ASKS MEXICO GIVE
RELIGIOUS RIGHTS
Bishop Pleads for Freedom Of
Divine Worship

Mexico City. Nov. 80 N-Bishop
Miguel Do La Mora Of San Louis
Potosi. today made . plea through
the columns OF the newspaper Ell
Universal for the government to
withdraw religious restrictions. The
bishop, who has been in hiding since
the religious dispute broke out. ex-
planned that he did not represent
any other priests. but was speaking
entirely on his own responsibility.
Bishop De La Mora said that to
separate the people from the clergy
was practically to separate them
from their religion and to convert
them into atheists.
PHILOSOPHERS can understand the
abstract" he wrote, but the people
cannot. Christ did not teach them
abstract but only concrete realities
which are represented by the
church"
He explained that the clergy and
tho Catholics in general believed
that they cannot comply with GER
tain laws without transgressing the
sacred rights Of the church. he said
this was the reason the clergy had
left the churches two years ago.
Legal Position
The bishop maintained that the
clergy was in a perfectly legal posi-
ton since there was no law obllgmg
them to officiate in churches. He
said the laws that were objected to
have nothing in common with the
postulates OF the revolution. did not
contribute to the prosperity OF the
country, nor to liberty OF thought,
and did not impede the aggrandize-
ment Of the nation.
There was no reason. therefore. he
said, to try to separate the people
from the practice of their religion
or from the clergy, he said.
Leave their religion to the people,
it uplifts, consoles. and moralizes
them. Heed their clamor II you wish
to work for their welfare. Destroy
the source of hatred and rancor and
settle once for all the religious ques-
ton. Let us all be brothers in the
great fold Of the motherland-elVe
the people what they ask and they
will be happy"
Answers Charges
The bishop also answered certain
CHARGES against the clergy made by
Attorney General Ezequiel Padilla in
his argument for the prosecution IN
tho trial Of Jose De Leon Toral, as
sassin Of General Alvaro Obregon.
He denied the attorney-generals
charges that the clergy had depart
ed from Christ's teachings. had en-
riched itself with worldly goods or
exploited the Mexican people.
He said Christ gave the clergy the
right to possess property in order
to finance their religious and charity
work. He contended the clergy IN
Mexico had never taken advantage
OF this right and has done enormous
GOOD with comparatively small re-
sources.
