The accusation of Cortés, who, apparently, with the creation of the new party, to which the Catholic Church has given all its support, has lost any hope of reaching power, has been useless, since all of the democratic opinion of the country has been mobilized in defense of the Archbishop. etco The Archbishop made the following statement in this connection. translation) The publication of Excelsiort makes it necessary to again explain the position of the Church with respect to the new party Vanguardia Popular, since in a matter of principles there must be no compromise or composition, nor should any doubt regarding them be allowed to prevail. If the party Vanguardia Popular were simply a new Communist group, that is to say, if in its body of doctrines there should figure the doctrines and principles which essentially constitute what is called commonly Communist in the sense of the Papal Encyclical, the Archbishop would be wrong in permitting or authorizing Catholics to join it. It is not a matter of scruples, as the Mexican newspaper seems to believe, but of principles. The terms and meaning of my statements are very clear. It is possible that in Mexico, as in Costa Rica, there may be at present an unfortunate confusion of terminology and that there are still many who do not know the real reasons for which the Church condemns Communism and Socialism, that is to say, what are the principles that the Church condemns in them. cannot ignore these reasons nor fail to recognize these principles. An association which professes these principles is an association condemned by the Church.
Beyond this condemnation no Bishop can pass. And if at some time Vanguardia Popular shall profess such principles or if it is demonstrated that it professes them, it would be a group with which Catholics could not collaborate in any field. That is evident. Not professing it, it is not a Communist group, nor does there exist any right to give it such name.
