Vatican Eulogizes
Dead Irish Priest
VATICAN CITY (NC) -
The priest shot to death while
aiding a dying man in
Northern Ireland was a
“minister of God” whose last
act was a sign of love, not
hatred, said the Vatican City
daily newspaper.
The priest, Father Hugh
Mullan, was killed in a
cross-fire between British
soldiers and the Irish
Republican Army as he bent
to administer the last rites to
a man in a Belfast street.
In a front-page article,
L’Osservatore Romano called
for an end to what is
described as the “absurd and
antihistorical discriminations
against the Catholic
population, for whom
intolerable conditions of
economic and civil inferiority
are perpetuated.”
The Vatican daily said the
“heroic and holy sacrifice” of
30-year-old Father Mullan of
St. John’s and Corpus Christi
Church in Belfast “speaks
with shining eloquence.”
The priest, the paper said,
“was killed while giving
religious assistance to the
injured, fully aware of the
mortal danger . . .He said as a
minister of God, with his
hand raised in a blessing and
absolution, thus offering, at
the cost of his life, the answer
of love to civil or religious
hatred.”
Father Mullan is the first
priest to die in the latest
violence in Northern Ireland.
At least 20 persons were
killed in the rioting and gun
battles that followed Prime
Minister Brian Faulkner’s
order to jail rioters without
trial.
Church Donates Land
QUITO, Ecuador (NC) —
The Catholic Church’s land
reform program has received
13,802 acres of land in
donations from three
dioceses, the Chhurch’s
Ecuadorian Agricultural
Services (CESA) announced
here.
The land will be divided by
CESA, and distributed to
landless Indian families in
plots of approximately 10
acres each.
The Indians will also be
given technical assistance and
simple but modern
equipment, such as plows
especially designed for rocky
soil.
The Church reform
program was begun in 1969
at the urging of Bishop
Leonidas Proano of
Riobamba.
At that time the Church,
according to some experts,
was the second largest

landowner in the nation, the
first being the state.
The recent land
contributions were given by
the dioceses of Ibarra,
Ambato, and Cuenca, a
spokesman for CESA said. He
did not reveal, however, the
exact acreage given by each.
Earlier this year the Quito
archdiocese turned over
1,680 acres to the program,
bringing its total contribution
to 9,884, the highest of any
single diocese.
The second largest
contributor is the Riobamna
diocese which has turned over
7,695 acres.
Religious orders have also
donated large tracts of land,
but it is estimated that they
still hold a combined total of
741,000 acres of farmland.
Much of the land owned
by the Church in Ecuador
was received in the form of
land grants during the
colonial period. A substantial
amount was also gained from
bequests and donations.
PRAYING FOR SHOOTING VICTIM IN BELFAST, IRELAND
- Mourners kneel in prayer August 8 at the spot where truck
driver Harry Thornton was shot dead by a British soldier early
August 7. A trooper opened fire on the truck driven by
Thornton after shots were allegedly fired from it. Later reports
said the truck merely backfired. The Springfield Road police
station, located near the shooting, has been the target of two
days of demonstrations. (NC PHOTO)
AMIDST RUINS & BARRICADES OF BELFAST
Terror, Misery-Hopelessness
By Ernest Ostro
(NC News Service)
BELFAST, Northern
Ireland (NC) — Young
children are the only joyful
souls one sees amidst the
ruins and barricades of
Belfast these days.
To them, happily
uncomprehending what is
actually going on - it’s a
whole new bag of fun and
games in what could have
been a dull summer vacation.
Their bag of fun is complete
with real-life soldiers, guns
and army trucks.
For the rest of this dreary
city, there is aloof unconcern
in the downtown district -
untouched by the violence -
but elsewhere terror, misery
and, perhaps worst of all,
hopelessness.
Sporadic gun battles
became typical of the Belfast
scene.
In the city’s Falls Road
section, volunteers of the
Central Citizens Defense
Committee (CCDC)
including Father Brian Brady
of St. Joseph’s college of
education here - try to
coordinate relief efforts and
compile testimony to British
brutality and insensitivity.
A gun battle in the early
morning hours of Aug. 12
kept the volunteers diving
under tables whenever British
troops and the outlawed Irish
Republican Army (IRA)
opened fire with automatic
rifles and machine guns.
The battle began about
midnight with unlighted
British army armored trucks
racing up and down the dimly
lighted rubble-strewn street.
A fter three or four
uneventful passes in front of
the CCDC building, youths
from the area began throwing
gasoline bombs at the trucks.
Not one came anywhere near
hitting its target but the
trucks soon stopped and
armed troops rounded up a
dozen youths and pushed
them roughly against a wall.
At this point sniper fire from
a nearby building began and
the troops scurried for cover
inside the trucks, leaving the
youths to their Molotov
cocktails. For several hours
thereafter gun fire was
intermittently exchanged
between the troops and the
unseen snipers. As the gunfire
erupted Father Brady ordered
all lights in the CCDC
building extinguished.
The committee workers,
about 25 men and women,
took cover on the floor and
in back rooms.
This NC News reporter and
two French photographers
were stopped by a group of
soldiers after leaving the
CCDC building toward dawn.
The three were searched,
identification demanded and
ordered; “Don’t comeback if
you know what’s good for
you.”
This, with variations, is
Belfast at night, every night.
“It’s gone on for 400 years
you know and it will just go
on and on. There’s no end in
sight,” said Father Patrick
Meenan of St. Paul’s parish in
Falls Road, another center of
relief for Catholic families
driven from their homes.
“And even when the
shooting stops there’ll always
be the hate that just goes
on,” said Father Meenan.
His sadness was intensified
by nearly 40 hours without
sleep giving him a hallow,
ethereal aspect.
He and other priests and
laymen told of bands of
Protestant vigilantes driving
Catholic families out of their
homes by force.
As Catholics fled to the
traditional places of refuge,
the churches, so did
Protestant families in other
areas of this rigidly
separated-by-religion city.
The Rev. John Stewart of
the Woodvale Methodist
church in the heart of the
Protestant Skankill-Crumlin
Roads area told of seeing
whole families fleeing in
confusion, terrified of IRA
gunmen.
“While my husband was
out giving practical help, I
had to stay at home with our
two sets of twin daughters,
and answer endless phone
calls and give what help I
could to people coming to
the door,” Mrs. Stewart
recounted.
“I saw men and women
running down the road
looking in a great state of
terror running away from
their homes, carrying
whatever they could hold. An
appalling sight. What could
we say to reassure them?”
The suffocating despair
throughout Belfast was
echoed at the Requiem Mass
Aug. 11 for Father Hugh
Mullan, shot and killed by
crossfire Aug. 10, as he
administered the last rites to
a dying man.
At least 25 priests from all
over Northern Ireland
attended the Requiem Mass,
together with hundreds of
Father Mullan’s parishioners.
Priests at the funeral
expressed despair, both over
the condition and the
prospects for Ireland’s six
northern counties.
Father Padriag Murphy, a
powerfully built leader in the
Catholic struggle for justice in
this British province, told NC
News that he saw the troubles
in terms of a struggle for
simple justice for the Catholic
minority.
The priest, who celebrated
the Requiem Mass with
Bishop William Philbin of
Down and Connor, said that
to achieve justice the present
Northern Irish government
would have to be replaced -
first by direct rule from
London and in the long run
by union with the Irish
Republic, in the south.
William Largey, a butcher
and vice chairman of the
CCDC, put it more strongly
as British troops rode
provocatively up and down
the Falls Road.
“It’s not a question of
return to normality,” he
declared. “Normality here has
meant injustice, and we won’t
have it any more. No matter
how long it takes, Stormont
(th e government) must be
swept away, and with it the
arrogant misrule of the
Unionists (the ruling political
party). We don’t want to
oppress anyone, Catholic or
Protestant or anything else,
but we’ll not be humiliated
any longer.”
In a hotel lobby, militant
Protestant leader, the Rev.
Ian Paisley, reminded
newsmen: “I told you so. The
only answer is a firm resolve
to maintain law and order
whatever the cost.”
Paisley’s price - which
includes his own elevation to
Northern Ireland’s
premiership - is one the
British have so far been
unwilling to pay. For in the
views of informed, longtime
observers, it would turn this
unhappy place into a
barbed-wire desert.
