BUENOR AIRIES, May 8. Attackers hurled fire-bombs at the home of a Roman Catholic bishop at nearby Avellaneda and scattered leaflets denouncing “Christian - Jewish- Marxist integration," according to the Associated Press.
Authorities said no-one was injured, and damage was minor. The bombing, on Saturday night, was considered to be another incident in the stead-ily-widening rift between traditionalists and reform factions in the Roman Catholic Church in Argentina. The target was the residence of Bishop Jeronimo Podesta, Bishop of Avelanda. The bombing was the second incident in a week be-
tween feuding Roman Catholic groups. During a special May Day Mass at the metropolitan cathedral, members of the right-wing organisation, Tacuara, clashed with youths of the "Christian Revolutionary Movement” Antonio Cardinal Caggiano, primate of Argentina, was pushed around when he tried to leave the cathedral after conducting the Mass.
