BACKGROUNDTOCUBANEXPULSION

(ByJamieFonseca)

TheAmericannationsmeetingatPuntadel Este,Uruguay,aremembersofahouse divided.

Unlesstheyovercometheirdifferencesregarding PremierFidelCastro'sCuba,thewholeOrganisation ofAmericanStatescanbeseriouslyweakened.In contrast,communismmightgrowstrongerinthe Americas.

Thereisnoquestionnowastothetruenatureofthe Havanaregime.FidelCastrohasdefiantlystated:"I amaMarxist-Leninistandwillalwaysbeonetillthe endofmydays."

Thequestionishowthevariousgovernmentsare dealingwiththisthornyproblem.

Theconflictingviewsareduenotse_muchtothe leftistorrightistinclinationsofthegovernmentsconcerned,butmainlytothedifferingpoliticalpressures -whichresultfromtheir,peoples'variedsocialand economicconditions,theirdegreeofdiscontentandthe impactonthemofRedpropaganda.

Castroagentshavesucceededincreatingtwoexplosiveimagesamongmanyoftheunderprivilegedand intellectualsofLatinAmerica.OneisthattheCuban revolutionistherevolutionofthedowntrodden.The otheristhat"Yankeeimperialism"andlocal"oligarchies"aretheirworstenemies.

PresidentAlbertoLlerasCarmargo,ofColombia,for manyyearsgeneralsecretaryoftheOrganisationof AmericanStates,recentlysaidthattheO.A.S."must meetthechallengeposedSoitbytheseriousdeteriorationofinter-Americanrelations."

"Untilnow,"headded,"therewasavacuum,because theonly,powerwehave-thepowerjuridicallyvested intheO.A.S.-wasparalysed.Longagowe,the Americanpeoples,renouncedrecoursetounilateral punitiveaction."

ThustheForeignMinisters'Conferencetakesupthe obligationthatbindstheirgovernmentstodefendthe hemisphericinterestswhicharenowthreatened,to preservepeaceandtosecurethefreedomofpresent andfuturegenerationsintheAmericas.

Itcanbefairlysafely assumedthatmanypeople makeahabitofcarryinga copyoftheImitationof Christintheirpocketsor briefcaseseverydayoftheir lives.Adailyreadingofthe Imitationhas,forcenturies past,beenthespiritualfare onwhichmillionshavefed andnourishedtheirsouls.

Intheformer,Father Vannstartsbyposingtwo mainquestions:WhatisGod like?Howcanwefindout?

Anattempttofindthe necessaryanswersquickly bringsfinitemanfaceto facewithmysteryandthe bestwaytogettothevery heartofthemystery,accordingtoFatherVann,is tostudycloselyandintimatelytheeventsofChrist's lifeandearth,tofollowstep bystepthecourseofGod's Son.Andthebestwayto followthiscourse,suggests FatherVann,istomakefull useoftheChurch'syearly calendar,identifyingourselveswiththespiritofeach season. Asimpleenoughplanand nothingveryrevolutionary inthesuggestion,surely. Countlesswritersonthe spirituallifehaveadhered tothesamepattern.
