LONDON,Sept.10.-Nowhereelse behindtheIronCurtainhastheCatholic Churchbeenmoreruthlesslypersecuted thaninAlbania,whereCatholicismdates backtoApostolictimes.Nevertheless,the Churchthereremainsverymuchalive, thankstothedevotionofthesmallCatholic minority.
Legallyspeaking,the CatholicChurchinAlbania hasceasedtoexist.Only oneBishopremainsalive there,andheisnotpermittedtofunction.Religious Ordershavebeensuppressed,andtheirpropertyconfiscated.Therearenolonger anyCatholicschoolsor newspapers.CatholicAction hasbeenoutlawed,andlarge numberofpriests,nunsand Brothershavebeenkilled, imprisonedorbanished fromthecountry.
Everyweaponofterror andintimidationhasbeen usedbytheCommuniststo wipeoutCatholicismin Albania.Thatthisefforthas notsucceededisduetothe tenacityandcourageofthe faithfulofthisstrategically locatedmountainouscountry atthesouth-easternshoreof theAdriaticSea.
TheAlbanianCatholicstheynumberhardlymore than150,000ofthenation's onemillionpopulation-belongtotheGhegtribeand arefoundinthemostinaccessiblepartsofthenorthernmountains.
TheGhegChristiansofthe NortharemainlyCatholics, whiletheChristiansofthe SouthbelongtotheAlbanian OrthodoxChurchwhichfive yearsagoacceptedthejurisdictionoftheMoscowPatriarchateoftheRussian OrthodoxChurch.

Accordingtoreports,the comparativelyfewactive priestsmustcarryontheir ministryinsecret.ButwherevertheycansayMassor leadthepeopleinprayer,
theyhavefoundsuchaspiritofdevotionasclearlyto indicatethatifCatholicism itselfistobeuprootedin Albania,alltheGhegswill havetobekilledoff.Not allGhegsareCatholics, thoughallCatholicsare Ghegs.Butthenon-Catholic Ghegsgiveloyalsupportto theirIe1lowtribesmen.

Itwasbecausehecould notexterminatetheGhegs thatPremierHoxhaattemptedafewyearsagoto setupaschismatic"AlbanianCatholicChurch."This strategy,however,failedto wintheGhegsfromtheir loyaltytotheHolySee.

Anotherreasonmanydo notjointheparishgroup fortherosaryisthat,though theywouldliketodoso, theyhavenevermadea beginning.Generallythey donotthinkofit,ordonot thinkofitattherighttime. Inotherwords,theylack thebenefitofhabit.They haven'tthehabitbecause theyhaveneverstarted; andtheyneverstartbecause theydonothavethehabit tostartthemoff.Thereis asortofviciouscircle,it istrue,inthisbehaviour,or lackofbehaviour.AsI haveremarked,Iamnot passingjudgment;Iam simplytryingtosetforth thesituationfairlyandobjectively.
