Pope Pius Issues
New Killings
C A S T EL GANDOLFO, </P) — ■
Pope Pius XII, in an apparent1
blow against communist-control
led courts, has declared that Ro
man Catholic judges must never
recognize unjust laws.
He rules that Catholic judges
brear grave responsibility for *he
application of laws contrary to
Christian concepts.
The Pope laid down four funda
mental rules for Catholic judges
and lawyers in an address to
members of an Italian Catholic
lawyers’ congress here yesterday.
The speech was made public to
day.
The rules appeared aimed at
strengthening the will of Catholic
jurists still active in communist
controlled Eastern Europe. They
may apply especially to Czecho
Slovakia, current focus of the
church-state battle, where the
communist regime recently im
posed a new church control law.
The Pope also ruled that “the
Catholic judge cannot pronounce,
unless for motives. of great mo
ment, a decision of civil divorce
< where it does exist> in a marriage
valid before God and the church.”
