Catholic Church Ban Hits
Hard at Italian Communists
By FRANK BHUTTO
Rome, Dec. 30 W Giovanni Picolomo, Italian Catholic com
munist, is a troubled man today. He is troubled by the threat of
excommunication removal form his church.
His party leaders, among them Palmiro Togliatti, tell him not
to be afraid. But Giovanni often is afraid. Luigi Longo, tough
communist and reputed leader of'
the party's underground organi
zation, tells him "excommuni
cation is of concern only to those
who believe in such things."
But Giovanni (pseudonym for
the typical Italian worker), un
like the nucleus of his party's
hierarchy, nearly always does
believe.
How much the Catholic
church's six-months old excom
munication decree against milit
ant communists has contributed
to the party's losses in Italy
cannot be definitely measured.
But Impartial observers agree
that it weighs constantly and
with increasing pressure upon
the masses of Italy's commu
nists. The pressure is heaviest when
there is a baby to be baptized,
a marriage to be performed, a
member of the family to be
buried.
Just a year ago, when Giovan
ni's hope that communism would
get him a better economic deal
was stronger than today, he tried
to distinguish between his party
and his church.
"The party," he said, "never
told me not to go to church. The
church never told me not to go
to party meetings."
But, since then on July 14
by decreeing excommunication,
the church, in effect, told him
just that At the same time it
left all possible doors open for
the return of Giovanni, whom, a
Vatican source said, the church
prefers to consider "an errant
individual rather than a mem
ber of a mass social movement."
Many Giovannis have turned
In their party cards and turned
back to the church.
Early this year, before the
decree, a spokesman for Ran-
dolfo Pacciardi, republican de
fense minister, claimed that Ital
ian communists had lost 700,
000 members.
Togliatti retorted sharply. He
aaid paid up memberships last
February totaled 1,896,634, com
pared with 2,200,000 in the third
quarter of the preceding year.
Togliatti said that "in all prob
ability" this figure would be
reached in the first half of 1949.
But, with 1949 nearly ended,
the party has made no pronoun
cement on membership. Just
past mid-year, July 26, Pietro
Secchia, chief organizer, told
the communist central com
mittee the party had lost 90,
000 members in six months, but
did not give the total member
chip. Good sources believe it has
decreased more since then, and
that it will decrease further
during the 1950 holy year.
