Mr.. Zorin formally demanded that

Cuba's neighbor, the Common

ing its own political problems
last week in the wake Of q RO-
man Catholic hierarchy warning
that Catholics who vote for the
Popular Democratic Party would
be committing sin.
Although the Commonwealth of
Puerto Rico is associated" with
the United States and lives under

Roman Catholic hierarchy reports
directly to Rome, not to the lier-
archy Of the United States.
Thus the cardinals and bishops

Puerto Rico, even though, as
seemed clear last week, they would
like to. The influential Jesuit mag
