Theconversation,to whichVaticanRadiotook suchstrongexception,took placeonJuly25andwas reportedinZagreb'sVjesnik onAugust4.

"Thosewhodonotknow thepositionoftheChurch inYugoslaviamaywell conceivetheideathatCommunismismerelyindifferenttowardreligionrather thanthatitperseCutesit," theVaticanbroadcastsaid.
