Show Catholic church critical of martial law WARSAW, Poland-The Poland Roman Catholic episcopate, the highest authorities in the Polish church, has issued a forceful call for an end to martial mar-tial law. The communique, issued after a two-day two-day meeting in Warsaw of all the country's coun-try's bishops, was the strongest and most comprehensive statement by the church since the military clampdown. "The situation in which the country and nation find themselves bears all the markings of a true moral, social and economic catastrophe," the bishops declared. |
