A feature by Bob Considine argues communism’s war on religion persists after World War II, focusing on the Catholic Church and priest victims behind the Iron Curtain. It cites Cardinal Stepinac Mindszenty Beran and others, notes mass church closures and confiscations, and credits Father Gussani’s The Silent Church with documenting the era.
