10 Catholic Weekly Wages War Against Enemies of Church INNSBRUCK, Austria (NC)— Per Volksbote, Catholic weekly here, has called for a world-wide campaign for the signatures of Christians, Moslems and Jews to a resolution demanding religious freedom in communist-dominated count The resolution with these signatures should then be forwarded to the United Nations, Hundreds of millions of such signatures would serve true peace and set in motion a force which would make communist regimes slow down their persecution of re ligion, the paper says. Catholics throughout the world have a particular obligation to pro vide the initiative for such a move ment. according to the paper. “It is the scandal of the 20th cen tury,’ the Volksbote declares, “that among the 340 million Catholics so few are active in word and deed to help by prayer and action their brethren in the Faith who are sub jected to the greatest church per secution in history.’’ There arc 60 million persecuted Catholics be hind the iron curtain, the paper recalls.

The HoJv Father’s way of combating Communism is to erect the Cross and the altar as a spiritual fortress against the Hammer and the Sickle. Pope’s Mission Outlined by Bi The Pope has pointed out seven ways for the faithful to help the Church’s world wide missions, Bishop Fulton J. Sheen writes the current issue of WORLDMIS SION (of which he is editor-in chief). The seven mission aids are: prayers of the faithful, adoption of native priests, zeal by the cler gy, prayers and sacrifices of chil dren, women in altar societies, fos tering vocations, and general alms. Bishop Sheen, who is national director of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith, enumer ates the list in a commentary on the Holy’s Father’s recent en cyclical on the missions, entitled “Evangelii Praecones.” On the subject of alms, the Bishop writes: “Each missionary society has to train its missionaries and aid its members in the field. But since only four per cent of the total number of missionaries are from America, it follows that the Hoiy See has to support most of the oth ers. There are 27,000 priests on the foreign missions, 10,000 Brothers and 63,000 Sisters, 85,000 cate chists and 94,000 lay teachers, all of whom have to live. But in order to work they have to support their 42,000 elementary schools, 4,000 high schools, 2,200 colleges and professional schools, 1,200 hospit als. 3,200 dispensaries, 180 lepro saria, 1,800 orphanages and 270 homes for the aged.” U. S. Biggest Giver Bishop Sheen then goes on to say that over 50 per cent of the total contributed for the missions of the world comes from the Unit ed States, the per capital contribu tion of American Catholics in a year being 13 cents. The next high est, he says, is “little Luxem bourg” with 11 cents, and the next highest nations rate as follows: French Canada, eight cents, New Zealand, New Hebrides and Baha mas 7 cents, Australia. Malta and Ireland six cents and Belgium and the Netherlands five cents. “There is no necessary relation between the economic status of a country and the alms contributed,” the Bishop writes. “Christian alms are not given because of superflu ity, but because of the intensity of the faith. When, however, one real izes how much is spent on other things, the alms are still very low. The average Catholic Amer ican last year gave 13 cents to the Holy See for missions, but he also averaged $8.60 on the movies. One could dream about the moral stat ure of America if the figures were reversed and 13 cents were spent on movies and $8 60 on Evangelii Praecones." Speaking on the adoption of na tive priests, Bishop Sheen notes that the per capita income in In dia is $56 a year, in China .$26 and in Kenya Colony, Africa. $21. He adds: “Many of the best-intention ed Catholic families in these lands could not possibly afford to edu- THE CATHOLIC TIMES, FRIDAY.

It looks particularly to the U.S., where the per capita income is $1,450.” World Vision Needed As to the zeal of the clergy, the Bishop notes that the priest is bid den to enlarge the horizons of his apostolic zeal, so as to think not in terms of parish or diocese alone, but to have universal sympathy for all mankind. He writes that “the Savior said to every priest: 'Go teach all nations,’ not ‘Go teach St. Joseph's parish’.” On the mission aid of women in altar societies, Bishop Sheen writes: “Women cannot bring the bread and wine to the altar as sacristans, but they can prepare linens, the vestments, the copes and the chas ubles for the Holy Sacrifice. What a joy to the Eucharistic Heart of the Savior, when the power of His Resurrection is re-enacted in the Mass, to see the natives of Africa, China and Japan lift up the hosts and chalice from the altar linens wrought by the Catholic women of America as a proof that all peoples are one in this supernal act of love.” -------------------o------------------- Rome Is Scene Of First World Congress of Laity ROME—(NC) The World Con gress of the Catholic Lay Aposto late opened here with Benediction of the Blessed Sacrament in St. Peter’s Basilica and a plenary meeting in the large auditorium of the Palazzo Pio. Some 1,200 delegates represent ing almost every country in the world were present. In St. Peter’s they implored God's help to dis cover, improve and perfect new methods of bringing to the world “the peace of Christ in the king dom of Christ.” Six Cardinals, 21 Archbishops and Bishops and many priests are taking part in the sessions to as sist and encourage the lay dele gates in their work. The laity were called on today to help mobilize the resources of the “peaceful army” of the Church’s laity for a renewed campaign to spread the leaven of Christian doctrine and life through out human society. Twenty-two persons from the United States have joined here with Catholic lay people from all continents and many island com munities who are members of vari ous lay organizations within the Church.

Pius XI said: "Charity to the missions surpasses every other work of charity." You should make atonement for your sins or your w-ant of faith by bringing others to the faith. Sava a soul and you will help save your own. Experience shows that God grants many favors to those who are most sacrificing for His Missions. If you were starving in India, made homeless in Korea, persecuted in China, a victim of leprosy in New Guinea, you would want your neighbor to help you. The Society for the Propagation of the Faith has its missionaries read 15,000 Masses a year for those who pray and sacrifice for the Missions. The measure of your love for the faith is what you are willing to sacrifice for it. There are 1,100,000,000 people in the world today who have not the joy of sacramental union with Our Lord and His Blessed Mother. LAST YEAR—The Catholics gave 8c per capita on Mission Sunday But they spent $8.60 per capita on movies. THIS YEAR—For the sake of the peace of the world give ONE DAY’S SALARY. The per capita income of the United States last year was $1,453. But the per capita of other countries was very low: Japan $100 Ceylon $67, India $57, Pakistan $51, Liberia $38, South Korea $35, Iran $25. That is why we have to help. Put your sacrifice in on envelope and drop it in the collection basket on MISSION SUNDAY, October 21, or send it to your DIOCESAN DIRECTOR.
