Death-BedRevelationOfCommunist"Judicial"Methods

AbominableCrueltyToPriests SecuredCardinal'sConviction

DUBLIN,Ireland,Oct.25-Adeath-bedrevelationbyaYugoslavpriesthasprovidedfurtherevidenceofCommunists'treacheryandcrueltyintheirpreparationofthe falsechargesonwhichHisEminenceAloysiusCardinalStepinac,ArchbishopofZagreb,wastriedeightyearsago.ThefollowingfactsconcerningtheCardinal'strial,accordingtoTheStandard,DublinCatholicnewspaper,werereportedshortlybeforehis deathseveralweeksagobyFatherDragutin,O.F.M.FatherDragutinwasreleasedlast JanuaryfromLepoglavaprisonwhereCardinalStepinachadservedpartofhis16-year sentence.

TwoofthemainwitnessesfortheReds,thepriest declared,weretorturedin ordertoforcethemtotestifyagainsttheCardinal, thenanArchbishop.They wereFatherIvanShalich, theArchbishop'ssecretary, andFatherModestusMartinchich,O.F.M.,provincial oftheFranciscanCroatprovince.

FatherShalichtestified that"theArchbishop'spalaceinZagrebwasthevery centreoftheUstachis,Crusadersandotherterrorists."

FatherMartinchichwas forcedtostatethat"the centreofallterroristactivities wasthepersonof theArchbishophimself."

"IHaveBetrayed."

FatherMartinchichwas subjectedtobrutalphysical torturebeforeheyielded andsignedtheaccusation againsttheArchbishop, FatherDragutinsaid.Asa resultofthistreatmenthe willbeaninvalidforthe restofhislife.

AccordingtoFatherDragutin,FatherShalichwas torturedforeightmonths beforethetrial.Hewas arrestedinDecember,1945.

ByAugust,1946,hegave theimpressionofbeingdementedastheresultoftorture,butstillhadnotsignedanyaccusationagainst theArchbishop.

OnthenightofSeptem- ber 1FatherShalichwas awakenedinhisprisoncell andorderedtodressquickly.Hethoughthewasbeing ledtoexecutionandwas givenabsolutionbyoneof hiscell-mates,aFranciscan priest.

Anhourlater,tothe greatsurpriseofallinmates,hewasbroughtback tothecell.Paleandshivering,heutteredoverand overagain,"IhavebetrayedtheArchbishop.Ihave signedthestatement."Then hecollapsed.Ittookhim 10daystorecoverdespite medicalattention.

LaterFatherShalichtold whathadhappenedonthe nightofhisbetrayal,which hecalledhis"pactwiththe devil."

Hehadbeentaken,he said,intoaroomwherehis motherandsisterweresittingwithchainsontheir hands.Hewastoldthey hadbeensentencedtodeath foranti-Stateactivitiesand hadbeenbroughttosay good-byetohimbefore theirexecution.Indespair,

Aweeklater Father Shalichwaswarnedthatif hechangedhismindand recantedhischargesatthe trial,hismotherandsister wouldbekilled.

IntheLepoglavaprison afterthetrial-FatherShalichwassentencedto12 years-hebehavedasifhe werepossessedbythedevil. Otherprisonersdespised himandrefusedtotalkto him,callinghim"traitor."

AtChristmastime,1946, FatherShalichbecameill andrefusedtoeat.Itwas clearheintendedtostarve himself.

FatherDragutin,however, whohadknownFather Shalichformanyyears, managedtogetintouch

withArchbishopStepinac whowasimprisonedinthe samebuilding.Informedof thematter,theArchbishop expressedhisdeepsym- pathyforFatherShalich andafewdayslatergot permissiontovisithimin theprisonhospital.

Approachingthepriest's bed,theArchbishopsaid:

"Iheardallaboutyour ordeal.Iforgiveyouand Godwillalsoforgiveyou. Andnownotonewordmore aboutthepast.Youcanbe sureIshallneverforget youandshallremainyour friendasbefore."

Similarlywhen,atthe LastSupper,Christtook breadintoHishandsand said"ThisisMyBody", thebreadofamomentago isnowchangedintoChrist's Body.Eventhoughoutwardlyitappearsbread,inwardlybehindtheappearancesthesubstanceisnow Christ'sBody-asthecleverlypainteddummyinthe shopwindowisinreality woodorplastic,thoughto alloutwardappearancesit seemsanappleorabanana.

Nowobservethispoint, foritbearsonyourquestion;whentheseeffective wordsarespokeneitherb., ChristorbyHisrepresentativetowhomHetransmits thepower,thebreadbecomestheBodyofChrist exactlyinthemannerthat

not the

Bodyexistswhenthewords arespoken.

AttheLastSupper,bread becametheBodyofChrist asitthenwas,living,as yetuntouchedbythe woundsofCalvaryand,of course,withHisblood coursinginHisveins.Suppose,however,thatSt. PeterhadsaidMasstwo dayslaterwhenChrist's deadbodywasinthetom. thenthebreadwouldhave becometheBodyofChrist asitthenwas,lifeless, mangledandlargelybloodless.Similarlythewine wouldhavebecomethe BloodofChristwithout HisBody,spilledduringthe PassionandnotyetreunitedtoHissacredbody.

So,too,todaywhen Christ'srepresentative,duly authorizedandevenorderedbyHim,saysduringthe MassinChrist'sname, "ThisisMyBody,"the breadbecomestheBodyof ChristasthatBodyexists todayinHeaven,i.e.a risen,glorifiedBody,still carryingthefivewoundsof Hissufferings.

Nowobservethatthis BodytodaycontainsinseparablyinitHisbloodforitisalivebody,alivingbody,notabloodless bodyaswheninthegrave.

Thus,wheninCommunion youreceivetheBodyof Christundertheoutward formofbread,youalso necessarilyreceiveallthat goeswiththatBodyasit existsinHeaventoday-Christ'sblood,Hissoul andHisGodhead.,

ToassertthatCommunion underonekindisanimpoverishedformistomisunderstandboththemeaningoftheEucharistand themeaningoftheNew Testamentonthispoint.It isamisunderstandingof whattheEucharistreally means;thispointIhave,i trust,sufficientlyindicat ed.Ifnot,pleasecome again.

OnlySmugnessBelievesThatReligion IsCompletelySeparateFromPolitics

ByRev.JamesE.Noonan,O.M.I.

Thereisarathersmugconviction,even amongsomeCatholics,thatreligionhas nothingwhatsoevertodowithpolitics.This misconceptionarisesfromignorance;ignoranceofthetruenatureofreligionand ignoranceofthetruenatureofpolitics.

Theyconceiveofreligion asa"privateaffair"asthey callit;something,which, likeacoat,mustbekeptin acloset,andputononlyon theSabbath-andthenfor anhourortwoatthemost!

ThePapalencyclicalsof thepasthalfcenturypoint outtherealisticroletheindividualChristianshould playinsavouringallphases ofsocietywiththesaltof morality:Labour,industry, education,government,etc.

WillHerberg,Jewish writer,expressedsurprise inaCommonwealarticle lastyearthatCatholics, withsuchatremendous fundofmaterialinthe Papalencyclicalsforblueprintingtheirparticipation incivicandpoliticalaffairs, weresoslowtoavailthemselvesofit.

Ignorance,NotAnger

He,therefore,drewthe erroneousconclusionthat therank-and-fileCatholic laymanresentedtheapplicationoftheencyclicalsas anintrusionofreligionintoareaswhereitdidnot belong.

Thefactofthematteris thattheaverageCatholicis ignorantofthemessageof theencyclicals,notresentfulofitsapplication.

Ignoranceof"politics" alsobringsaboutthis conception.Theword "politics"isderivedfrom theGreekanditmeans,in general,interestin,aswell asmanagementof,"civic affairs."

Inamorespecificsense, Webster'sdictionarydefines itas:"Thetheoryofmanagingaffairsofpublicpolicy orofpoliticalparties;ina badsense,dishonestmanagementtosecurethesuccessofpoliticalcandidates orparties."

Thisisdonebyforming adulteducationgroupsin countryareas-opento Catholicsandnon-Catholics alike,toteachpeoplethe valueofco-operativeliving. Inthelastsevenoreight years,Santamariahaspersonallysupervisedtheformationofsome120ofthese groupsthroughouttheCommonwealth.
