ORTHODOX CLERGY SUFFER TOO

Tito mobs attack three Bishops
A CATHOLIC Bishop and two Bishops of the Orthodox Church rs.have been attacked by mobs in Yugoslavia in a fresh wave of anti clerical violence bailed by the Tito Press as "anti Fascist
demonstrations."
The Catholic Bishop, Mgr. Celik, of Banja Luka, was pelted with eggs and tomatoes by a hostile crowd when he visited the town of Prijedor during a tour of his diocese.
'1 he Communist newspaper Polltika says the attack was "a people's demonstration against a Fascist collaborator." It says there were also demonstrations against the Bishop at other towns. The Times correspondent in Belgrade reported on Monday that hostile demonstrations had forced Mgr. Celik to leave his diocese. The Orthodox Bishops attacked were Dr. Vasilije Kostic, also of Banja Luke, and Dr. Nektarije Krulj, 75-year-old Metropolitan, of Sarajevo.
Politika said Dr. Kostic had "recently intensified his anti national activity."
The attack on him occurred in Banja Luka, and was similar to that on the Catholic Bishop. A mob forced him to leave the town and pelted him with tomatoes and eggs on his way to the station.
Clubs and fists
Clubs and fists were used by the mob in the attack on the other Orthodox Bishop, Dr. Krulj. It occurred when he visited a monastery in the Bosnian mountains for a religious festival, He was dragged from the monastery, beaten for half an hour and left lying in the courtyard. He had serious bruises and was unable to walk.
Catholic. Orthodox and Muslim religious leaders in Yugoslavia were criticised by Ugljesa Danilovic, vicechairman of the Executive Council of the Yugoslav National Assembly, in an interview with the Belgrade newspaper Borba on Tuesday.
Criticism has hitherto been mainly directed against the Catholic Church.
He said that Bishops headed "reactionary activity of the Catholic C lergy in Bosnia Herzegovina." Sonic "reactionary" Catholic, Orthodox and Muslim priests,•he said, had tried in their sermons to attack the social order in Yugoslavia. They constantly attacked, he said. the associations of Catholic and Orthodox priests (the State sponsored national church movement).
