Priest Weeps At Last Moscow Mass
In Moscow on March 3 Rev. Georges Bissonnette, the only U. S. clergyman in the Russian capital, conducted what may be his last mass as he prepares to leave the Soviet Union within days. He offered prayers from a room he set up as a chapel, indicating no reason was given for his expulsion, likely tied to Washington’s refusal to extend a visa for a Russian Orthodox churchman visiting the United States. The United States has protested the expulsion amid complex Soviet American clergy provisions dating from 1933.
