All Catholics Involved
In Beran Banishment
Are Excommunicated
BY the Assoeioted Press

VATICAN CITY. Mar. 1.-THE
Vatican today communicated
all Roman Catholics who partici-
pated in banishing Czech Arch
bishop Josef Beran from his
Prague archdiocese or in other
crimes" against the church in
Czechoslovakia.
The declaration said those who
took the place of the archbishop
and other displaced church lead
ers, or co-operated morally or
physically" in acts against the
church have incurred the major
communication which the Pope
alone can order. They cannot be
absolved except by him.
Accommodation, the Vatican's
major disciplinary weapon, thus
has been applied against Com
munists and Communism five
times in the last five years and
the second time in Czechoslo-
vakia.
SLcpiudC Vase hCCdHcu.
An communicated Catholic is
not permitted to partake of the
sacraments and comforts of the
church. and is ostracized from
the society of faithful Catholics.
In 1916 an communication
decree was directed at those who
participated in the trial of Arch
bishop Alojzijc Stepinac of Yugo-I
slavia.
Two years ago similar action
was taken against those who had
a part in the arrest, trial and
sentencing of Josef Cardinal
Mindszenty of Hungary.
A subsequent communication
was decreed against the founders
and willing members of a sep
aratist. Government controlled
Catholic Action society in Czech
oslovakia.
Communists Excommunicated.
On July 13, 1949, the Pope Or
dered a major accommodation
against all militant and willing
Communists who are Catholics,
regardless of where they live in
the world.
Today's declaration, signed by
Adeodato Giovanni Cardinal Pi-I
azza, secretary of the Consistorial
Congregation, one of the II gov
erning departments of the Roman
Catholic Church, was published in
L'Osservatore Romano, the Vati-
can newspaper.
Just week ago the Prague
government announced that Arch
bishop Beran, Primate of Czecho-
slovakia, had been banished from
his archdiocese and fined $1,000
for his negative attitude" toward
the Communist-ruled state.
Successor Named.
A government announcement
said the metropolitan chapter had
elected a suburban parish priest,
the Rev. Antonin Stehlik, vicar
capitular to replace the arch
bishop as interim head OF the
archdiocese.
On Monday another announce
ment said Father Stehlik, another
high church administrator and
four bishops had taken oaths of
loyalty to the Communist govern
ment. The four bishops admin
lister one-third of Czechoslovakia's S
IL dioceses. The Prague archdio-
cese itself contains about a third
OF Czechoslovakia's II million
Catholics.
The Vatican declaration cited
al this record and more.
