"SOVIETATHEISM

MOSCOW'STIGHTAGAINSTGOD.

WhilstmillionsoftheChristian worldarekeepingtheFeistofEaster, andcelebratingthegreatesteventin humanhistory,theResurrectionof OurLordfromtheDead,amerehandfulofabnormalpeopleinRussiahave declaredwaruponChristandHis Church.The"LondonTiineespecial serviceisauthorityforthestatement thatthewidowofthisSovietleader Lenin,inthe"Isvestia,"theofficial Sovietorgan,,saysthat"Eastertide mustbemadeanoccasionforagreat anti-Godcampaign.Greaterefforts mustbemadetofightthereligious bodieswhicharegainingmore.ground amongthemasses."OnEastereve theMoscowauthoritieshavearranged thatthetheatres,kinemasandSoviet clubswillgive.specialblasphemous showstoattractthemassesfromthe midnightservicesoftheGreekOrthodoxChurch.Lastyeartheauthoritiesboasttheyclosed354churches,38 monasteries,59synagogues,38mosques,and53otherreligiousinstitutions,Stepsarebeing.takento,close 253religioushousesandchurchesthis year.Werememberthedictumof KarlMarx,onwhosephilosophythe Sovietorganismeats,sleepsandworks, isthat"religionistheopiumofthe masses,"andinordertoeliminatethis allegedopiumMoscow-and:.itsanti. SodbrigadearepostUringunderthe eyesofthenationsassomanylunatics.Howfruitlessistheirblasphemouscampaignmaybegatheredfrom theSovietorgan'sadmission:"New placesofworshiparespringinguplike mushrooms."

Thecampaignofthe"anti-God &tampions."of1928began(writesG.M. Godden,inacontemporary)earlyin theyear,withadirectattackupon thesurvivingCatholicclergyinRussia.AnorderoftheSovietGovernmentwasissued,inApril,.requiring allCatholicpriests,underpaincf transportationtotheterriblepenal settlementoftheislandofSolcivetein theArctic,tosignapledgetoabstain fromanyrelationswiththeHoly FatherexceptthroughtheSovietGovernment:torefuseobediencetoCatholicbishops;andtoacceptloyally theSovietanti-religiouslegislation,includingthelawwhichpenalisesthe teachingofreligiontochildrenunder sixteenyearsofage.Theintention ofthisorderwasmanifestly,theexter initiationoftheCatholicpriesthoodin Russia.

Whilethislegislationwasbeingen acted,theofficialGovernmentpress wasbusyexhortingthelocalSoviet authoritiestotakemoreactivemeasuresagainstreligion.Thus"Pravda,"ofApril8,announcedthat:"Local authoritiesmust,withoutlossoftime, throwallthenecessaryforcesonto theAnti-GodFront.Theymustdeclareanti-religiouspropagandatobe compulsoryandthatsuchworkwill beconsideredPartywork. We mustdeclareawartothedeath-awar onallformsofreligion.Thefight againstreligionisthetaskoftheday."

Fivedayslatercameanothertrumpet callin"Pravda":

"Itisessentialtoappoint,inevery undertaking,anumberofthebest party-workersforanti-Godactivities. Itisessentialtocreateaspecial ofscenerytostageanti-Godspectaclesandplays.Itisalsoessential tocreateaspecialfilmorganisationso thatanti-Godfilmsshallbesuccessfully shown.ItistimetoleavetheantiGodworkinclubsandcircles,andto carryittothemasses,makingofit masspropaganda.Youngpeople, teachers,agriculturalengineers,the medicalstaff,mustbedraggedintothe ranksoftheanti-religiousorganisations thejoiningintheanti-God frontmustbemadecompulsoryon all."

InthissamemonthofAprilthe "Anti-EasterDepartment"oftheSovietMinistryofEducationorganised "specialeveningsofhumourand satire,"tolastfrom9p.m.till2a.m., duringtheEasterFestival;andalso performanceswithportablecinemas. Theseeveningsandnightentertainmentswereintendedtomake"astrong appealtothemasses,"andtodraw thepeopleawayfromtheEasterser

ff

mentfortheRussianpeoplebythe SovietMinistryofEducation,maybe inferredfromthebestialparodiesof theGospel,andthefoulversespublishedbytheSovietpoetlaureate,DamianBodmy,inwhichChristianityis reviledwithmalignantobscenity;and alsofromthewordsofthepresent MinisterofEducationintheSoviet Government,M.Lounatcharsky.This SovietMinisterhassaid:"Withallmy heartIwisheverysuccesstothewarfareagainsttherevoltingspectreof God,whothroughoutthewholeofhistoryhascausedsuchdiabolicalevil tomankind."Certainlyitbehoves allCatholicstorememberthatthese aretheactsandtheutterancesofa Government'withwhichtheEnglish electoratewillshortlybeurgedtorenewdiplomaticrelations.

AsapreparationforEaster,theSovietGovernmentprosecuteditsactive waruponreligionwith"unprecedented intensity."TheCommunistClubs wereorderedtoarrangeatheisticlectures,stageplays,andpageants,ridiculingandattackingtheLifeofOur Lord;andalltheSovietGovernment wirelessbroadcastingstations,includingthelargestSovietinternationalstationatMoscow,wereinstructedtoarrangeanti-religiousprogrammes.Further,itwasreportedthat,"through platform,press,andwireless,"the Governmenthad,duringtheEaster period,carriedonwhattheofficialorganofthe"Anti-EasterDepartment" describedas"decisiveoperations againstourclass-enemywhoassails uswithCrossandBible."Instructionswereissuedtoconcentrateefforts on"capturingchildhenwhoseparents arereligious";andMoscowdemanded thatreportsshouldbesentinfromall partsofSovietRussia,enumerating whateverforceswerefoundtobeworkingagainst"us,Lenin'santi-Godchampions.'

NosoonerweretheseEasteractivitiesoftheSovietGovernmentconcludedthanafreshcalltosystematic action,onthe"anti-GodFront,"was issuedatMoscow.Thetextofthis documentdeservesquotationinfull:

"Aparticularlyimportanttaskis thatofcombating'religion,whichis opiumforthepeoples.Thestruggle againstreligionmustbeconductedsystematically,andpersistently.While carryingonanti-religiouspropaganda byallthemeansatitsdisposal theSovietGovernmentmust,atthe sametimereorganise.allitseducational workon.thebasisofscientificmaterialistphilosophSr."

Inaccordancewiththeseinstructions specialseminarieswerebeingorganised inJulyforthetrainingofanti-religiouslecturersandinstructors;instructionswereissuedto,theSovietTrade Unionsfortheintroductionofanti-religiouspropagandaintotheworkmen's clubsandlibraries;andorderswere issuedthatanti-religious"exhibitions" shouldbeheldinallprovincialtowns These'exhibitions"didnotalways workoutaccordingtoplan.The relicsofthemuch-lovedRussianSaint, St.TheodosiusofTchernigoff,wereexhibitedwithaplacarddeclaringthe intactconditiontobetheresultof naturalcauses.Thepeopleflocked toveneratetherelics,payingnoattentionwhatevertotheofficialplacard. This"regrettableincident."asthe'Sovietpressphrasedit,wasdue,accordingtoofficialcomment,toanerrorin judgmentbywhichtheauthoritieshad omittedtoplaceanagitatorbeside therelics,todemonstratetothe crowdsofthefaithfulthe"falsenessof theirbeliefs."

Theserenewedactivitiesonthe "Anti-GodFront"alsoincludedofficialprotestsagainstlaxlocalauthoritieswhohadbeenallowingcommunitiesofnunstoworkmodelfarmsin theZhdanovsky.Sukhanovsky,Klintsaysky,andDmitrovskydistricts.The SovietofficialsinMoscowwerescandalisedtofindthatthelocalCouncils weretoleratingthesecommunities whichwereexertinga"mostharmful religiousinfluence"onthepeasants, andinwhichthenunswere"praying morethaneverbefore:theypraybeforesowing,prayafterharvest,pray vices.Thenatureofthe"humourandallthetime."Itwillberemembered satire"providedasanEasteramuse-thattheSovietPublicProsecutor,

InJune,furtherlegislationwasput intomotiontocombatreligiousinfluences.Thisnewlawenforcesregistrationonpriests,andon"otherofficialsofreligiousbodies";andalsoempowerstheregistryofficersto"remove anynameatwill."Thisisapparently adevicetorenderitimpossibleforthe Russianclergytoescapebeingpenalised.Itisforbiddentopractiseany formofreligiousserviceorritesatfactories,works,"orotherestablishments,"unlessattherequest-ofthe dying,ortheseverelyinjured,inhospitalsorprisons.Theuseofany kindoflibraryorreading-roomonreligiouspremisesisforbidden.Itis alsoforbiddenforreligiousbodiesto arrangegatherings,circles,andgroups ofanykind,whetherofchildrenorof adults,forchoralsinging,forneedlework,forliterarystudies,orforany formofactivity.Thislatestexample ofSovietlegislationislargelydueto thecomplaintsreceivedbytheLeagueofCommunistYouth,ofwhich,it maybenoted,thereisanactivesectioninEngland,andbythe"Anti-God Society."

DuringthesummertheSovietGovernmentorgan"Isvestia"announced theorganisationofanewoffensive againstreligion,tobewagedinall working-classdistricts.InSeptembertherearrivedinMoscowaspecial deputationofthe"godless"fromthe Donets'coalfields,bringingthefollowingappealtotheSovietGovernment.

Shakespeare"DyedaCatholic"

Oneofthemostinterestingdocumentsthatwepossessinreferenceto Shakespeareisabriefsketchofhislife writteninthelateseventeenthcentury,thelastwordsofwhicha,re"He dyedaPapist."Theywerewritten byanearnestandsincereministerof theAnglicanChurch,theRev.Richard Davies,archdeaconofSaperton,who hadsharedwithBishopBurnettinthe writingofthehistoryoftheReformationandwasoneofthemostardent controversialistsforhischurchinEngland.Theexpressionmusttherefore betakenquiteseriouslyandhasvery definitehistoricalsignificance.

Unfortunatelyforanysuchdeclaration asthis,ArchdeaconDavies'expression formspartofaseriesofdocumentsregisteredasagifttoCorpusChristiCollege,Oxford,asearlyas1690.Thisis ahundredyearsawayfrom"lateeighteenthcentury."ArchdeaconDavies mightwellhaveknownandprobably didknowiieoplethoroughlyfamiliar withtheeventsofShakespeare'slifein Stratfordafterhisretirement

Itisrathersurprising,seeingtheimportanceandauthenticityofthedeclaration,thatthedocumentsinquestionhavenotbeensubmittedtocarefulexaminationbytheEnglishwriters ofShakespeare'slifeinourgeneration. Atlast,however,theyhavebeencollatedverycarefully,though,curiously enough,itwasanAmericanwhodid itMadameClareLongworthde Chambrun,whoisoneoftheLongworthsofCincinnati,presentstheresultsofherstudyoftheminhervolume,"ShakespeareActor-Poet."This volumeappearedalsoinFrenchand wasawardedtheBordinPrizebythe FrenchAcademy.ShehasalsowrittenabookonShakespeare'ssonnets, aswellasavolumeonFlorio,the translatorofMontaigneintoEnglish,a workwhichitisnowknowninfluencedShakespearedeeply.Thisbookhas alsobeencrownedbytheFrench.Aca-

WhensheappliedatCorpusChristi Collegelibraryforpermissiontolook attheoriginaldocumentswhichcontainArchdeaconDaviesfamoussentence,shemetwithanunexpectedobstacle.Womenarenotallowedto readbooksintheCorpusChristilibrary.Itiseasytounderstandthat anobstaclelikethiswouldnotprove unsurmountableforanenterprising American.Therewasawayofgettingroundthisheritagefromthedays whenOxfordCollegeshadamonastic character.TheBodleianLibraryat Oxfordborrowedthedocumentsfrom CorpusChristiandaswomenmayread intheBodleian,MadamedeChambrunwaspermittednotonlytostudy themanuscriptsbutalsotosecure photographsofthepagesconcerning Shakespeare.Shefoundthatthese documentshadneverbeenconsulted sincethedayswhenDr.Alexander Dycefirstmentionedtheminhisfirst editionof1854.

Themanuscriptsweregatheredby WilliamFulman,anardentstudent andcollectorofliterarymaterial,who spentmorethanhalfacenturyinthe filingandannotationofvaluabledocumentsandcorrespondenceconcerning hiscontemporariesaswellasthedistinguishedmenwhohadlivedinthe earlierpartoftheseventeenthcentury.Amongthesethereisashort biographicalnoticeofShakespeareat theendofwhichoccursthewords,"He dyedaPapist."Thesearenotin Fulman'shandwritingbutinthatof hisfriend,ArchdeaconDavies.When Fulmandied,leavingbehindhiman immensecollectionofnotesanddocuments,heaskedhisfriendDavies,who hadsharedhisstudieswithhimfor someyears,to"digestandclassify"the papers.He'evencommissionedhim tomakesuchadditionsasseemednecessarytocompletecertainunfinished memoirsandthentoturnthewhole collectionovertoCorpusChristi.It isknownthattheArchdeaconcompletedhisworkbefore1690,forAnthonyaWood,thewell-knownOxford historian,mentionsthatthepapers wereinCorpusChristilibraryatthat time,thoughhewasnotallowedto seethem,apparentlybecausesomeone inauthorityatCorpusChristiwasa littlejealousoftheworkthatWood wasdoing.Theyseemedtohavere-

maineduntoucheduntilDycecalled attentiontothefamoussentenceand thenwerenotconsultedagainuntil theycameintoMadamedeChainbrun'shands.

Aftertheconsultationofthem,she becamequiteconvincedthattheexpression"HedyedaPapist"mustbe takeninitsliteralsignificance.The wordscomefromamanwhohadthe opportunitytoknowmanypeoplewho hadbeenaliveinShakespeart'stime. Itisaltogetherunlikelythatbewould havewrittenthewordsintotheFulmanpapersunlesshefeltthatFulmanwouldagreewithhimandthey hadprobablytalkedthematterover. SofarfrombeingaRomaniserorin anywayfavourabletowardCatholicism,hewas,asMadame.deChambrun says,"azealousministeroftheAnglicanChurchandlikeFulman,aninveteratefoetopapacy."Sheaddsthat, "hewasoneofthebestcontroversial writersandspeakersintheChurchof Englandinthosedays."Itiseasyto understand,then,thatMadamede Chambrunisreadytoinsistthatwhen ArchdeaconDavies"setsdownthe statementthatShakespearedieda Papist,wemaybecertainitwasbecausehebelievedtheinformationtrue, notbecausehewishedtobelieveitW.sS so."

Shesumsuptheimpressionproducedonherwithregardtothepassage inthesestrikingwordswhichsurely mustbetakentorepresentthe',meinsionthatanyonewillbeforced.oacceptwholooksintothematterwithoutprejudice:"LikeDavies-remainingintheEpiscopalChurchinwhichI wasbaptised-Iagreewithhimin thinkingthatitisbettertotakenote ofthedocumentsstillinourpossessionratherthantotwistorsuppress historicaltruthtofitinwiththepersonaltenetsofmodernwriters."

MadamedeChambrunquotes.some interestingcommentsthatillustrate thistwistingorsuppressionofhistoricaltruthinthesubjectunderdiscussion.TheRev.AlexanderDyce,for instance,afterhavingconsultedthe FulmandocumentsandnotedArchdeaconDavies'expression,brushesit asideandreassureshimselfandhis readers"Thisiscontradictedbythe tenorofShakespeare'swritingsand thehistoryofhislife."Hesuggests that"Shakespearemayhaveincidentallyletfallexpressionsunfavourable toPuritanismwhichweremisrepresentedaspapistical"?AnotherdistinguishedEnglishShakespearescholar isquotedinabitofverysimilartwistingandsuppressionoftheobviousliteralmeaningasfollows:"Halliwell-

MadamedeChambrunisoftheopinionthatShakespearelivedanddied aCatholic.Shethinksthatthatf..ct throwslightonhismarriage.Thisis usuallypresumedtohavebeenirregularsincethefirstofficialnoticeofthe marriageprecededbybutthree monthsthebirthoftheirfirstchild.
