‘Judge’ Rutherford Attacks Government, Priest Charges

Pilot Grove, Mo.— (Special) — That propag;anda itlimical to the United States government is beii^ circulated by ‘ ‘Judge” Joseph F. Rutherford and his so-called Wit­nesses of Jehovah is charged in a series of articles prepared by the Rev. Richard Felix, .O.S.B., direc­tor of the Defenders of the Faith, who have headquarters here.

Although the Italian gov­ernment has given assurance that the statement does not, portend the coming* of anti- Jewish persecution, its Minis­try o f Popular Culture on July 14 served notice on the Hebrews that they are not members o f the “ purely Aryan Italian race.” “ It is essential,” says the document, which was prepared by the deans o f Italian universities, “ to draw a line o f sharp de­marcation between Mediter­ranean Europeans and Orien­tals and Africans.” The pure­ly European physical and psy- cholo^cal characteristics of Italians **must not b^ altered in any way.”

The learned deans must have written this statement with their tongues in their cheeks. They know well that Rome had a large Jewish population even before the days o f Jesus Christ. What happened to these people? The present Jewish popula­tion o f Italy is quite small. The Jews were, for the most part, gradually converted and absor^d . They form only one o f a large number of racial strains that go into the making o f the present-day “ pure Italian race.” There is no such thing as a “ pure” race in Europe. Even so isolated a people as the Irish have all sorts o f racial strains running through theiPt a result o f the invasions, en­forced settlements, and so forth that mark the turbulent history o f their little isle.

Just what Js an Aryan? If you look up the word in any good encyclopedia, you will find that it is as evasive as the silly word Nordic, bandied around so much by pedants o f the last deeade. Aryan, says the Encyclopedia Bril- tanica, is a “ term which has

CfflNESE BANDITS RELEASE THREE CAPTIVE PRIESTS

Peking. — Two missionaries— one in Hupeh and one in Suiyuan — captured by bandits have been set free, it is reported. The for­mer, the Rev. Paul Barbieri, O.F. M., of the Laohokow vicariate, was captured in April and deprived of his personal belongings. The latter, the Rev. B. de Wilde of the Scheut Mission society, was taken by force from his residence at Maita chao May 22. Another mission­ary of the Laohokow vicariate, the Rev. R. Barfucci, O.F.M., was forced to travel for some dis­tance away from his mission by river pirates who subsequently re­leased him because, they said, the missionaries do much for the sick and poor.

Details of the death of two mis­sion priests, the Rev. Sylvester Padberg, O.F.M., of the Vicariate of Tsinanfu and the Rev. Alphonse Gartner, S.V.D., in the Vicariate of Yenchowfu, are confirmed by Lumen service. Father Padberg was killed about the middle of June. Father Gartner disappeared a month earlier and his body was found later. Both were slain by bandits.

and civilization — religion and stable government— is remarkably brought out in the fact that his Jehovah’s Witnesses have disposed of 26,000,000 books and booklets in the past year.

Typical of the viciou?? anti- American, and anti-Christian prop­aganda being distributed are the following statements ’ made in Rutherford publications: “ The United States and Britain . . . form the chief part of the realm called Christenaom, but in fact Satan is their ruler and god.” “ No honest man understanding the conditions in the United States can claim that it is a satisfactory government.” These quotations could be multiplied many times over from the papers and books put out by Rutherford and his co­workers. The Golden Age and its successor. Consolation, are 32-pa^e magazines published bi-weekly in 13 languages. The same message of intolerance and hate is broad­cast over many radio stations each week and carried from door to door on portable phonographs. In this pernicious work are engaged 30,000 field workers.

“ Religion i - the subtle scheme of Satan the Devil, and was brought forward and employed by the Devil to deceive men and to reproach Jehovah God,’*,thus Ruth­erford sums up his malicious con­ception of religion. “Religion shall end forever and that within a short time,” he goes on, and “ The practice of religion has proved that it is a racket of the very worst kind,” he charges.

In the New York Thwtea-William P. Carney, correspondent from Spain, estimated that some agency provided at least $800,000 for traveling expenses for the 4,000 to 4,500 Americans who crossed the Atlantic to fight for the Leftists in Spain. It is not likely, he said, that more than 200 or 300 paid or worked their, own way across. He interviewed 80 Americans cap­tured by Franco’s forces. All but five were sent to Spain by the Communist party in the U. S.

At the convention in Cleveland, 0., of the National Young Judea, largest Jewish children’s organiza­tion in the U. S., the group spurned a proposal to aid Leftist Spain.

A stirring picture of the Church ih Spain is revealed in letters sent by Cardinal Goma y Tomas to members of the American Hier­archy who have sent aid through the America Spanish Relief fund with headquarters in New York.

Father Praises Street-Preaching

Curious Conversion of Entire Family RelatedWhite Plains, N. Y.—The good

that it does can never be measured, writes W. S. Hubbard, discussing street-preaching by Catholics. The promulgation of (iatholic doctrine may have its effect years .later in some cases. He cites his own ex­perience, in which his entire fam­ily became converts through a seemingly unrelated chain of events that dated back to his mother’s attendance at a Catholic school.

His mother, a Mormon, went to a Catholic academy. She became an Episcopalian, but her training of her offspring reflected a Cath­olic viewpoint. Mr. Hubbard first started thinking about the matter when, attending a Confirmation class, he wondered at the anti- Catholic sentiment displayed by the minister.

A later experience was in a Colorado high school, where he met a Catholic girl. The two would argue interminably about religion. He woiltiL never admit that she was right, but says now

T reasure Leper Apostle^s CrossThis crucifix, now in ihe posses­

Its authenticity is vouched for by a letter (reproduced be­low) from Brother Dutton, com­panion of Father Damien's last years, and it was given to the So­ciety of the Divine Word by the widow of Anthony Matre, K.S.G., who received it from Brother Dut­ton in gratitude for his interest in the leper settlement. The opening of the cause for beatification of Father Damian attaches unusual in­terest to this intimate possession of the Apostle of the Lepers of Molo­kai.

that if it had been an older person he would have entered the Church then.

After living in many different parts of the United States, he b^ came convinced of the lack of uni­formity in the services and teach­ings of the Episcopal Church, and drifted for 30 years. Five years ago his wife died in a Catholic hospital. “ As I was leaving the hospital just before the end,” he writes, “ I met Sister Gabriel and made the remark: ‘ I have one re­gret and that is that we are not Catholics.’

“ I had not planned to say any such thing and I was very much surprised to hear the words. Sis­ter Gabriel told me afterward that I had no sooner expressed the desire than a priest >came in and she sent him to my wife before the end. The priest was not due there, did not come for any known reason, and had never been known to come on that day of the week or so early in the day.

“ After having the words put in my mouth, I knew that I was go­ing to become a Catholic . . . I told the three children what I proposed doing and asked them to receive instructions with me and then decide for themselves what they wanted to do. The daughter, 18 and the oldest, informed me that she had received permission from Tier mother a short time be­fore to become a Catholic if she desired. I had known nothing of it . . . The mother and her family were not Catholics and the family was not happy about it when the children and I became Catholics.

“ My mother came from Cali­fornia for our Baptism and Con­firmation. She told me she was not at all surprised, for she had expected it many years ago. Moth­ers are wise.

Nearly all types of children ex­cept the feeble-minded and those with disease in contagious stage are admitted. Children on the borderline of mental deficiency are admitted if their mental condition is believed to be closely related to physical defects. Many children have shown marked improvement in intellectual fields once bodily deficiencies have been removed.

CHARITY SISTERS W ILL SUPERVISE STATE HOSPITAL

Lafayette, La.— Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul will serve in a supervisory capacity at the Lafayette Charity hospital, a state institution under construc­tion. They will be in charge of the nursing, out-patient, social service, domestic, and dietary de­partments. Six sisters are ex­pected to arrive about the middle of August. Ten or 12 will be sta­tioned at the hospital later. There will be a building on the hospital grounds for both sisters and nurses.

Riverhead, N. Y.— With convic­tion and sentence of six defendants and the German-American Settle­ment league, operators of a camp at Yaphank, L. I., for American Nazi sympathizers, on a charge of violating a state law, Roy P. Mon­ahan, New York attorney and com­plaining witness, announced that he would at once begin a move within the American Legion and Disabled American Veterans to have other states pass civil rights laws to combat Nazi activities throughout the country.

In the trial before County Judge L. Barron Hill, sentence of a year in jail and $500 fine was imposed on the six men. The jail sentences were suspended on all except Ernest Muller of Brooklyn, presi­dent of the league, who showed contempt of court. The Settlement league was fined $10,000.

This is a gain of nearly 10,000. There are 38 mission centers located in Japan, Korea, Manchukuq, China, Tonkin, Cochin-China, Western Indo- China, and India being cared for by the society.

In the society are 873 French priests, 1,624 native priests, and 8,910 religious. Religious services were provided in 6,722 churches and chapels, an increase of nearly 400. Schools conducted by the society number 3,201 and have 208,838 pupils. There are also 171 hospitals and 289 dispensaries cared for by the organization.

Japan Takes Blame For Slaying Bishop

And Eight PriestsLondon.— An exchange of docu­

Earlier communications over the death of the missionaries carried the statement by Japanese spokes­men that the nine had been killed by Chinese in Japanese uniform.

Full terms of the settlement were not made public. It is under­stood, however, that the Japanese army will erect a monument to the martyrs near the scene of their death. In it will be an expression of regret inscribed in Chinese characters.

Papers have been submitted for approval to the attorney general proposing *the transfer of the property to Car­dinal O’Connell, Archbishop of Boston, and the continuance of the center under Cathdlic auspices. The center has for 35 years been conducted by Emmanuel Episcopal church, and has done notable work on the south side.

The change in the population of the south end, which is now predominantly Catholic, led the Episcopalian authorities and Mrs. Randolph Frothingham, donor of the center, to decide on the trans­fer.

The Associated Press reported in a July 16 dispatch: “Diplomatic relations between the United States and Vat­ican City appeared today to be a step nearer realization.” Then it went on to relate how the U. S. consulate at Rome is now permitted to authenticate certain documents from Vatican City.

Inquiry made by representatives of the Register Sys­tem of Newspapers at the U. S. State department in Wash­ington, D. C., Monday broughtword that the steps taken are “ not to be understood as restoring American diplomatic relations with the Vatican,” which were severed after 1870 when Italy conquered the Papal States and Congress failed to pass the appropriation for maintaining the U. S. diplo­matic service to the Papacy.

Following is the Associated Press statement and then is given the substance of what was told the representative of the Register Sys­tem at the State Department Mon­day:

“ Diplomatic relatibns between the United States and Vatican City appeared today to be a step nearer realization.

“ The State department prepared to send instructions to the Ameri­can consulate in Rome, based on a congressional amendment signed recently by the President. The amendment permits the consulate to act as the authenticating agent for documents of record in Vatican City so that they may be used as evidence in courts of the United States.

‘Tf at some future time the United States stations a consul in Vatican City, it would be the first time in nearly 70 years that" this country had a diplomatic represen­tative accredited to the Vatican.”

Do priest! confer a plenary in- dulgenee on penitents at the time o f Confession?

.Prieets who are members of the Priests’ Communion league enjoy the rare faculty of imparting a plenary indulgence once a week to all penitents who receive Com­munion daily, or almost daily, that is, at least five times a week (A.A.S., vol. 39, p. 531 sqq.; vol. 40, p. 752). No special formula is required for granting this in­dulgence, and it may be given in advance for several weeks. All that is required is that the con-' fessor belong to the Priests’ Com­munion league and have the in­tention of granting the indul­gence, and that the penitent re­ceive Holy Communion at least five times a week and have-the in­tention of gaining it. When these conditions are fuifilled, the ple­nary indulgence is gained along with absolution. Since this in­dulgence is received together with absolution, without any other work being required, the gaining o f it may be considered more cer­tain than the gaining of most indulgences.

Note: Priests may join the Priests’ Communion league by writing to the national headquar-

- ters at 184 E. 76th street. New York, N. Y. Members of the Priests’ Eucharistic league are not entitled to this privilege.

/ read recently that an illegiti' mate child is declared irregular by the Church, and may not study for the priesthood (canon 984). Does this law also' forbid the en­trance of an illegitimate girl into the religious life? Must the foster parents advise the girl o f the cir­cumstances o f her birth?

This law does not prohibit the entrance of an illegitimate girl into the religious life. 'The right o f admitting candidates to the novitiate and to subsequent pro­fession, either temporary or per­petual, is vested in the major superiors after they have taken a vote o f the council or the chap­ter, according to the constitu­tions of each order or congrega­tion {canon 543). Hence, unless the constitutions of particular re­ligious communities forbid the admission of illegitimates, an il­legitimate girl may enter the re ligious life. The constitutions of most religious orders of women, however, require, in addition to certificates of Baptism and Con­firmation and testimonial letters, the marriage certificate of the ap­plicant’s parents. Ordinarily the foster parents should not tell an illegitimate child the circum stances of her birth as such de tails can be handled without her knowledge and thereby prevent the subsequent anguish that could arise.

An illegitimate youth can be ordained if he is legally legiti mized dispensed.

Is it at all possible for a woman to be validly ordained a priest?

Sacred ordination can be validly ,received only by a bap tizedaman. From Apostolic times the tradition of the Church has excluded women from becoming ordained ministers of the Church. The same practice obtained also in the Old Testament priesthood, which is a type of the Christian priesthood. Though God Him­self at times gave very important roles to women, for example, to Esther and Judith, they were ex­cluded from the service of the altar. St. Paul’s teaching in I Cor. xiv, 34, and I Tim. ii, 11, is absolutely opposed to the ministry of women in the Church. Several of the early fathers of the Church (e.g., St.. Irenaeus, St. Epiphanius, St. Ambrose, St. Augustine) call it an heretical error to admit women to the of­fice- and dignity of the- priesthood (Gasp. De Sacra Ord., I, n. 124)

What did Christ mean when He said to Peter; “ Put up again thy sword into its place, for all they that take the sword shall perish by the sword" (Matt, .xxiv, 52)?

In re-straining Peter, Jesus em­ploys a proverbial form of speech: “ All they that take the sword shall perish by the sword.’ ’ As in the case of all proverbs, this proverb may be rendered absurd by mak­ing it too absolute. It does not mean that all they who draw the sword in any cause shall perish by the same instrument. It means merely that a man resorting to force of arms, emblemized in the sword, as the means of arbitra­ment of any cause, renders him­self liable to fall by the same means which he employs against another. The general import of the proverb is to advise against force as an arbiter of causes. This was especially true of Our Lord’s cause. He was not to re­deem the world by force, but by voluntarily offering Himself up to them that would judge Him un­justly, and condemn Him to death (Breen’s Harmonized Exposition of the Four Gospels, vol iv, xx, p. 387).

Who was responsible for original tin, 4dam or Eve?

In so far as man is born into this world deprived of sanctifying grace, that is, in the state of original sin, Adam is responsible for this condition. God made Adam the representative of all who were to descend from him by natural generation. Had he per­severed, we should have been born in original justice.

Are Paul P. McNutt of the Philippine islands. President Par gas o f Brazil, andr Gene Tunney, former heavyweight champion. Catholics?

According to Who's Who in America, Paul Vories McNutt is a Methodist and a 32nd de­gree Mason. He was, however, awarded an honorary LL.D. from the University of Notre Dame. Getulio Vargas, president of Brazil, is a non-Catholic, but Gene Tunney is a Catholic.

Why are Catholics never en­couraged to read the Bible?

Catholics are encouraged to read the Sacred Scriptures. Pope Leo XIII on Dec. 3, 1898, granted

an indulgence to all Catholics who would spend 15 minutes daily in the devout reading of the Gos­pels. Pius VI among many other Pontiffs has said: “ The faithful should be excited to the reading of the Holy Scriptures, for these are the abundant sources which ought to be left open to every­one, to draw from them purity of morals and doctrine, to eradi­cate the errors which are so widely disseminated in these cor­rupt times.” Benedict XV com­mended the diligence of those who “ spread far and wide copies of the Holy Gospels as well as other books of the Holy Scriptures.” It may also be noted that were it not for the Church there would be no Bible today. Copies of the Sacred Scriptures can be obtained at any Catholic book store.

A woman o f “ Judge” Ruther­ford’s Witnesses called at my home and said that, although priests teach there is a hell, such a teach­ing is found nowhere in the Bible Is this true?

That the Bible contains many and direct references to the ex­istence of hell cannot be denied. It is enough to refer to such passages as Matt, xviii, 8; xxv, 41 sqq.; Mark ix, 48, etc. The existence of hell is mentioned, among other places in the New Testament, in St. Matthew (v. 22, 29, 30; x, 28; xviii, 9; xxiii, 15, 33); three times in St. Mark (ix, 43, 45, 47); once in St. Luke (xii, 5 ); and once in St. James (iii, 6). In the Old Testament the existence of hell is referred to in Isa. xxxiii, 14; Ixvi, 24; Dan. xii, 2; Ecclesiasti- cus vii, 17, and Judith xvi, 17. For references to hell’s torments, consult Matt, iii, 12; xxv, 41, 46; Mark ix, 43, 46; Luke iii, 17; II Thess. i, 7-9; Jude vi, 7 ; Apoc. xiv, 10, 11; XX, 10.

fPhy does the Legion of Decency list “ Hawaii Calls” as a clast A picture when Dorthy Lamour it proclaimed over the radio and in the press as the most scantily clad woman in pictures? If Catholics are to abide by this selection, when it is an occasion of sin to me and many others, is not the Legion of Decency guilty o f advising persons to frequent occasions o f sin?

In giving particular ratings to different pictures, the Legion of Decency considers the virtue, char­acter, and possible reactions of the generality of persons attending them, not, of an isolated man who is not normal and is more likely to fall into sin than the average man. Such a man must be governed by the knowledge of his own moral frailty, and avoid even that which is permissible for others. If a man wished to avoid the possibility of sin entirely, however, he would have to leave this world and be­come confirmed in grace. When a man discovers that a particular movie may be or is a proximate occasion o f sin to him, even though approved by the Legion, he must avoid it or leave it. No man is compelled to attend movies, much less is he forced to sit through the showing of a picture. The Legion of Decency does not advise anyone to attend movies, but rather cau­tions against seeing movies that may be an occasion of sin to the young, mixed groups, or the gen­erality of person!-, (cf. Sabetti Barrett’s Theol. Moralis, p. 782).

Scriptures Prove That Primitive Church W as Ruled by Bishops

The Oxford university press has brought out Further Letters of Gerard Manley Hopkins ($6): including his correspondence with' Coventry Patmore. Father Hop­kins, a convert and a Jesuit, has won a high posthumous place in the literary -world. The realm of English literature outside the Church seems to have a better recognition of his genius than ye Catholics yet show. The letters in the present volume include a num­ber to A. W. M. Baillie, a lifelong friend. The New York Times, in its review, saysl

“ As we page through the earlier letters to the '” ev. E. U. Ui-qu- hart and to A. W. M. Baillie, until we reach the more important mis­sives to Coventry Patmore and Cardinal Newman, one fact stands out in brilliant isolation. Hopkins was keenly aware of what he was letting himself in for when he joined the Roman Catholic Church and subsequently the Jesuit order. The so-called ‘terrible sonnets’ are there to witness that the struggle which he foresaw— the repudia­tion of his Anglican friends at Oxford, the grief of his family, the loneliness of the priest— had behind them a terrific reality. This point is made to -show the importance of reading this book, as well as the earlier volumes, if one is to savor the full meaning and significance of his difficult poetry.

“ Because some of his critics have not done this they have fancied that Hopkins was frus­trated by his conversion and his priestly vocation. The truth of the matter is that the intensity of his poetry is fathered by his religious convictions. The su­premacy of his religious fervor is not to be questioned. It is e-vident in every page of his correspond­ence. Not to see -that poems like­wise are ihe sparks flying radi­antly from the crucible of his spiritual purification is to miss the really significant contribution he makes to us today, for, analo- gou-sly, his struggle is ours. It is the same conflict that Eliot strove to depict for us only yester­day, but his spiritual vigor is water to the flame of Hopkins.”

There is no question in the mind of Catholic scholars that th^ primitive Church was always one^ of Bishops, like ours today.

In the beginning of their work, it would seem that the Apostles named by Jesus Christ did not assign themselves to individual sees, but, as might be expected at the start, went about doing mi.s- sionary work in Palestine. But from the time of the dispersion of these men for the purpose of car­rying the Gospel, St. James is undoubtedly the Bishop of Jeru­salem. Acts xii, 17; xv, 13, and Gal. ii, 12 indicate this. For in­stance, when Peter was miracu­lously delivered from Herod’s prison, he said: “ Tell these things to James and the brethren” (Acts xii, 17). Why single out James unless James was in charge of the Church in the city? The im-

Church Divine Guide For Erring Mankind(One of a* Series oh the Catechism

of the Council of Trent)Although reason and the senses

should suffice to enable man to recognize the “ Kingdom” of the New Testament (the ChurchK which Christ appointed as the nec­essary and infallible means of eternal salvation, yet the evident diversity and conflict of sects pro­fessing to be Christian seems rath*.' mystifying, at least'to those who are blind as regards the existence and identity of the one and only true Church of Christ. The very fact that there is such a multiplicity of denominations claiming to be Christian, yet be­lieving and teaching utterly con­trary doctrines, only emphasizes the need of a trustworthy guide, or teaching "authority. We cannot admit that it does not matter what we believe about the mysteries of the Christian religion and the various means of grace and salva­tion, provided only that we accept Jesus as the Savior, the promised Messias, and strive to pattern our lives according to His virtues and teaching.

If Christ taught that certain truths must be believed, and made practical in our lives, else we can­not be saved; that there are many “ avenues” which are but arteries (“ side roads” ) of the “ broad way that leads to destruction,” yet only one road (“ the narrow way” ) that leads to eternal life— then it does matter very much which road we follow. But, one might ask; “ Did not Christ foresee the confusion and diversity of beliefs and creeds that would arise down through the centuries— the outcome of man’s fallible intellect and fertile im­agination?” Being God, He most certainly did, and since He had promised that He would not leave us “ orphans,” He instituted a Church and declared that He would abide with it (through the Divine inspiration of the Holy

teach ye all nations, baptizing them,” etc. Previously He had de­clared; “ . . . whose sins you shall forgive, they are forgiven them,” etc.; “ He that heareth you, heareth Me,” etc. (Matt, xxviii, 18-20; John XX, 21, 23; Luke x , 16).

After the Apostles had received the Holy Ghost on Pentecost Sun­day, they went forth into the whole world (as then known), preaching and baptizing, with great fruit, to the intense exasperation of the chief priests of the Jews, who caused them to be apprehended and scourged, and forbade them to preach any more in the name of Jesus, the Crucified One. But the Apostles did not cease to preach the doctrine of their Divine Mas­ter, and the number of those who presented themselves for Baptism, increased exceedingly from day to day. Even Saul (St. Paul), a furi­ous persecutor of the Christians, became, by God’s grace, the most zealous propagator of the Gospel.

As a result of the preaching of the Apostles, there arose in many places communities of Christians, whose rulers were the Apostles themselves. The entire book of the Acts of the Apostles, as well as their Epistles, bear witness that they not only preached and bap­t is t , but also governed these com­munities in every way. They made j-egulations and laws, threatened, judged, and punished; they ex­cluded the unworthy from the com­munion of the faithful, and re­ceived them again when they had repented. (Cf. I Cor. v, 5; I Tim. i, 20) II Cor. ii, 10.) When the communities of Christians in­creased, they chose elders from amongst them, ordained them Bish­ops, and appointed them every­where as rulers of the new Chris­tian communities, with the com­mission that they should likewise ordain and appoint others.

Together with His own Divine power, Jesus conferred a three- fold office upon the Apo.stles: 1.

Ghost) “ all days, even to the con-,-The teaching office, which includ-summation of the i^nrld” (Matt, xvi, 18; xxviii, 20V

The Church whrch Christ estab­lished was appointed the custodian and interpreter of His doctrine. We are not to suppose that the Church was instituted or organ­ized by the Apostles themselves, as some have erroneously believed and declared. They were merely the instruments of the Savior, car­rying out the mission He entrusted to them. Before ascending into heaven, Jesus had said: “ All power is given to Me in heaven and on earth. Going, therefore.

ed the power to preach His doc­trine, to condemn heresies, and to decide religious controversies; 2. The priestly office, embodying the power to offer the sacrifice of the Mass, to administer the sacraments, and to bless; 3. The pastoral office, which consists in the full power to rule the Church, and, consequently, also to make laws and inflict pen­alties. But, in order to maintain unity, Christ appointed St. Peter His representative oh earth, the visible head of the Church. Our Savior Himself is, and always will be, its invisible Head.

portant role taken by James In the Council of Jerusalem would seem to indicate a special office (Acts xv). Also James’ act in sending delegates from Jerusalem to Antioch, where Peter, Paul, and" Barnabas were at the time, seems to be an Episcopal act (Gal. ii, 12). 3^^concede that none of these Scriptural refer­ences gives absc^te proof that the Apostles took_jiidividual sees, but when we interpret them in the light of history and tradition there is no question about the fact. Furthermore, the Epistles to Titus and Timothy strongly strengthen our position, for they prove the appointment of Bishops by the Apostle.s. Titus unques­tionably presided over the Church in Crete. Timothy, despite his youth, had full Apostolic authority in Ephesus.

In the beginning of the Church’, extraordinary gifts were poured out by the Holy Ghost on certain members to aid in its spread. St. Paul tells us that there were “ first Apostles, secondly prophets, thirdly doctors; after that mira­cles; then the graces of healing, helps, governments, kinds of tongues.” We are not sure to­day just what some of these charismata or gifts were. But it would seem that for a time, while there were always clergymen regularly ordained after the mod­ern fashion, there were persons specially endowed In a spiritual sense who had respect and juris­diction that afterwards passed to the other clergy when the charismata died out. The local ministry, when the charismata were active, occupied a less im­portant place, and we find the Didache, a book supposed to be

of the first century, arguing that Bishops and deacons had a right to respect, just as the possessors of charismata; “ for they are your honorable men along with the prophets and teachers.”

The Apostles’ office, it will be noticed, was mentioned by Paul as being among the charismata. He probably had in mind here not simply their Episcopal office, which exists to the present day and will continue in the Church to the end of time, but their spe­cial spiritual gifts, sivh as mira­cle-working, personal infallibility, etc., which did not pass to their successors.

As time went on, the charismata died out in the Church. Occa­sionally in Catholic history a saint has had some of the powers. We have had prophets, speakers in divers tongues, and other marvels among the saints. A few saints have been miraculou.sly filled with knowledge without study (for in­stance, St. Teresa of Spain). But even before the death of the Apostles, we see by a close study of the Scriptures, the charismata were passing. This was because there was no longer special need for these extraordinary gifts and the work of the ordinary clergy was able to supply all that was necessary.

Owing to this fact, we. find that while earlier Apostolic Epistles spoke of charismata, later letters pay attention to the local minis­try. For instance, Philippians, I and II Timothy, and Titus recog­nize the special place of the or­dained clergy. The Epistle to the Philippians is addre.ssed “ fo all the saints in Christ Jesus, who are at Philippi, with the Bishops and deacons.” The Epistles to Titus and Timothy are pastoral, direc­tions about the organization and government of churches. We find these and other facts set forth about the Bishops: No mention is made of charismata as a necessary qualification for the office; the Bishops have the duty of govern­ing the Church (I Tim. iii, 6 ); they must teach' (I Tim. iii, 2; Titus i, 9 ); the consecration to the office is by solemn laying on of hands (I Tim. y, 22); this ceremony of ordination gives an abiding grace which does not pass but can be stirred into life (II Tim. i, 6).

Perhaps at that early date every man ordained a priest was also made a Bishop; the question is disputed. But there is evidence of the existende at Jerusalem of presbyters (term used for Bishop- priests or perhaps for priests alone at times.) immediately sub­sequent to the dispersion of the Apostles (Acts xi, 30; xv, 2; xvi, 4; xxi, 18). We are also told that Paul and Barnabas appointed presbyters in every church they visited on a missionary journey (Acts xiv, 22). S t Peter speaks of him.self as a presbyter; St. Paul tells the presbyters of Ephesus (Acta xx) to take heed of the flock “ wherein the Holy Ghost has placed you Bishops to tend.”

From these facts, we feel that there can be no legitimate ques­tion about the Apostolic origin of the clergy. The fact is that all history shows the existence of this special body of spiritual leaders.

The Catholic Book club selected Scoop by Mr. Evelyn Waugh f Little, Brown & Cp.) as its July choice.

This hilarious satire on inter­national news reporting has the timeliness of tjie latest headline sensation. It is true that the scene has a background of a newspaper in Great Britain, but the London dailies have long ago rivaled their American counterparts in the matter of fervid journalism.

None of the characters is reli gious, and some of them are even irreligious, in a baleful, modern sort of way. It is just a crazy kind of story about a correspond­ent who was ‘ promoted from writing a column of nature notes (“ Lush Places” ) to the task of meeting the war requirements of the empty-headed Lord Copper, the News King, a great power in -Great Britain, a moulder of its foreign policy. It is as secular as anything j;hat has been \vritten this year. For all of that, it is a deeply Catholic book. For one thing, it is founded squarely on reason and common sense. That is a unique Cdtholic note, in these mad days of sentiment. Then, its humor comes from its characters, not its author, just as the para­doxes of Chesterton lay in the illogicality of his adversaries, not in him. Hence it also has the vir- ture of charity. Mr. Waugh loves his -foolish, blundering, malignant people; he has deep pity for them. But the deepest pity of all is for mankind, which has been led astray by its misplaced confidence in the type of individual who forges public opinion nowadays. Mr. Waugh has found in his new faith a standard of criticism which resides nowhere else. Back of his satire is the deep human conviction about reality, and the true nature of man which comes out of the Catholic faith alone.

father were mending their nets when the call came to follow after Christ. “ And Jesus walking by the Sea of Galilee saw two breth­ren, Simon, who is called Peter, and Andrew, his brother, casting a net into the sea (for they were fishers). And He saith to them: Come ye after Me, and I will make you to be fishers of men. And they, immediately leaving their nets, followed Him.

“ And, going on from thence. He .saw other two brethren, James, the son of Zebedee, and John, his brother, in a ship with Zebedee, their father, mendjng their nets. And He called them. And they forthwith left their nets and fa­ther, and followed Him” (Matt, iv, 18-22),

It was the mother of James and John who came to Our Lord ask­ing; “ Say that these my two sons may sit, the one on Thy right hand . and the other on Thy left, in Thy kingdom” (Matt, xx, 21). It was in answer to this request that Christ showed the danger of ambition, and that His followers were to rule in meekness and humility.

“ You know,” Christ said, “ that the princes of the Gentiles lord it over them; and they that are greater exercise power upon them. It shall not be so among you; but, whosoever will be the greater among you, let him be your minister. And he that will be first among you, shall be your servant. Even as the Son of man is not come to be ministered unto, but to minister and to give His life a redemption for many” (Matt, xx, 20-28). Our Lord’s answer serves also as a rebuke to inordi­nately fond parents, ,who would blind themselves to their children’s faults and unreasonableness.

Christ termed James and John the “ Sons of Thunder,” perhaps for their temper or spirit or vin­dictiveness. IVhen a town in Samaria had refused hospitality to Our Lord on His way to Jeru­salem, the two brothers asked; “ Lord, wilt Thou that we com­mand fire to come down from heaven and consume them? And turning He rebuked them, saying; You know not of what spirit you are. The Son of man came not to destroy souls, but to save” (Luke ix, 52-56). Even as His close followers and daily compan- ion.s they had much to learn in self-discipline and in the mission of salvation that was to be their later work. The most favored Apostles were not perfect always and deserved to be rebuked on oc­casion.

Early writers do not mention where James preached the Gospel after Our Lord’s Ascension. Tra­dition holds that he visited Spain, after some time' spent in Judea and Samaria. It was upon his return to the Holy Land that Herod imprisoned him and killed him.

James was buried in Jerusalem. It seems that for fear of the Arabs, when these were masters of the city, his ..body was carried finally to Compostela in Spain, This Sht'ine of Santiago became one of the greatest of Christian places of pilgrimage. July 25 re­calls the date of the translation of

St. James the Greater was the first martyr among the Apostles.He was killed when the infant Church was scarcely ten years old, by order of King Herod Agrippa I, who had begun a persecution of the Christians in the Holy Land.This ,much is evident from a pas­sage in the Acts of the Apostles in reference to St. Peter’s being cast into Iprison later by Herod, because the persecution pleased the Jews. “ Herod the King stretched forth his hands to afflict some of the Church, And he killed James, the brother of John, with the sword. And seeing that it pleased the Jews, he pro­ceeded' to take up Peter also”(xii, 1-3).

Two Apostles were named James. In order to distinguish the two, one is known in Sacred Scrip­ture as the Less, the other as the Greater. James the Greater may have been so called because he was older or taller or larger or for any number of similar rea­sons. He is one of the sons of Zebedee and a brother of St.John, the beloved disciple und Evangelist.

James came from the territory around the Sea of Galilee and with his father and brother earned his livelihood as a fisherman. 'With his brother, John, and Peter, he completes the triumvirate of favored Apostles selected to -vvit- ness Our Lord’s Transfiguration on Mt. Tabor and His agony in the garden of Gethsemani.

Two sets of brothers are num­bered among the Twelve Apostles.Peter and Andrew"’ formed one pair, James and John the other.These four seem to have lived near one another; certain it is that they fished together, for they were partners. The account of the miraculous catch of fishes relates how Simon’s net broke “ and they beckoned to their partners that were in the other ship that they should come and help them. . . .For he (Peter) was wholly aston­ished, and all that were with him, at the draught of fishes that they had taken. And so were also James and John, the sons of Zebedee, who were Simon’s part­ners” (cf. Luke V, 1-11).

These four Apostles, according to the Gospel story, also were chosen by Our Lord at the same time. Peter and Andrew were fishing, James and John with their.' St. James’ relics.

(Continued from Page One)been used in a confusing variety o f significations by different philAlngists" (1926 edition, vols. i*ii, p. 711). Max Muller used it especially, but as a convenient short term for the whole body of languages known its Indo-European or Indo-Cermanir. “ Aryas are those who speak Aryan languages, whatever their color, whatever their blood. In calling them Aryas, we predicate nothing of them except that the grammar o f their lan­guage is Aryan” (Biographieg nj Wordt and the Home of the Aryat, p. 245). Muller carefully avoids establishing any ethnological signification for the word Aryan. He deems Hindus, Greeks, Romans, (Armans, Celts, and Slavs to he Aryan. The blackest Hindu and the fairest Scandinavian come under the same classification. Muller scoffs at the idea of an Aryan race, Aryan blood, Aryan hair, Ayran eyes.

Inasmuch as the Hindus un­questionably belong to the Aryans, and are Orientals, the Italian savants' statement about drawing a sharp demarcation between Mediterranean Europeans and Ori­entals becomes just a trifle silly.

Our learned Holy Father was not long in answering ■ the state­ment. Speaking July 16 before a pilgrim'age of the Sisters of the Cenacle, he attacked exaggerated nationalism and said it is a male­diction impeding the health oi souls and creating barriers between peoples. Such divisions are con­trary to faith and to the laws of Cod. Osservatore Romano, com­menting editorially on the Pope’s address, declared it a general order calling on all congregations and missionaries to arm against the danger of supernationaiism. His Holiness has been working on a formal pronouncement to the world against racism.

The London Catholic Times tells us that 50 reasons why Christianity should be abandoned have been tabulated for the bene­fit o f the Hitler Youth by one of their leaders. Included are such atatements as this: “ (Christianity is the same as Communism; Jesus was a Jew; the Papacy is a fraud; destiny is superior to God.” If Germany no longer upholds the Catholic Church, says the tabula­tion, then the Church is finished. Christianity is declared the reli­gion o f fools and slaves because Christ taught that “ the last shall be first and the first last,” and “ Blessed are the poor in spirit.” The fact that the Church is inter­national is given as one o f the reasons why it must die. IVero has at last found a defender in this compilation; we are told that “ he had a perfect reason for persecut­ing — he eradicated the Jewish spirit o f Christianity.” Ignatius Loyola, we are informed, was of Jewish descent., “ There is no Christidn culture. . . . Tlie idea of a Messiah can be found only in a bad people.; a good people iias no

. need of a redeemer.” Other rea­sons raise questions that have been exploded to the iioint of nausea- tion, such as the fable o f the Popess Joan, the Galileo case, etc.

Isaias answered this sort o f stuff long ago: “ You have said: We have entered into a league with death, and we have made a cove­nant with hell” (Xxviii, 15). Anti- clerics o f Germany can-no more alienate the Catholic people by such rot than they could the American Catholics.

Tfhe Catholic Herald-Citizen o f Milwaukee quotes Catholics who are labor leaders to remind us that if (Communists, instead of (Catholics, get control of the union forces, it is our own fault. “ 1 become a little discouraged,” as­serts Miss. Mamie .Santora of the .Amalgamated (Clothing Workers, “ when I hear that such and such a union is dominated by Commu­nists. Why is it not dominated by Catholics? All o f these unions have a large percentage o f Cath­olic workers in them, and Cath­olic workers must train themselves to become leaders in the labor movement.” John Brophy of the CIO warns: “ If we Catholics haven’t the courage to take over the leadership of the unions, there are others who will step into the positions.” James Westcott of the American Federation o f Labor says: “ The large number of union members are Catholics and we must have Catholic leaders.”

Mexi(can Educators Are Told to Fight ReligionMexico City. — Teachers and

parents are indignant about a cir­cular sent to principals, teachers, and inspectora in the official schools by the Syndicate of Work­ers of Education. The circular has to do with the interpretation of article 3 of the constitution but exceeds the spirit of the law by informing teachers that they must not only refrain from giving reli­gious instruction of any kind in the schools, but must “ ideolog­ically and in an energetic manner” combat all religions.

Homer Martin, a former Prot­estant preacher, now president of the United Automobile Workers, declared a few days ago at De­troit: “ Perhaps no single conquest means so much to the Stalinist dic­tatorship as the control of the labor movement in this country.”

Monsignor Hawks of Philadel­phia, noted convert writer, wrote from Zaragoza, in the Nationalist part of Spain, which he has been visiting. He found great gaps in the streets, the result of bomb­ings by the so-called Loyalists. Did you read anything about this in the American dailies? No, you read only that Franco’s planes were bombing Loyalist cities, without the explanation’s being offered that the Franco attapks were directed against munition dumps in the very heart , o f these places.

Monsignor Hawks happened to be in Zaragoza on Sunday. He found the churches jammed al­most to suffocation. Several huge churches are capable of holding a combined crowd of 20,000, and Masses succeeded one another until 1 o’clock. “ The devotion seemed very simple and honest. No one passed any altar without bowing; the use of holy water at the door was quite ceremonious. The • writer returned to the hotel feeling that he had peeped into the Spanish soul. Little did the Reds reckon with that soul.” Franco, he says, has destroyed the separatism that was used as a tool by secret society politicians in the past to divide the people and ex­ploit them. “ A united Spain is unconquerable.”

The second year o f the war closed with Franco master of more

Catholic Parents Fight School Sex Education

Paris.— The protests of Catholic parents’ associations against sex education in the public schools have had effect. The ministry of national education has withdrawn the order.

Loew’* theaters in New York city, which have been operating for 33 years, carried a large ad­vertisement in the Catholic News o f July 9 apologizing for exhibit­ing the film Blockade, which is propaganda for the Red cause in Spain. “ We have tried to keep our screens free from anything that is not entertainment. We do not believe the motion picture theater is the place for political propaganda and we have carefully avoided showing pictures of the ‘propaganda’ type.” The Loew pre-viewing committee had thought Blockade only an entertainment picture and had contracted for it. (This is n<n much of a tribute to the comniitiee's intelligence, but we do not doubt the truth of the statement).

At least the Loew firm was a little more honest than one West­ern chain theater man. He pro­fessed himself distressingly sorry when a priest protested to - him against Blockade. Then the next week he exhibited it in another ul his theaters.

Tlie press gives interesting figures about the Rheims Cathe­dral, just rededicated. It was struck by 287 shells in the World war. Only 17 buildings were left intact in the city o f 100,000 per sons. The reconstruction o f the Cathedral began in 1922, spon­sored by the French government, with John D. Rockefeller, Jr., giv ing 82,300,000. The great bells one of which dates back to 1570. rang out again July 9 after a silence o f 24 years. Eight Car­dinals, 60 Archbishops and Bishops, hundreds of priests, and a group of officials led by the Catholic Presi­dent of France, .Albert Lebrun, at­tended the rededication. Cardinal ■Archbishop Suhard pontificated. Marshal Petain, the Prince of Moraco, and a large delegation from the British Houses of Lords and Commons attended. The present Cathedral was begun in 1212 and finished after 229 years' work. Six tali towers, never re­placed, were soon burned down Rheims is far older as a Cathe­dral town. King Clovis o f the Franks was baptized there in 496. Five Popes and 50 ('.ardinals have come from, the clergy o f the Rheims Cathedral. Relics of 40 French saints were carried through the streets in the July 9 procession.

W'e recalled H. L. Mencken’s comment about the “ virulence of the national appetite for bogus revelation” when we read Time’s description o f Master Metaphysi­cian James Bernard Schafer’s dedi­cation o f a 100-room house in Oakdale, Long Island, for his Royal Fraternity of Master Meta­physicians. He acquired the place, built 30 years ago for 87,000,000, for 8350,000, which came in “ love gifts” from his disciples. Schafer conducts a school for his fol­lowers in New A’ork and makes them Master Metaphysicians after a year and a half. “ What they study is far from clear, hut the Royal Fraternity's creed might be described as a theological goulash of R osier ucia n ism , (Tiristian .Science, (Jirislianity, Supermind Science, faith healing, and How to Win Friends and Influence Peo­ple.” We have long had sects, like the Theosophists, the Rosi- crucians, and one oi two secret societies, that, while preaching a definite religion, nevertheless claim that members of any denomination may also be a member of them. Schafer goes them one bet­ter. “ Our organization is u.ior ganized,” he said. He told the press: “ People think we’re a lot of nuts.”

Earl Browder, general secretary and spokesman for the Communist party in the United States, wa> more than frank when he appeared before the McNaboe investigating committee. “ We hope,” he said, “ that .New York instead o f Moscow will be the center of the (kimmu- nist International some day.” We imagine that most Communists share the wisn.

PBELITE HGESOakland, Calif.— “ Let us make

religion our life’s work and foster the religious training of youth,” declared the Most Rev. John J. Mitty, Archbishop of San Fran- ciscoj in drawing up a line of bat­tle for the warfare confronting Catholics of today. Archbishop Mitty, speaking at the 38th an­nual convention of the Portuguese Society of Queen St. Isabel, said we jnust seek strength by frequent attendance at Mass and reception of the sacraments to fortify our­selves against the slightest evil.

The prelate commented on the sad plight of those parents and children in countries where reli­gion is proscribed, where false charges are directed against the Church, and where indifferentism toward Catholic belief and prac­tice is fostered.

At the convention were dele­gates from 145 councils from all parts of California.

Bishop Hunt spoke on “ The Real Presence,” and said that the Holy Eucharist fulfilled perfectly the need for^ communion with *God, which htfd been felt by man throughout the first period of re­lationship with God. In'that pe­riod, he added,Ahere also was need of an object of worship apd a per­fect sacrifice. Our Lord’s birth changed all this, ha went on, since “ He was ;the object of worship,” He gave to a few men “ the tran­scendent privilege of beholding God in the flesh,” and on Calvary He was “the perfect sacrifice, in which the object offered to God was infinite, being none other than Our Lord Himself.”Made Perfect Communion Poitible

“ The presence of Our Lord on earth made possible also the per­fect Communion,” he continued. “ The night before He died, at the Last Supper, He gave Himself to His chosen Apostles.. In compari­son with this, all’ previous com­munions appear insignificant, for the Apostles received not merely a sign of grace, but the Author of grace Himself. They took part in a cergfiiony; which not merely symbolized unibn with God but which in an extraordinary manner was union with God.”

“ As we contemplate Our Lord’s Ascension into heaven, leaving His follpwera behind,” the Bishop went on, “ we cannot but ask whether these m a r v e l o u s privileges had come to an end. Were all men, from that moment on. to kmow of God’s pres­ence on earth merely as an inci­dent of history? Were men never again to have God in their midst as an object of worship, or to offer Him as the victim of sacrifice, or to receive Him in Communion? Had God lifted the human race-for a brief Shoment/tof exalted in­timacy, only to dtclp it back again forever? Was the clock to beturned backward? Were men to be throwri back again on their own human devices, for the wor­ship of God, for sacrifices to Him, and for Communion? Does it seem reasonable?”

Move Was Ahead He said it seems reasonable that

“ in the third and final period of God’s relationship with man the move should be ahead rather than backwards, that man should be drawn closer to God rather than pushed away.” “ As the second period was an advance over the first, so the third must be an ad­vance over the second,” he as­serted.

The advance, he said, was inextending the privilege of perfect

:^o werewor^ip “ from the few w ■with Our Lord to all oi the mil­lions of Christians who come after them.” “ So we look to Our Lord for' some plan whereby the high privilege of His presence could be extended so as to be available toall men, everywhere and always,” he added. “ 'We look to Him fora method whereby He can do for us what He did for the few w'ho knelt before Him 19 centuries ago, who stood at the foot of the cross, and whb received Him in Com­munion |at the Last Supper. Our reaspniiig thus brings us to the sacram^t of the Eucharist.”

Ill I . S. IS

St. Louis.— That the system of organizing the Third Order as a national unit in the United States meets with high favor in Europe is the word brought back to this country, by the Rev. Maximus Poppy, O.F.M., national secretary of the Third Order, after a three- month stay in Rome and other parts of Europe. The “ American plan” may be adopted internation­ally, the priest says, as a result of the splendid results obtained here through inter-provincial and inter- jurisdictional co-operation of Ter­tiary units.

New emphasis on the fact that those who occupy high positions of temporal leadership should at the same time conform their own lives to the principles of religion has been placed by the revision of thc Breviary Offices for the Feasts of St. Louis, King of France, and St. Elizabeth, Queen of Hungary— chief patrons of the Third Order.

Pope Pius, one of the oldest liv­ing Tertiaries of St. Francis, has been a member for 63 years.

King Alfonso’s Aunt Tells Spain’s Policy

Paris.— (IN S)— IVith Spain en­tering its third year of the war, European countries were asking pertinent questions regarding pos­sible policies of the country should Franco put a speedy termination to hostilities. Chief among these was the question of foreign •in­fluences and the' restoration of the Bourbon dynasty. Both questions were answered by Infanta Eulalie, 74-year-old aunt of the deposed King Alfonso XIII, in an Inter­national News interview. Accord­ing to the Infanta, the Spanish people will not have foreigners in Spain. The restoration of the Bourbons, she also said, is en­tirely up to Generalissimo Franco.

Rural Life conference. Confer­ence leade'rs include the Rev. Dr. M. M. Coady, the Rev. Dr. J/ J. Tompkins, and Sister Marie Mi­chael, leader of the women’s groups among the co-operatives.

The trips will be on a non-profit basis, and any balance left at the close of the period will' be re­turned pro rata to the tourists as patronage savings.
