RESPETO A LAS TRADICIONES.
Sentiniento popular.

Con profunda pena he leido Ia circular que
COP fecha II del actual dirige ell Iltmo. Sr.
Obispo los sef1ores Curas de esta Diocesis, en-
Ia que deSpueS de tratar reSpecto al orden
compostura que debe guardarse en- Ell temple,
prohibe Sacramento la celebration de la misa
de NoChe- -buena, con Ell fin de evitar eScanda1oS
en- dicho acto.
Toda disposition superior merece acata-
niento. Pero semejante prohibicion\ no solo
es atentatoria a nuestro modo de ser cultura,
sino que ademas da motives para que Sc nos
tenga por I'm pueblo incivilizado que no sabe-
mos conducrnos con el respeto y educacion que
el Santo Temrlo merece.
Ell que en- tai cual parroquia Sc den es-
candalos en- la Iglesia, la hora de misa la
Noche-buena no es motive para que la prohi-
bicon Sc haga extensive a todas las de la Isla.
Ademas, cuando Sc prevee que en- cual-
quier aCto religioso ha de ser inteTumpido el
orden, por aquelas personas que nada nj
nadie respetan por carecer de principles edit
cacion, Sc solicita el auxilio de la policiA para
sostenerlo, 10 que de SECURE no negara antes
al contrarlo, acudira con guSto al llamamiento
que el Sacerdote encargado de la parroquia lie
haga.
PorIo que respecta este pueblo. siempre
Sc ha conducido en- ell sagrado temple con ell
respeto que tan santo lugar merece, y nunca Sc
ha dado el case de que durante la celebrac cion de
mas pequefIo escandalo. nj incidente alguno
desagradable por el cual haya podido alterarse
el orden.
Bastaba con que ell sehor Obispo manifes-
tara los sefiores curas la no celebration de
dicha misa siempre que el!os no tuvieran Sc
gurldad del orden y ell que asi 10 creyera, va
Sc abstendrfa de celebrarla. Pero prohibirla
en- general, y Se1r1umlnff, da una idea POGO fa-
vorable del concepto que de los puertorrique-
1los tiene tornado el se1ior Obispo, consideran-
donos POGO respetuosos en- el lugar santo.
70 creo que no sea justo que por los menos
paguemos los mas. privdndosenos asf de nuestras
costumbres y tradiciones, 10 que redunda ac-
tuamente en- perjuicio de nuestra Religion
bastante decaida por desgracia en- los tiempos
que corremos.
Els ia Noche.Buena una de las mas grandes
y hermosas de uuestras tradicioges religosas. =
En- ella Sc conmemora ell nacmiento de
aquel que vino redimirnos, derramando para
clio sd su Sangre divina.
A conservar esa tradicion es 4 10 que Sc
debe propender por todos conceptos no que

parecer nuestras costumbres, y tai vez nuestras
