Archbishop Paul Cremona gets questioned on the ‘interdett’

Archbishop Paul Cremona says the Maltese Catholic Church closes its doors to nobody but refrains on answering questions on 1960s interdiction.

Cremona is asked by sister newspaper Illum on his views of priest Fr Colin Apa’s claims that a historical apology is still in order for the interdiction of Labour party supporters and members of the party’s executive in the 1960s.

The interdiction meant the sidelining of Catholic Labour voters, who were eventually buried in an unconsacrated part of the Addolarata cemetery, nicknamed the ‘mizbla’ (lit. dump).
