VOLUME XX NUMBER 41 December 15, 1978 Price 25c Cuban Bishops Back Castro-Exiles Talk The Bishops of Cuba have issued a declaration backing the Dialogue between Fidel Castro and Cuban exiles in this country. They also urge the United States to accept Cuban political prisoners and their families "opening as soon as possible, the doors for a rapid and understanding reception." The declaration was made at a Nov. 21 meeting in Havana of the permanent committee of the Cuban Episcopal Conference It was made public Sunday, Dec. 10, after representatives of U.S. based exiles met with Castro for several days last week. The text of the Declaration follows: The Permanent Committee of the Cuban Episcopal Conference held a working session today, November 21st. In it, special attention was given to the initiative of the President of the Council of State and Prime Minister of the Revolutionary Government of Cuba, taken in recent months, concerning the dialogue with the Cuban Community resident outside our country. This subject was considered in the context of human solidarity and pastoral responsability, in con- formity with the purpose and religious mission of the Church, as expressed by its legitimate pastors. We offer to our faithful and to all others, who are also our brothers, the Ex-prisoners and families wave at eager waiting relatives upon arrival Tuesday. evangelical fruit of our reflections. human solidarity and divine sonship; 1) The renewed consciousness of Mother, the Virgin of Charity, in fraternal charity, requires that at- in a particular way among those who asking their help in this task in which tention be centered on certain aspects our common cultural roots and the share our beloved Fatherland, whose love we owe to our common we feel closely united withall Cubans, (of the situation).

It also dealt with several reforms mandated by Vatican Councilllthat were just getting under way: revision of canon law, the relationship of bishops conferences to seminaries and revision of liturgical texts.
