Spiritual Bouquet
WASHINGTON, (NC) — Nearly
150.000 American Catholic women
joined with Catholic women
throughout the world and offered
to His Holiness Pope Pius XII
their work and prayer on the feast
of the Immaculate Heart of Mary,
August 22.
Responding to an appeal cir
culated by the National Council of
Catholic Women, each of these
women offered an entire day’s
work in recognition of the uncea
sing labor of the Pope, as part of a
worldwide offering from the
World Union of Catholic Women’s
Organizations.
From all parts of the United
States and from women’s groups
in the new Military Council of
Catholic Women—Europe came
offerings. Some were from small
groups who pledged their entire
membership of four or five, others
were from larger bodies. One large
archdiocesan organization pledged
100.000 women to offer the day
for the Holy Father. Further gifts
of Masses, visits to the Blessed
Sacrament, Rosaries and other de
votions accompanied the offerings,
When the World Union of Cath
olic W o m e n’s Organizations
assembles in Rome in October,
this spiritual bouquet will be pre
sented to the Pontiff as an offering
from the Catholic women of the
world.

sects. The latter, he said, special
ize in propaganda methods “in
which they mock the most che
rished dogmas of Catholics, such
as belief in the Holy Eucharist
and veneration of the most holy
Mother of God.”
“Since the people of Colombia
are Catholic and, generally, love
their religion fervently,” he said,
“they would easily react in the
impetuous and rough manner of
laborers and peasants. There come
into play at such times clubs,
stones, petards (home-made
bombs), etc. But rarely is there
shooting or serious injury.”
Father Ospina said also that
Protestants in Colombia have gen
erally aligned themselves with
the anti-clerical liberals, and as
such, have often joined the guer
rillas in the provinces warring
against the conservative govern
ment. The liberal bandits and the
conservatives and the national
army have both suffered “mutual
and very harsh reprisals, the Jes
uit said, adding: “For the same
reason, Protestants implicated in
the warfare have, like the rest,
suffered deaths, fires, confisca
tions, the closing of schools and
places of worship, etc.”
The Colombian spokesman
charged that the Protestant Con
federation of Colombia (CEDEC)
has served as a clearinghouse for
propaganda aimed at persuading
the world that there is in fact
“persecution” of Protestants in
this country. This campaign, he
said, has involved “representing
serious violence stemming from
political intervention as caused
by religious hatred,” and combin
ing this with actual but minor
religious conflicts of a local na
ture.
Stating that the Protestant pro
paganda campaign is “in its sum
total a terrible campaign of defa
mation,” Father Ospina declared:
“We believe that in the history
of international relations, there
has not been a greater attack of
a political nature to attain the
religious penetration of a Catholic
people. In reality this campaign
has been largely a persecution of
calumny against the Catholic
| Church.”
