husband was given to fits of temper and had ceased to trust her. Mauro Bellandi, a commun ist, wed Loriana Nunziati, a Catholic, in a civil ceremony on August 12, 1956. Three days later a letter from Bishop Fior delli was read from the pulpit of Miss Nunziati’s church in which he referred to the civil ceremony as “a public scandal,” and said the couple were guilty of “public concubinage.” In July, 1957. Bellandi brought suit against the Bishop, charg ing that the publication of his letter had brought serious per sonal damage to him. In March, 1958, a Florence court imposed a suspended fine of 40.000 lire (about $65) on Bishop Fiordelli for allegedly defaming the Bel landis. He was also ordered by the court to pay the Bellan- di’s legal costs, about $675, and unspecified damages and other costs. On October 25, 1958, the Court of Appeals in Florence reversed the conviction of the Bishop for “defamation.” The court ruled that what the Bish op said about the Bellandis did not constitute a crime, and that he had acted within the limits of his office.
