Jan a ma Pope Keeps Silent On Castro's Excommunication By ROME John is reluctant to say so bat the Roman Catholic Church's most severe punishment of communication has been imposed on Fidel Castro the chief of state of overwhelmingly Catholic Cuba The punishment was automatic after the Cuban dictator launched his drive against me Catholic Church winch he saw as one of the Important obstacles in the way of his type program Vatican canonists who are to be quoted directly point out that Premier has violated a series of provisions of the Roman Catholic Code of Canon Law any one of which would have been sufficient to bar from membership in the Catholic Church Excommunication bars a Catholic from the rites of the church and even from burial in a Catholic cemetery The excommunicated person cannot receive the sacraments of the church including holy communion and matrimony There are various degrees of excommunication Determination of the degree which Castro has incurred is reserved in a special way to the Vatican and to the few bishops throughout the world who have special authorization to act in such marten An ordinary Catholic bishop could not give Castro a pardon The average Catholic priest would be even less qualified to absolve him even if he were penitent To have the excommunication lifted Castro will have to apply to the Papal Court at the Vatican or to one of the few authorized bishops Although Castro was penalized automatically months ago with excommunication no announcement to that effect Iras been made Only one person has au to issue such a proclamation in Castro's case the pope himself Article in the Catholic Code of Canon Law specifies that the pontiff alone may pronounce the excommunication of a chief of state There is no official word at the Vatican about why the Pope John has chosen not to publish the news of Castro's punishment Informed thinking is that the pope may still harbor hope against hoys that Castro may repent Omission of a public excoriation of the dictator might make a reconciliation easier Castro has appointed a new ambassador to the Vatican in an apparent move to ease his Communist regime's strained relations with the Catholic Church The naming of the envoy Luis Amado Blanco y Femandez became known Monday with the publication of the 1962 directory of the diplomatic corps accredited to the Vatican The previous Cuban envoy to the Vatican Dr Jose Ruiz Velasco presented his credentials in March 1960 and was recalled by Castro less than nine months later Since Castro began his antichurch campaign in August 1960 more than 600 priests 2.400 nuns Argentine exchange and some 950 other church figures have been forced to leave Cuba Manuel Cardinal Arteaga ailing head of the Catholic Church hierarchy in Cuba has taken asylum in the Embassy in Havana His pastoral letter denouncing Communist infiltration in Cuba originally aroused Castro's ire against the church The most Rev Evelio Diaz archbishop coadjutor of Havana has been jailed and then released since 1960 and now is confined to his Havana home by Cuban government order Castro declared openly on Dec 3 thai he is a Communist opposed to the Stalin cult of personality Vatican policy in general is ID keep doors open diplomatically as long as possible The recent of greetings between the Pope and Soviet Premier Khrushchev offered an example of the extent to which the Vatican is willing to go in any area in the hope of eventually improved conditions Although Pope John does not care to say so it is true nonetheless that Castro is now outside the Catholic pale Among several canon law sections imposing excommunication on him is No 2334 which strikes any Catholic who passes laws or issues decrees the freedom of the Catholic Church mod
