VaticanCity,April13.-TheHolySeehasruleditsinfulforCatholicstovoteforanycandidate,communistornot,whois knowntosupporttheRedsortheiractivities.Theruling,thestrongestanti-communistactiontakenbytheHolySeein10years,came intheformofaresolutionpassedbythecardinalsoftheSacredCongregationoftheHolyOfficeandapprovedbyHisHoliness PopeJohnXXIII.AspublishedhereinL'OsservatoreRomano,theresolutionusedtheterm"notlawful"todescribesupportgiven toany"representativeofthepeople"whobackstheReds.Useofthistermmakestheresolutionclearlylegislativeandthusthe term"sinful."

TheresolutionreferredtotheHolyOffice decreeof949excommunicatingCommunistsor thosewhosupportCommunism.Itgoesfurther thanthatdecree,however,sinceitmakesitsinfulfor Catholicstosupportanycandidatesforpublicoffice who,thoughnotmembersoftheCommunistparty themselves,andthoughtheymayclaimtobeChristians,areknownto"unitewiththeCommunistsand favourthembytheiractions."

"ThisresolutionoftheMostEminentFatherswas submittedtotheSupremePontiffattheaudience grantedtotheEminentCardinalPro-Secretaryof theHolyOfficeonApril2.HisHolinessapprovedit andordereditspublication."

LessthansixmonthsagotingesofEuropeanrule, hehadfoundhimselfin Asia,attheconferenceof theHierarchiesoftheFar Easterncountries,convened underthepresidencyof HisEminenceCardinal Agagianian,saidHisExcellency.TheAustralian Hierarchywasrepresented atthatConferencebyan observer-aclearindicationthatwhilethiscountry, intermsofculture,isEuropeanratherthanOriental, neverthelessitsgeographicalsituationinvolveditdefinitelyineveryeventwhichchangedthefaceof Asia.

Duringtheformalsessions ofthatConference,and evenmoreininformaldiscussionswithvariousmembersoftheAsianHierarchies,HisExcellencysaid bewasabletofamiliarise himselfwithmanyofthe problemsoftheChurchin Asiaandmanyofitsconsequentopportunitiesand perilsoftheChurch-and byconsequencealsothose oftheChurchinAustralia.

Foritdidnotmatter whatcountryinAsiathey

TheirownArchbishop wasrightwhen,ontheoccasionofhis95thbirthday, hesaidthathewasliving inthemidstofthegreatest warofhislonglifetimethatbetweenthefollowers ofGodandthosewho soughttoerasethefaceof Godfromtheearth.

TheBishopsofAsia,in theconcludingstatementof theirmeeting,inwhich theywarnedofthedanger ofatheisticcommunism,did whatyourownBishopshad alreadydoneintheirJoint PastoralLetterofApril29, 1955.InthatLetter,the AustralianBishopsclearly saidthatthethreatofCommunism`wasthegreatest issuefacingtheChurchin Australia;thatitwas"the basicnationalissue";that theperilhad"atwo-foldaspect,disruptionfromwithinandaggressionfrom without";thattherewere "highlyplacedpublicmen, includingsomeCatholics," who"seemtohaveclosed theireyestothegreatissuesinvolvedintherecent upheaval,"who"donotappeartorealisethattheyare forwardingtheinterestsof communism."Itwasinthis LetteralsothattheAustralianBishopsdeclaredthat "thisgreatworkoffighting andstemmingcommunist aggressionwhereverit showsitselfhasourfull supportandapproval."

Understandably,thisdid notappealtoIndianswho wereproudoftheirnationalityanditsancientculture.

ItseemedtodeNobili, aftercarefulconsideration, thattherewasagreatdeal intheoldIndianculture thatwascompatiblewith Christianityandthatunnecessarysacrificesofwhat theyhelddearshouldnot bedemandedofconverts.

Astreamofconvertsdid notcomeimmediately,but withinafewyearsanumberofBrahminsandother casteHindusadoptedCatholicism.DeNobiliallowed themtokeeptheirnationalityandthoseoftheircustomswhichwerenotinextricablyboundwithpaganism.
