tually released in an amnesty. The Archbishop declared his support for the social programme of the revolutionary government when it came to power. But by June of last year he saw "very clear similarities with communist thinking" in the government's agrarian reform law. In his latest pastoral letter the Archbishop said: "It is not without grounds that some of the better informed are alarmed, or are even willing to fight against those who are trying to impose the heavy yoke of the new slavery. "For a genuine Christian could not live without freedom." Archbishop Perez Serantes explained that he had written his pastoral to remind Catholics "of the line of conduct they must follow in these times of confusion and
worry." He said he is acting "for love of religion and country." He asserted: "Materialism and communism cast God from everything; but we Catholics, at least, cannot live without God or His holy law, without which everything else lacks solid foundation." The Archbishop spelled out the advantages of Christian social justice over materialistic and totalitarian communism. He warned that if men reject God to find bread "it may come to pass that they are left without bread as well as without God." Archbishop Perez Serantes said the threats of materialism make propaganda of the Catholic Faith even more necessary. He urged all parents to teach catechism to their children with the help of priests and Religious.
Santiago, Cuba: The archbishop who saved government.
.
Archbishop Enrique Perez Serantes of Santiago declared in a pastoral letter: "We cannot say that the enemy is already at the doors, because it is already within, speaking loudly as though settled in its own domain." This is the first time a member of the Cuban Hierarchy has pointed to communism within Premier Castro's regime, although other bishops have warned in recent months threat of communisgrk

Archibshop Perez Serantes acknowledged the government's solicitude in attempting to solve the problems of the impoverished. But he warned that social injustice cannot be righted or happiness gained by denying God. In decrying communism within the Castro revolutionary regime, the Archbishop displayed the same courage that enabled him to save the life of the regime's leader in 1953. At that time Fidel Castro was the hunted leader of a revolutionary coup that had fizzled. Troops of the Cuban dictator Fulgencia Batista were in pursuit, and Mr. Castro himself said he feared he would be shot on capture, without
trial. Archbishop Perez Serantes, then 69 years of age, went unarmed into the mountains to persuade Mr. Castro to surrender. The Archbishop had obtained a promise from the army commandant that Mr. Castro would have a civilian trial. Castro was gaoled and even -

Pope to Proclaim A New Saint Vatican City,-His Holiness Pope John XXIII will go to his cathedral, the Arch basilica of St. John Lateran, to officiate at a canonisation on Ascension Thursday, May 26.
Claremont. The brief ceremony of blessing the new building was followed by the celebration of High Mass by Rev. H. Galea, S.S.P., Superior in Australia of the Society of St. Paul. This Society has the spiritual care of the Mt. Claremont district, Father Galea, who had flown from Melbourne to be present at the opening, was assisted by Rev. F. X. Schembri, S.S.P., Parish Priest of Swan bourne, and by Rev. A. Morahan. The Mass was sung by a choir from St. Mel's Church, Swanbourne, conducted by Rev. R. Cini, S.S.P. A feature of the day was the very large number of those present who received Holy Communion. The hall, situated on West Coast -highway, has been erected as a memorial to the fallen servicmen of both World Wars, and the first Mass in the new building was offered for the repose of their souls. Typical of the area, the new hall is of contemporary styling. The low pitched roof is lined with a cement -wood wool mixture to act as an insulation as well as to assist acoustically. The roof is carried on thin steel trusses, especially designed for this hall to eliminate
unsightly interior steelwork. Pure -white quartz exposed aggregate panels on the south side contrast vividly with coral panels beneath the three windows. An almost complete wall of glass faces to the north sheltered by wide eaves to keep out summer sun, but allowing winter warmth into the hall. Included in this wall are four doors which open on to a patio, hidden from street frontages by the hall on one side and the kitchen and sacristy at each end. The interior of .he hell is
finished in faced brickwork, with contrasting laminated pegboard panels. Because the building has been planned specifically as a hall, the simple but dignified altar is designed to fold away when not in use. A modern kitchen, together with ladies' and

will pronounce Blessed Gregory Barbarigo a saint and will celebrate Solemn Mass in his honour. A member of a noble Venetian family who lived from 1625 to 1697, Blessed Gregory was made bishop of Pope John's native diocese of Bergamo by Pope Alexander VII in 1657. Pope Alexander named him a cardinal three years later, and in 1664 transferred him to the bishopric of Padua. Known as a second St. Charles Borromeo, he was beatified in 1761. Details of the canonisation ceremony were officially announced in an "intimatio," an official summons issued by the prefect of papal ceremonies to all the cardinals, patriarchs, archbishops, bishops and other high Church and lay dignitaries in the vicinity of Rome.

Africans Warned Of "Horrible Acts" Northern Rhodesia: The Bishop of Ndola warned the Catholics of his diocese that they will be excommunicated if they throw stones at people or otherwise try to intimidate them. Bishop Francis C. Mazzieri, O.F.M. Cony., in issuing the warning, instructed his priests to post printed copies of it on church doors and to explain it to their congregations. In an explanatory letter to the press, the Bishop said that the Church cannot remain silent in the face of the criminal acts and vio]ence that have been taking place in this part of East Africa. He said that indiscriminate stonings, the burning of cars, stores and houses, and destruction of private property in general are being committed too often in the diocese, thus endangering the lives of innocent citizens, "I sincerely hope that no Catholic is involved in
crimes of this nature," the Italian -born missionary bishop said. "However, to deter our people from such horrible actions I warn all Catholics of this diocese
that whoever co-operates either directly or indirectly in any of the crimes men tioned above shall be ex eluded from the sacra -

Hydrogen Bomb Never Justified Dublin: A moral theologian has declared that no circumstances con justify the use of the hydrogen bomb.
Father John McCarthy, former Professor of Moral Theology at the Irish National Seminary at Maynooth and at University College, Dublin, said. "Our conclusion is that the hydrogen bomb is a grossly unlawful instrument of war and that no military necessity or advantage, no set of conceivable circumstances, however grave, can justify its use. "Our fundamental reason for this conclusion is that the use of the hydrogen bomb-in populated areas, that is-inevitably involves the direct slaughter of innocent non-combatants." Father McCarthy's opinion was expressed in a new book, "Problems in Theology," published by Browne and Nolan. He said that even if the H-bomb's effect on noncombatants is not taken into consideration, its use is immoral because "it involves deliberate destruction which is out of all proportion to, or does not compensate for, any possible good which might be achieved." Father McCarthy asserted that the use of the H-bomb means "the raining of death and destruction over a wide area small part of which may house a military objective-irrespective of the innocence or guilt of those who may inhabit that area."
