SAN JUAN PR.
Following is the text of
a second pastoral letter
of the Puerto Rican Bish-
ops in which they reply
to criticism against a previ-
GUS pastoral.
The pastoral, which was
dated October %, 1860 and
read at churches throughout
Puerto Rico on Sunday. Oct
ober 30, was signed by Arch
bishop James F.. Davis, of San
Juan, Bishop James E. Nc
Manus, C.SS.R.. of Ponce and
Auxiliary Bishop Luis Aponte
Martinez of Ponce.
With the sole purpose of
correcting certain inaccurate
interpretations of our pastor
raj letter of October Is, we
are again speaking to all
those who wish to hear us
with calm judgment and hon
est intention.
Our first pastoral letter was
a letter of principles: princi-
pies not subject to circum-
stances of time and place.
private persons or public or
CARNATIONS; principles which
have been and always will be
the same.
PASTORAL LETTERS con-
stitute the exercise of a right
and the fulfillment of a duty
of the bishops. 1t is a right
given to the governors of the
Church by her divine foun-
der, Jesus. Christ, that they
may fulfill the duty of con-
tinuing the propagation and
preservation of her doctrine.
There is a right of expression
conferred upon each citizen
by real democracy. There is
also a duty imposed upon ev-
eryone by his own conscience.
The real question being dis
cussed is not whether or not
the Bishops have brough.. CO.
ercion upon the free express
sion of the vote. The real
question being discussed is
not whether the state is OBJ
liged or not to prohibit or to
allow certain specific actions.
THE REAL QUESTION -
which the enemies of the
Church are trying systemati-
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1960-11-04

create the crime, but only
points it out.
Whether the bishops say Il
or not, it is a sin to act con-
trary to ones own convic-
lions.
FOR A CATHOLIC to vote
for the Popular party is TO
vote for the anti-C atholic
morality proclaimed by the
Popular party. 1t is a vote for
the destruction of the Ten
Commandment. OF the law of
God. It means action against
his own Catholic convictions.
If the faithful do not take
heed of the advice Of the
bishops, that Is a matter Tor
their consciences. But in not
needing this advice and in act
ing against their own Catho-
lie convictions they are COM
hitting a sin.
With or without sanctions
by the bishops, a violation of
the law of God which pro-
hibits support of an atheistic

ments Of the law of Gods
clearly a disobedience against
God and is evidently a sin.
Furthermore if one dis
obeys his legitimate superior
who in a specific case de-
clares what the law of God is,
it is clear that he directly dis
obeys the legitimate superior
and ultimately he disobeys the
Supreme Lawgiver, God. Evil
IDENTIFY this is also a sin.
In both cases, the offense is
against God. And that would
happen if a Catholic, in the
present circumstances, voted
for the Popular party. The adj
wise of the bishops, stated in
the pastoral letter of October
18 and repeated in this Sec
ond pastoral, aims to prevent
an offense against God. Pre-
venting an offense against
God is proper to the spiritual
mission of the bishops.
THE DEFENSE OF the
Church is the responsibility
of the bishops and not that of
any political party chief, no
matter how powerful he may
be.
In reality, what they want
is not to defend the Church
but rather keep it subject to
the caprice of a political lead.

Rico.
With this purpose, they are
talking of dispossessing the
bishops of their posts, even
of having recourse to the
Pope to obtain his approval
for the unmasked enemies OF
the Church.
A change of bishops would
not solve anything. Principles
would have to be changed,
But they are Interchangeable,
just as Gods truth is un.
changeable upon which they
are based.
In these times, good Catho.
lies must, then, group around
their legitimate pastors. us
