THEWarsawregime,ledby communistpartychieftainWladyslawGomulka,revealeditsconfidencelatein 1960inthemaximthatthe powertotaxisthepowerto destroy.Itannouncedthat henceforthreligiousorders wouldbesubjecttoa65per centincometax.Beforethat, Religiousweresubjecttothe regulartaxonindividualsusuallyfrom10to15per cent.

Butthesamedecreeofthe PolishCouncilofMinisters grantedtheschismatic"NationalCatholicChurch" statusasa"publicassociation"andthusreducedits taxes.

DecreeGoesBack

Thedecree,printedinthe officialgovernmentgazette inWarsaw,statedthatthe taxlevyon"privateassociations"-includingthe Church-wasretroactivefor tenyears.

Meanwhile,realestate taxesonallChurchproperty withtheexceptionof churchesarebeingassessed atthesteepcommercialrate, ratherthanthemuchlower residentialrate.

Thus,accordingtoincome receivedin1959,theincome levyonSacredHeartparish inPoznanis£4,860,and thatofChristtheKingin Warsaw£2,600.Theannual taxofthediocesanchancery ofKatowiceis£11,250.

INTHEIrishRepublica numberofwomenarecampaigningagainsttheideaof girlsmarryingat12and boysat14;notthatthe youngpeopledothis,but undertheIrishlawitis legalwithparentalconsent.

IntheRepublic,children miststayatschooluntilthe ageof14.

AnotherIrishwoman,Dr. FRANCESMORAN,is amongthosepressingfor highermarriageages,and whentheInternationalAllianceofWomen,representingmanycountries,voted onthissubjectatarecent congressinDublin,they wereunanimousforahigher age.
