in that theological revival known as liberation theology, which at least en­tertained the idea that there might be a possibility of Christianity coexisting with Marxism, and further accepting that some profound, even violent up­heavals within society were inevitable.

I think I learned that even individu­als who were leaders, as was he, ot those movements have been shown forcibly that there is a real danger in accepting any kind of an alliance with Marxist-Leninists, and the difficulty that the church faces in Central Amer­ica today is precisely because the church has been used by the Marxists as an instrument of revolution. The groups who were recruited in Hon­duras, taken to Nicaragua, sent to Cuba, trained for two years or more and then reintroduced in Honduras were recruited by Catholic priests and catechists in Honduras. The first group was accompanied by a Catholic priest, an American, carrying arms. The Cath­olic bishops of Central America, as I understand their position, now thor­oughly deplore the identification of their own honest attempts to adapt Christianity to the circumstances of modem life with the advocates of polit­ical violence, and are doing what they can to redress this. Now, my message to him, sir, was exactly that this is not a message that General Gorman can carry to the Congress of the United States or to the American people, given all of the sort of strictures against the military in such a tutorial role. And indeed it’s not a message that the Gov­ernment of the United States can carry readily either to the legislature or to the American people. There are laws against our propagandizing our own people. But it certainly is a message that the Central American bishops can carry. And indeed if we had the kind of reporting on the region that I think the situation deserves, there would have been more of you who would be aware of the similarity between the pastoral letter of the Nicaraguan bish­ops of last Easter and the San Jose declaration of the Nicaraguan freedom fighters published just this last month. The bishops called for truce and dia­logue, and the latter document calls upon the Nicaraguan bishops to act as the overseers of the dialogue that would ensue upon the freedom fighters laying down their arms. And it is these bishops, it seems to me, that have got to be the interlocutors for the region with your colleagues in the clergy and your coreligionists among our country­men.

Captain McMahon: Thank you. I’m sorry we have no more time to pursue the many other questions which you have. It has been our pleasure to be here.
