PontiJf Says

India Must
Stave Off
Red Threat

ERNAKULAM, India-(NC)
His Holiness Pope Plus XII
called upon India's five mill
ion Catholics to join with all in
their country who are ION the
side of God" against powers of
evil seeking to enslave ''the
soul of Asia"
The Pope's message was
transmitted over the Vatican
Radio to an estimated 500.0 Cath
oiics from all parts of the country
gathered here for a three-day Eu-
charistic Congress that climaxed
celebrations marking the 18th cen.
tenary of the arrival in India of
st. Thomas the Apostle, and the
fourth centenary of the death of
St. Francis Xavier, Apostle of the
Orient.
These recent years" Pope Plus
said, have seen India enter upon
new era of her history In laying
the foundations of the nascent
state she must count on the Co
operation of all the sound and
competent elements among her
people, and she has right to that
cooperation.
The powers of eyII are contend.
ing in bitter conflict for the soul of
Asia, and you know what hangs
on the outcome of that conflict.
You realize, too, the important,
dominant and incorporating role
to be played in this conflict and in
the upbviIdins of the state by re-
lision, by the true Faith"
The Holy Father urged Indian
Catholics of all rites. Latin and
Eastern, and Of all social condi-
tions, to "close ranks and stand
together in the work of opening
the way for the grace of the true
Faith and the knowledge and love
of Jesus Christ"
AT the same time. he addressed
clear appeal to "our separated
brethren" to turn to the Church of
Rome so that all may be one" in
the Faith.
To-day" he said, "when the
powers of evil fight in serried
ranks and the need for concord
among those who are on the side of
God is more imperious. We make
bold to call upon even the separat-
ed brethren: Let the division
cease; to you the house is open
which the Lord in unmistakable
works Matt. Is, 1920 built on the
rock of Peter and his successors"
The Pontiff said the Catholics of
India should so live that your con-
duct will be a strong argument,
drawing all men to the true Faith
in Jesus Christ"

Letter. entitled "Orientales Ec.
clessas" eastern Churches), which
he addressed to the Hierarchy of
the Eastern-Rite Churches.
The Holy Father places the
scenes of these prosecutions as Bull
garia, Rumania and particularly
the Ukraine. He condemned the
Bulgarian Reds for the death SEN
tences handed Bishop Eugene Bos-
silkoff of Nikopol and three Bull
garian priests. He termed this ac-
ton "a terrible catastrophe" which
has caused profound mourning in
the Church."
The Pope suggested the Chair of
Unity Octave, Jan. l6 TO rs, as q
proper time for increased prayer
and penanee everywhere for the
prosecuted. He said:
"BY our prayers and works of
Penanee we can beseeeh the most
mereiful God TO send comforting
TO these our suffering brothers and
sons -.
"All priests who are able to offer
the Eucharistic Sacrifice every day
should make a remembrance of
those Bishops and priests who, far
from their churches and their
faithful, have not the possibility Of
ascending the altar to offer the
Divine Sacrifice and nourish them
selves and their faithful with that
Divine Food from which souls OBJ
tain that sweetness surprising all
desire and receive that strength
which leads to victory.
''In many regions where the Ori-
entail Rite particularly flourishes,
there has been unleashed new
tempest which seeks to overthrow,
devastate and destroy in misery
the flourishing Christian commun-
tiles. If in past centuries some par
ticular dogma of Catholic doctrine
was impugned, today on the con-
trary, they rashly 60 even farther.
They seek to Danish from pub

and from the life of whole popula-
tions the sacred rights, institutions
and laws, indeed all that is divine

as if dealing with matters of myth
ology and evil omen"
Perseverance Lauded
The Pope recalled his consecra-
tion of all these peoples to the
immaculate Heart of Mary. He not

verance in resisting the enemies

ing 10 revere, beseeeh and love the
Blessed Virgin ITO whose ImmacU-
late Heart they have all been con-
seerated by U.s."
The Holy Father said he is
aware that both the Catholics of
the Oriental Churches and their
brethren of the Latin Rite ''are to-
gether bearing with fortitude the
sorrowful burdens of these perse-
cutions and in like manner are to-
gether sharing in the martyrdom,
triumph and glory which are re-
sulting therefrom."
Speaking of the Bulgarian trav-
eSty of justice and other acts of
persecution there the Pope said:
