PAGE v THE BULLETIN, December 10, 1960 Catholics Accuse Castro Regime Of Defaming Bishop, University HAVANA, (NC) — Catholic organizations in Cuba have circulated a handbill accusing Premier Fidel Castro’s regime of defaming Villanueve Uni- \ersity and its rector, Auxili ary Bishop Eduardo Boza Mas vidal of Havana. The handbill charges that the university and its rector are targets of a “systematic campaign of public defama tion.” It says the purpose of this campaign is “to destroy their good name before the Cuban people.” The 13 organizations that signed the accusation said that any direct or indirect aggres sion against Vallanueva or its rector would be “an unjusti fied attack against the Church, the integrity of its educational institutions and the principle of free teachings.” The government and stu dent organizations controlled by it have brought heavy pressure on the university and Bishop Boza Masvidal. It is feared that the next govern ment step against Villanueve may, be the expulsion of all foreign teachers. The univer sity was established after World War II bv the Ameri can branch of the Augustin- ians. Another handbill circulated by Catholics contains strong criticisms of the Castro re gime by Bishon Boza Masvidal. The Bishop said that Catholics supported the revolution and its original aims but now de plore its drift toward com munism and against religion. Premier Castro renewed his attack on the university while the handbills were being cir culated. The attack was part of a violent diatribe directed against Catholic priests in gen eral and also against the U. S. government. Mr. Castro was speaking at Havana Univer sity. He charged that priests ac cepted bribes from sugar com panies to oppose his revolu tion. He called priests “hood lums in cassocks.” Hears Of Efforts To Aid Ex-Cubans By Marjorie Fillyaw (N.C.W.C.

Radio Replies To Soviet Charges Tlat Church Is Enemy Of African Freedom (Radio, NCWC News Service) VATICAN CITY —. Vati can Radio gave an immediate reply to Soviet charges that the Vatican is “the most im placable enemy of liberation movements among colonial peoples” in Africa. “The truth is that this Soviet propaganda is contradicted by past and recent historical facts,” a Vatican Radio com mentator said. Vatican Radio replied (Nov. 28) to the Red attack the day after it was published in the Soviet Communist party news paper Pravda. Pravda’s edi torial was entitled “Colonial ists in Cassocks.” The Vatican Radio broad cast said .Catholic missions contributed to cultural, civil and social maturity in the Af rican nations and “brought them to the threshold of in dependence and freedom.” It pointed out that the Holy See had fostered a native cler gy and developed a native episcopacy. It pointed out that the Church had created a Ne gro cardinal, Laurian Cardinal Rugambwa, Bishop of Buko- ba, Tanganyika. The broadcast emphasized how the Church had for years devoted itself to the forma tion and education of an Afri can laity capable of assuming the highest responsibilities in public life with full civic and Christian maturity. It pointed out that some of the most prominent leaders of today’s Africa are products of mission schools. The Vatican Radio commen tator went on to quote state ments of the Catholic Bishops of South Africa, the Congo, the Sudan and Rhodesia defending the right of “a progressive en lightened desire for full auto nomy and independence.” Finally, he quoted appeals by the late Pope Pius XII and His Holiness Pope John XXIII for every assistance to the new African nations to help them develop their new freedom “free from prejudices, protect ed against false nationalism and capable of extending to those peoples the real values of Christian civilization.” LAYHEX ROST laSHK MISTY OF JUSTICE OF SCHOOL HID PLEA (N.C.W.C. NEWS SERVICE) CINCINNATI—Catholic lay men must persuade the gen eral community that their ar guments for public assistance in sending their children to Catholic schools are just, ac cording to Archbishop Karl J. Alter of Cincinnati. “We don’t want any direct subsidy to Church or school,” he said, “but we don’t object to parents’ receiving aid to the extent of the cost of edu cating the children in public schools.” “Why shouldn’t the school board give the money to the parents to pay to the school of their choice?” he asked. “The justice, equity and practicability of such a plan must be demonstrated,” Arch bishop Alter told 850 delegates to the biennial convention of the Cincinnati Archdiocesan Council of Catholic Men (Nov. 27). He added that it is “up to the laity” to “e d u c a te the community to the justice of this position.” The Archbishop stressed that U.S. Catholics support the public school system. If public schools didn’t exist, “we’d have tq create them,” he said. In order to correct misun derstandings about the Church and achieve effective public relations, Catholic laymen “must carry more weight in civic community activities,” he said. “We must carry our share of community responsibility in programs of relief and charity and social welfare,” he stated. “We cannot be living in an exclusive enclave of our own,” The convention also heard the executive secretary of the National Office for Decent Literature warn that paper back books “specializing in perversion” have become a national problem. Msgr. Thomas J. Fitzgerald of Chicago said that three years ago there were only 17 publishers of popular paper backs, but today there are 35. “Most the new publishers are concentrating on perver sion,” he charged. The convention adopted resolutions calling for “greater participation by the laity in the liturgy” and the “promo tion of religious education of children by their parents in the home.” Nun Is Nation's Leading Commuter NEW ORLEANS (NC) — Sister Maty Magdalen is probably the nation’s leading long-distance commuter.
