WORLD, Page 38World NotesMALAWIMeddlesome Priests
The pastoral letter read out in Catholic churches last month
was direct. "In our society we are aware of a growing gap between
rich and poor," it said. "Bribery and nepotism are growing." In
Malawi, where President-for-Life Hastings Kamuzu Banda has ruled
with an iron hand for 28 years, tolerating no dissent,
congregations were rocked in their pews.
Banda hit back. The authors -- an Archbishop, five bishops
and a monsignor -- were interrogated and reportedly placed
under house arrest at the Archbishop's residence. Though free
now, the clerics stay with friends at night for greater safety.
Aid-donor countries are likely to ask for an explanation at a
meeting next month.
