ly minded. We have to think and
love, suffer and rejoice, super-
naturally, by faith and love and
hope. We have to feel the breath
of this immortality within us,
to be “alive to God,” to rise
above our mortal weakness and
sin. This is what St. Paul
writes about in the sixth chap
ter of his epistle to the Ro
mans: “You know well enough
that we who were taken up into
Christ by baptism have been
taken up, all of us, into his
death. In our baptism, we have
been buried with him, died like
him that so, just as Christ was
raised up by his Father’s po
wer from the dead, we too might
live and move in a new kind of
existence. We have to be closely
fitted into the pattern of his
resurrection, as we have been
into the pattern of his death. . .
the death he died was a death,
once for all, to sin; the life he
now lives is a life that looks
towards God. And you, too, must
think of yourselves as dead to
( sin, and alive with a life that
looks towards God, through
Christ Jesus our Lord” (Rom.
6:3-11). This is our Easter
Resurrection, our present
resurrection in Christ, the be
ginning and pledge of our final
resurrection with him in his
eternal Easter light. Alleluia!

■U. N. Commission-
Fails To Act On Religious
Intolerance Statement
UNITED NATIONS, N. Y.~
Lack of time, caused in large
part by delaying tactics by So
viet bloc countries, prevented
the United Nations Human
Rights Commission from com
pleting action on a proposed
declaration calling for the eli
mination of all forms of reli
gious intolerance.
Communist nations’ delaying
tactics, U.N. observers believe,
sought to prevent any U.N. de
claration to safeguard religious
freedom. At the same time, the
communist bloc tried to have
the proposed declaration word
ed so that it would equate re
ligion with “nonreligious be
lief” and spell out the right
to atheistic propaganda activi
ties.
The Soviets and their allies
first attempted to block a pro
posal that, in order to gain
time, called for the establish
ment of a working group to deal
with the religious intolerance
declaration while regular com
mission sessions were devoted
to the top priority item of draft
ing a treaty to ban racial dis
crimination. Despite Soviet op
position, the working group was
set up and met before regu
larly scheduled commission
sessions. The representative of
the Soviet Union then tried to
filibuster both at regular ses
sions and working group meet
ing.
But the working group, after
some eventual Soviet compro
mises, was finally able to re
vise six articles of the text
submitted to the Human Rights
Commission by the subcommis
sion on prevention of discrimi
nation, which met last January.
By the time the working
group submitted its report,
however, the commission had no
time to discuss it. Instead it
decided to send it, together
with the subcommission’s text
and the comments of govern
ments, to the U.N. Economic
and Social council. It request
ed that the council, which meets
in July in Geneva, give these
documents “such further con
sideration as it finds practi
cable” and transmit them to
the General Assembly for fur
ther action.
The report of the working
group reflects the basic pro
blem met in drafting any state
ment on religious freedom or
intolerance that is to be uni
versally acceptable. That is the
conflict over the definition of
the terms “religion and be
lief.” The Soviet bloc felt that
the phrase “religion and belief”
as used in the subcommission’s
text did not adequately cover the
idea of “nonreligious belief.”
But the report noted that
“there was no disagreement
in the working group that the
declaration should protect
equally the right to adhere to
any religion and the right to
maintain any nonreligious be
lief.”
In the main, the six articles
as revised by the working group
reaffirm the right to freedom of
thought, conscience and reli
gion. They condemn discrimi
nation on the ground of reli
gion or belief as a violation
of the U.N. Charter and of the
Universal Declaration of Hu
man Rights, as well as “an ob
stacle to friendly and peaceful
relations among nations.”
They state that no individual
group shall “be subjected by
any state, institution, group or
individual on the ground of re
ligion or belief to any discri
mination in the recognition, ex
ercise and enjoyment of human
rights and fundamental free
doms,” and that everyone has a
right "to effective relief by
competent national tribunals
against any acts violating the
rights set forth in this decla
ration.”
The articles declare that sta
tes “are to take effective
measures to prevent and eli
minate discrimination based on
religion or belief,” and enact or
rescind legislation where nec
essary for this purpose. The
right of parents or legal guar
dians to decide the religion or
belief in which a child should
be brought up is affirmed.
Article VI sets forth the
rights of individuals and "every
group or community” to mani
fest their religion or belief in
public or in private, to freedom
of worship and assembly, free
dom to establish and maintain
places of worship or assembly,
to teach and disseminate their
religion or belief, to maintain
and establish charitable and
educational institutions and to
express the implications of
religion or belief in public life,
and finally freedom to observe
the rites and customs of their
religion or belief.
Proposals which the work
ing group did not have time to
consider are contained in an an
nex to the report. These in
clude a Ukrainian proposal that
