Czechs Bar Church Marriages After Jan. 1
Czechoslovakia's government stated church marriages will not be legally recognized after January 1. Only marriages performed before local state committees will be legal, while church services may occur but hold no legal standing. Interior Minister Vaclav Nosek demanded priests swear total allegiance to the state and rejected any amendments to the oath. Catholic bishops earlier urged a qualified oath but were told it would be unacceptable if contrary to church law.
