COMMUNISTCOUPOF1948.

TheCommunistcoupseized controlofCzechoslovakiaon February23,1948,andconditionsbegantoworsensteadily. Inthemidstofthechaoticpoliticalconditions,theArchbishop ofPragueappealedtothepeopletobecalm,andtorespect lawandorder.

TheCommunistregimebegan atonceapressurecampaign againsttheCatholicChurch.It movedfirsttoseizeChurchownedlandswhichprovidedfinancialsupportforreligiousactivities.

January19,1949,theRed governmentsoughttocapitalise onanannouncementthatnegotiationswereinprogressbetweentheregimeandthe Episcopate,lookingtoasettlementofdifficulties.In relianceuponthisclaim, theBishops arranged a meetingamongthemselvesto studywaysandmeansofreachinganagreementwiththeregime.Whentheyassembledin whattheybelievedtobethe privacyofaseminary,theydiscoveredthatmicrophoneshad beenconcealedintheirconferenceroom.Themeetingdisbandedatonce,andtheBishops, apparently,neveragainfeltthat theycouldarrange'forafree discussionamongthemselves.

Church. Afewweredeceived.Oneofthem,theRev. JesefPloharenteredtheCommunistgovernmentasMinister ofHealth.

InApril,1949,Archbishop Beranprotestedto.President KlementGottwald,headofthe Communistregime,that"there isadditionalandirrefutable proofthatthegovernmenthad startedananti-Churchcampaign."Hesaidheknewthat "orderswithdetailedinstructions"hadbeenissuedbythe government.

InMay,1949,Archbishop Berantoldhisclergyinaletter thatallchurchschoolshadbeen nationalised,allCatholicpapers putoutofexistence.pilgrimages forbidden,proteststothegovernmentignored.Hedeclared theChurchwasdeprivedofits meansofsupport,andanyattemptatnegotiationwiththe regimewasinvain.

IMPRISONED,HOUSESEIZED ANDPLUNDERED.

TheRedgovernmentatonce steppedupitsanti-Church campaign.Spurious"Catholic Action"societieswereformed tomisleadthefaithful.Church collectionswereforbiddenin ordertoimpoverishtheChurch. Theregimeinsistedontheright toapproveclericalappointments,anditdemandedthatall childrenbeeducatedinthedoctrinesofMarx,Leninand Stalin.

Directpolicemeasureswere thentakenagainsttheArchbishopofPrague.Policeinvaded andsearchedhishouseearlyin June,1949.HisChancellor, theRev.RudolphDoerner,and hissecretary,FatherKucera, werearrested.Twoothersecretaries,Msgr.JanBoukaland theRev.VaclavPacha,werearrestedatothertimes.Armed guardswereplacedabouthis episcopalresidence,andCorn-

muniststookpositionsinsidethe house.

OnJune19,1949,Archbishop Beranwasmadeaprisonerin hisownhouse.

InaletterdatedAugust5, 1949',whichhemanagedtohave madepublic,ArchbishopBeran confirmedthathewasimprisonedinhisresidence.HeprotestedthattheChurchhadbeen "deprivedofitslegalindependenceininternalmatters."He declaredthatDr.Miroslav Houska,plenipotentiaryofthe MinistryofEducation,Science andArts,hadtakenoverhis house,wasusinghisarchiepiscopalsealandstationery,and "carriesoutcompletelyeverythingthatisconnectedwiththe officeoftaeChanceryofthe Archdiocese."Headdedthat Dr.Houskahadconfiscatedthe fundsofthechanceryandofthe archdiocese.

InDecember,1950,competent authoritiescorroboratedreports thatArchbishopBeranhadbeen removedfromhisresidence, presumablytoaprisonorconcentrationcamp.

BARREDFROMANSWERING STOCKREDCHARGES:

Allalong,ArchbishopBeran hasbeensubjectedtoavicious attackbygovernmentofficials andagents,inthepressand overtheradio.Hehasbeen accusedof"workingforalong timetospreaddisruptionand incitement":with"plotting againsttheRepublic,'andwith being"anti-democratic"anda "tool"oftheVaticanandof "imperialist"agents.Henever hadthesameopportunityto answerthesechargesthatthe Communistshadtomakethem, andsincehisarrestinJune, 1949,hehashadnoopportunitytoanswerthematall.

Therehavebeenfiveprevious group"trials"ofchurchmenin Red-ruledCzechoslovakiainless thanayear.Morethan30 priests,.monsignoriandBishops havereceivedprisonsentences astheresultofthese"trials."

FreemasonryIsCondemnedBecause ItMeansSupremeReligiousIndifference

WhathastheCatholicChurch againstFreemasonry?

A.:ThemerestglanceatFreemasonryshouldbesufficientto showthemostcasualobserver whyitisirreconcilablewiththe CatholicChurch.Freemasonry claimstobeauniversalreligion,voidofdogma,ignoringsuper- naturalrevelation,faithgrace andtheSacraments.Itsonlyandsufficientrevelationisthe GreatArchitectasheisknown naturallyinnature.Fortherest revealedreligiousteachingsare ofnoimportance.Itthusstands forsupremeindifference,inreligiousbelief-andistherefore theveryantithesisofCatholic belief,andsupernaturalreligion.

DuringtwocenturiestheMasonicLodgeshavebeenthe centreofmostvirulentattacks ontheCatholicChurchinmany partsoftheworld.ThespokesmenofMasonryhavemadeno secretoftheiraim.Senator Delpech,thePresidentofthe GrandOrientinFrance,said inaspeechdeliveredonSept. 20th,1902:"Thetriumphofthe Galilean(Christ)haslasted manycenturies,butnowHedies
