CZECH PRELATE CALLS FOR UNITY OF CATHOLICS
LONDON. Sept. 4. The Roman Catholic Archbishop oC Prague, Dr. Josef Beran, in his first message to Prague churches since June, called on all the faithful to be firm in their belief, says the British United Press correspondent in Prague. He appealed to the whole nation to stand up for Christianity and Christian co-operation. In his message which was smuggled from his palace where he is under surveillance Dr. Beran predicted the victory of the church over communism.
He said: “We are small and powerless in the midst of raving Satanism, but by our very lack of power we can contribute more to pacify the offended majesty of God and to avert all ills from our nation.”
