Reds Anti Church
Campaign Called
Worst Since 1880

WASHINGTON, DC NC) -
The current breakdown on religion
in Russia has been termed the most
intense and best organized cam
paign since 1880 by Rep. Hale
Boggs of Louisiana.
Instead of the outright peFsecu-
ton and crudities of the past, the
communists have been told to dis
guise their insults with scientific
and education theories, the New
Orleans Democrat said.
In the Congressional Record,
Boggs said the key to the new
campaign was propaganda. "over-
jealous propagsndists. however,
deviated from the new party line, :"
he said.
He cited several quotations
from the media behind the Iron
Curtain. Radio Moscow. for ex-
ample, went so far as 10 refer TO
Catholics IS "verninoVs Great
lures and scum" he declared.
For the first time in many
years, the Kremlin is extending its
attack on Christianity to include
the Protestant Churches. and espec-
tally the Baptists,' he declared.
The legislator said that he had
been told that of the 10000 Catho-
lie priests in the Soviet satellite
countries before the early perse-
cutionS began, only about half re-
main with most of them prevented
from performing their duties by
Imprisonment or by separation
from their congregations.
Citing the vicious" propaganda
now being used in Russia, Boggs
said Radio Odessa denounced
Christmas by saying in one broad
cast.
The church invented Christmas
and imposed it upon the believers
to prove the existence of the in
vented Son of God. Jesus Christ.
There is nothing sacred and divine
in Christmas and in other church
festivals"

THE most hopeful sign in the
whole field is the importance which

revealed that committees are now
working TO draft statutes that will

There are the reports about the
severe restrictions on the freedom
of the Church imposed by the COM
munist regime. On the other hand,
there is the news that the govern
ment is reconstructing churches
damaged during the war, building
new churches and allowing the cir
culation of a large number of re-
ligious periodicals.
The Poles themselves are not
confused by these two apparent
Iy contradictory policies. the re-
fugees declared. They know that
the true attitude Of the COM
munisss towards the Church
their. basic sfrstesy--is one of
Interchangeable hostility. They
know that they are following a
ruthless plan for the destruction
of Polish Catholicism.
The other Red policy in regard
TO the Church-the rebuilding of
churches and the financial aid ex-
tended to such institutions as the
recently opened Academy of The
ology in Warsaw-is merely tac-
tical maneuver, a smoke screen to
hide their real intentions.
When the Reds took over Pol
and, the refugees noted, it was at
first believed that the commun-
lists wanted TO set up a national
church." which they could later
destroy. Now it appears that they
are aiming at a great religious
schism involving all Catholics be-
hind the Iron Curtain and as many
of the Catholics in the free world
as possible. In the present situa-
tion, the refugees argued, the COM
munists need religion, but only as

In order to further their aim,
the Reds must create the impress
sion that they support religion.
That is the reason for their cur
rent tactics of giving the Church
some material assistance.
But their goal also requires the
communists to persecute tn e

that they must attack and destroy
those aspects of the Church in Pol.

The Reds, therefore, have been

treatment Of the nations hieF-

already been either imprisoned

ner in which they obtained their
positions. This accounts for such
subterfuges as the wearing of
episcopal garb by so-called ''patri-
otic priests" who have assumed
the tital of Ordinary" and who
issue pastoral letters. These "patri-
otic priests" spare no efforts to
confuse the Polish people as to
the true state of affairs in their
country.
But the people have not been
misled. The Catholics of Poland
are aware of what is really going
on and have remained faithful to
the Church.
The government is also trying
to make use of the progressive

ganda. These "progressives" are
mostly opportunists or people who
have been frightened, although
there are some who enormously
but sincerely believe that they are
serving the best interests of the
Church.

frequently point to the numerous
religious periodicals published in

however, they do not use this ar
