Pope Condoms Russian Action In Hungary
(Radio, N.C.W.C. News Service)
VATICAN CITY — His Holi
ness Pope Pius XII has condemn
ed Soviet use of force to re
impose its control on Hungary
and called anew for prayers for
peace in the third encyclical let
ter he has issued in two weeks.
Entitled Datis Nuperrime (Most
Recently Addressed), after the
first two words of its Latin text,
the encyclical declared that “eve
ry violence, every unjust spilling
of blood . . .'is always illicit.”
Announcing his own prayers
for those who have been killed in
strife-torn Hungary, the Holy
Father added:
“We desire also that all Chris
tians join their prayers to Gurs
for this purpose.”
The Pope did not mention the
Russians by name, but protested
against the “sad deeds” in Hun
gary which have provoked “the
bitter sorrow and indignation not
only of the Catholic world, but
also of all free people.” He declar
ed that a people’s desire for free
dom cannot be “smothered in
blood.”
The Pope warned the Russians
that God. who “often punishes
the sins of private individuals on
ly after death, sometimes, as his
tory teaches, also strikes in -this

life at governors and nations . . . —
for their injustice.”
The Holy Father recalled his two
recent requests for peace pray
ers in the encyclicals Luctuos-
issimi Eventus (Most Sorrowful
Events) and Laetamur Admodum
(It is a Great Joy). In the lat
ter, he noted, he had expressed
the hope that the Hungarian up
rising would lead to peace based
on justice, “because it seemed
that in that nation events would
have a favorable development.”
Later, he continued, news came
“which filled Our soul with a
most painful bitterness.”
“It is known,” the Holy Father
said, “that through the cities and
villages of Hungary there flows
anew the generous blood of citi
zens who eagerly desire ... a
just freedom. It is also known
that national institutions, hardly
established, have been over
thrown and destroyed, that hu
man rights have been violated and
that a new servitude has been
imposed upon the blood-drenched
people by foreign arms.
“Therefore . . . We can do no
less than protest and deplore these
sad deeds.”
The Pope concluded by ex
pressing the hope that God will
“touch the heart of those res
ponsible in such a way that in
justice would at last be ended, all
violence would cease and all na
tions. brought to peace among
themselves, would again find
right order in an atmosphere of
serene tranquillity.”
