Defiance Ordered by Czech Bishops to Resist Communists
In Prague on November 24, 195? the Czechoslovakian Roman Catholic bishops urged priests to resist state efforts to control the church and threatened to unfrock any who sympathized with the government. They called for defense of church rights even at risk to life, and warned that disobedient priests would lose their jurisdiction and confessional rights. The bishops framed the move as a response to laws making the church a state body and servants of the government. They acknowledged potential suffering but framed it as a seed of faith and defense of Christ and the faith.
