  On 8 December 1988, in his message for the World Day of Peace the Pope stressed the right of all religious minorities to worship according to their own rites. This freedom has been violently opposed by the NTM, with irreversible damage to the tribal peoples with which it has come in contact. Now that the tide has turned against it in Latin America, with expulsions to be expected, it is surely unacceptable that the sect’s principal training-ground outside the US should continue to exist on British soil.
