THE WEEK IN RELIGION
Swiss Move for Repeal
Of Anti Catholic Lows

Iment. However. the law does
not grant complete religious
freedom to non-Lutheran
groups.
Interest centered On the Swiss
development Ia view Of the
larger number Of Catholics In
VOWED. There are only about
5000 Catholics In Norway and
|20. 900 In Sweden. But a per
cent Of the Swiss population are
Catholics.
Many Swiss Protestants are
believed to favor abolition Of the
anti Catholic articles. And q
spokesman for the Federal
Council (cabinetl indicated to
Parliament that the government
approves the proposed change.
DIR. Markus Feldmann, vice
president Of the Federal Coun-
|cil, assured the Council Of States
that the federal body would act
on the repeal motion cas- quick
ly as possible" Before this can
be done, however, the National
Council, 1876 member lower
chamber. also must accept the
motion Then the Federal
Council win submit to Pariia-.
|ment its own motion to abolish
the anti i-Catholic articles.
The cabinet proposal is ex-
pected to be made shortly after
the general election this fall. II
both houses Of Parliament ap-
prove it. the repeal measure
would then be submitted to the
voters in national referendum.
Illegal Action Charged
Moves to obtain equal rights
for Catholics were touched of
early last year as the result of
a debate in the Zurich cantonal
assembly over alleged illegal ac-
tivities by Jesuit priests.
The assembly voted, 95-35, to
shelve a report of the Council
of States which charged that
several Jesuits preach in zu-
rich" and thus violated article
81 Of the constitution.
The councils report said the
government should keep a close
watch on the activities Of Jesuits
in Zurich and take action when
ever necessary.
In April, 1854, it was reported
that the Rev. Johan Cosutt, al
Swiss-born Jesuit, was forced by
Zurich cantonal police to sign a
confession that he acted CON
trary to law" in celebrating
mass at the village of Horgen.
That incident spurred Swiss
Catholics to renew their de-
for repeal Of federal laws
against Jesuit and other Cath
olic activities.

Early in 1853 the Norwegian

Jesuits from operating In the

orders as well but this cause was
