Poland'sPrimatehoshurleddefianceathis country'scommunistrulersanddeniedtheir chieftain'sclaimthattheChurchthereisnot beingpersecuted,accordingtoreports.

StefanCardinalWyszynski alsocontradictedastatementbyWladyslawGomulkathatthereisChurchstateconflictinPolandonly becauseChurchleadersfollowtheHolySee'shostile policytowardthePolish government.

TheCardinaldeclared thatthestateisfighting toseparatePolishCatholics fromtheirhistoricFaithand warnedPoland'sRedlead ersthattheywilllosethe battle.

"ItellyouCaesarsthat youwillbowtoyourGod andyouwillserveHimand nooneelse.Satanis mighty,butmanwillnot bowhisheadbeforehim."

ForthethirdtimeinrecentmonthstheCardinal citedgovernmentsupport forastepped-upatheist campaignasevidenceofpersecution.

InasermonintheChurc'rr oftheVisitationinWarsaw, thecardinalpointedout thattherearenowsome20 organisationspromoting"a programmeofatheisation, secularisation,indifference andrationalism."These groups,headded,are"dedicatedtofreeingouryouth fromGod."

"Andyetitiscasually saidthatthereisnostruggleagainstreligion,"thePrimatecontinued."Andwhat isthis?What,canonecall it?"

"Andatthesametime thebeliefisbeingpopularisedthatasystematic struggleagainstthestateis beingwagedinPolandundertheinfluenceofthe Vatican,"hewenton. (VaticanRadioalsodenouncedMr.Gomulka March19forwaging"a graveattackontheChurch inPoland"bytryingtoseparatePolishCatholicsfrom theHolySee.)

Inapastoralsuppressed bythegovernmenthedenouncedthe"atheismthat frommonthtomonthincreasesitsactivityand fightsagainsttheChurch withtrulyinhumanfanaticism."

TheCardinal'searliersermoncameinreplytoclaims madebyMr.Gomulka,first secretaryofthePolish UnitedWorkers'(communist)party,atameeting openingthecampaignfor theApril16parliamenta0 elections. Mr.Gomulka assertedthattheHolySec istryingtoprovokethepersecutionandmartrydomat

HeattackedChurchleadersinPolandforfollowing theHolySeewhich,hesaid, isfightingcommunism"by meansof,andatthecost of,theCatholicHierarchy inPoland."Hecontinued:

"Themainsourceofthe variousdifferences(between Churchandstate)emanates fromthefactthattheleadersoftheChurch,ascitizensofthePolishstate,remainphysicallyinour country,buttheirsoulsbelongtotheVatican."

"TheVaticanforitspoliticalaims,"hewenton,"has greatneedofpersecution andmartyrdomoftheCatholicChurch,especiallyin Polandwherethesepersecutionsdonotexist."

AdviceUnnecessary

TheCardinalrepliedto theGomulkaaccusations:

"BythewillofGod,for 13yearsIhavebeenconductingtheaffairsofthe Churchinourfatherland.

"DuringthattimeIhad severalconversationswith PopePiusXIIandhavehad threeconversationswith (HisHoliness)PopeJohn XXIII.

"Ihavehadnumerous conversationswiththeSecretaryofStateoftheHoly See,withnumerousprefectsofvariouscongregations,andnotonceinall theseinstitutions-perhaps youwillbelieveme,my children,hselsewherethey donotbelievemuchofwhat Isay-hasanattempt beenmadetogivemeany instructionswhatsoeveron howPolishBishopsshould conductChurchaffairsin Poland."

"AttheLastJudgment, wheneachofuswillread thelifeofhisbrothersas anopenbook,youwillsee foryourselveswhether whatIsayistrue,"the Cardinalcontinued."Today, ifImayhumblyaskyou foralittleconfidenceIask forit."

"TheChurchhasconfidenceinourfaithandin ourconscienceanddoesnot needeitherinstructionsor inspirations,"theCardinal declared.

WarningPoland'scommuniststhattheywilllose thei:battleagainstthe Church,CardinalWyszynski stated:

"Itellyou,youwill serveonlyyourGod,becausemanistoonobleto serveanyonebutGod,"he continued.

"Manwascreatednotjust tobeananimal;manis calledtosomethinghigher."

CATHOLIC,Sydney:In Schuster's"BibleHistory andStoryoftheChurch," p.365,AlbertEinsteinis quotedassaying:"Beinga loveroffreedom,whenthe revolutioncameinGermany IlookedtotheUniversities todefendit,knowingthat theyhadalwaysboastedof theirdevotiontothecause oftruth;theUniversities wereimmediatelysilenced. ThenIlookedtothegreat editors OnlytheCatholicChurchprotestedagainst theHitlerianonslatighton liberty."S.-flustergivesno referenceforthisquotation. Couldyousupplyit?

R.:Thequotationiscorrectexceptforonevital pointwhichrobsitofall valueforCatholics.Einstein saidsimplythe"Church," notthe"CatholicChurch."
