...October 23 and 30 the three Roman Catholic Bishops of Puerto Rico ordered pastoral letters to be read in the island's churches, emphasizing their long-standing opposition to the governor and declaring it a sin to vote for his Popular Democratic Party. The Church has been unable to wring three legislative measures from Munoz: prohibition of birth control and voluntary sterilization, and permission for one hour out of the 15-hour school week for religious instruction...
