Czechoslovak Catholics Appealing for Rights
1988
Overview
''The people are impatient, waiting so long for their rights,'' the 88-year-old Czechoslovak prelate, Frantisek Cardinal Tomasek, said in an interview. ''I have appealed to the Government again and again but my repeals go without response.'' ''It is remarkable that in this country, where loyalty to the faith is so heavily burdened with sacrifice, we can observe a certain religious revival, particularly among young people,'' Cardinal Tomasek said. But he cautioned against excessive emphasis on numbers, noting a severe shortage of priests. In some parts, ''for 20 or 30 years bishops have been lacking, and young people do not even know what a bishop looks like.'' ''It is not a massed tendency, and it is not connected with politics, but some of our young people are attracted to religion, above all to be accepted in a community, not to be alone,'' the priest said. ''The idea of our Government is to divide people, our society is so atomized. That way, the Government can exercise closer control.''
