Scores Theory Of
Over- Population
The “pessimistic theory of over
population" was criticized in a
radio broadcast last night (Thurs
day, Nov. 1) at 11:15 p. m. over
Columous Station WBNS by the
Rev. Thomas F. Duffy of St. Char
les Seminary.
Father Duffy declared that at
tempts to fit people to resources,
instead of developing resources
for people, “hinders the solution
to the real problem."
Referring to the planners who
try to insinuate the over-popula
tion theory into the President’s
Point Four program for undevelop
ed lands, Father Duffy said the
attempt could be “catastrophic to
our foreign policy.
Such an attempt, he added,
would offend the consciences and
sensibilities of millions in many
areas of the world, and if the
U. S. tries to enforce such a pro
gram, it would “play into the
hands of the Communists.”

ritis.
The Feast of St. Charles falls
this year on Sunday, Nov. 4. Ob
servance of the feast at the semi
nary was postponed to make it pos
sible for a greater number of
priests to attend.
St. Charles Borromeo, who was
Cardinal Archbishop of Milan, took
a leading role in the Council of
Trent in the middle of the 16th
century. One of the Council’s de
cisions was that every diocese is
bound to support, to rear in piety,
and to train in ecclesiastical dis
cipline a certain number of youths
in a college chosen by the Bishop.
Seminary regulations proposed
then by St. Charles are still follow
ed throughout the Catholic world.

Missing Column Found
Mystery Is Cleared Up
Some readers have been puzzled
by the apparent disappearance of
the column “As We Were Saying"
that used to begin on page one.
Actually the column has not been
discontinued, but is published un
der another title, “Just Among
Ourselves,” on the editorial page.
The change occurred Oct. 5 in the
first edition of the Catholic Times,
when the author of the column
noted, “Old columns never die
they just change their names.”
Pope Marks 15th Centenary
Of Great Chalcedon Council
Pope Pius XII presided at a Sol
emn Pontifical Mass in St. Peter’s
Basilica yesterday (Nov. 1) cele
brating the 1.500th anniversary of
the Council of Chalcedon. His Em
inence Eugene Cardinal Tisscrant,
Dean of the Sacred College and
Secretary of the Sacred Congrega
tion for the Oriental Rites, was the
celebrant.
Earlier in the week an assemb
lage of ten Cardinals, 50 Archbish
ops and Bishops and 3000
of the faithful, gathered in
the new auditorium in Palazzo
Pio to mark the 15th centenaray
of the Council, heard the Holy
Father speak by radio from his
summer residence at Castelgan
dolfo.
In his message, the Pontiff de
clared that the whole Catholic
world is giving praise to God for
the preservation and the triumph
of the dogmatic truth defined by
the Council 15 centuries ago. (Be
lief in Christ’s two natures—hu
man and divine.)
“Just as the Orient and the Oc
cident 15 centuries ago rejoiced at
the solemn definition made by the
Council,” His Holiness said, “so
today the whole Catholic universe,
together with Us gives glory to
God Who has confirmed this faith,
Who has made it vital, effective
and triumphant over all dangers
in the whirling changes of fragile
and perishable human thought.”
The Pontiff declared himself
overjoyed that from the same chair
from which Leo the Great presid
ed over the Council of Chalcedon
“we can witness—living unbeaten,
unshakable and unmarred—the be
lief of the Church in the two na
tures of Christ, human and divine,
subsisting in the One Person of the
Word.”
His Eminence Gregory Peter XV
Cardinal Agagianian, Patriarch of
Cilicia of the Armenians, in his
commemorative address, reviewed
the history of the Chalcedon Coun
cil and the underlying theological
controversies.
The Catholic Times
Columbus 16, Ohio, Friday, Nov. 2, 1951
Bishop Albert R. Zuroweste of
Belleville was reelected president
at the closing session of the six
day convention. Bishop Edwin V.
O’Hara of Kansas City, founder of
the conference, was named honor
ary president. Bishop William T.
Mulloy of Covington was designat
ed Episcopal adviser and Bishop
Edward C. Daly, O.P., of Des
Moines was chosen to be moder
ator.
Other officers are: the Rev. Jos
eph Frommherz, Swanton, O., first
vice president Dr. Paul Sacco,
Davenport, la., second vice presi
dent Martin Salm. Chilton. Wise.,
third vice president the Rev.
James Hylden, Edgeley, N. Dak.,
fourth vice president: the Rev. J.
B. Gremillion, Shreveport, La., re
cording secretary Joseph J. Train
er, Trenton, N.J., treasurer and
Msgr. Luigi G. Ligutti, Des Moines,
executive director.
The convention favored a nation
al review in the near future of so
cial policy regarding cooperatives
and cooperative organization. A
statement of the conference board
of directors asserted:
“This will help clarify issues and
remove many occasions of misun
derstanding concerning the nature
and functions of genuine coopera
tives. We regard cooperatives or
ganized along democratic lines as
a legitimate form of economic act
ivity and regret the confusion
which has risen from misunder
standing by critics of cooperatives,
as well as from the use of the
name cooperative in connection

Rural Life Conference Urges
Land Reform, Boosts Co-ops
Bishop Zuroweste of Belleville Named President
Again Family Farm Ownership Encouraged
BOSTON—(NC) —Programs to
promote land reforms throughout
the w'orld “along truly democratic
lines" and to establish internation
al migration were endorsed by the
29th annual National Catholic Ru
ral Life Conference convention
here. The migration program, it
was said, would help some coun
tries solve their under-employment
problems and at the same time aid
in the economic development of
less populous areas of the world.
with organizations and enterprise1
not truly such. Monopolistic trends,
insofar as they may exist, are just
as undesirable among cooperatives
as among other forms of enterprise.
It is important that the value of
purchasing and distribution coop
eratives serving family farmers be
recognized and such cooperatives
be encouraged, since (hey make it
possible for smaller farm enter
prises to compete in the market
and to strengthen their economic
position.”
The convention recorded itself
in favor of family farms as the pre
ferable form of agricultural enter
prise. The family farm was char
acterized as encouraging wide dis
tribution of ownership in produc
tive land as well as a safeguard
against collectivism.
Modern history has proven the
contention that a nation can survive
only so long as its rural areas are
strong, Archbishop Richard J. Cush
ing of Boston declared during a
sermon in the Cathedral of the Ho
ly Cross at a Solemn Pontifical
Mass which formally opened the
convention.
He reminded that this proposi
tion was emphasized at the turn
of the century by William Jen
nings Bryan in his famous “Cross
of Gold” speech in Chicago. The
Archbishop said: “I refer to the
proposition of the great Commoner
that the cities of a nation could be
burned down and the nation still
survive so long as its farming and
agricultural communities were left
intact, but that if its rural com
munities were destroyed or their
interests undermined, then the cit
ies would starve and the metropol
itan areas of the nation would top
ple in ruins.”
(Continued on Page 2)
At the same time the storm of
controversy raging around the un
expected move continued to mount,
as Protestant leaders accused the
Church of making a new “bid for
power”, despite the face that there
was no evidence of Catholic influ
ence in the President’s naming of
a Protestant and Mason to the post.
Responsible newspapers through
out the nation, however, made it
clear that criticisms of the appoint
ment were “based on false prem
ises” (Cleveland Plain Dealer) and
that Truman had “shown good
judgment” (Detroit Free Press).
The Boston Daily Globe said the
nomination gives the U.S. access
to “an unparalleled source of in
formation which no Iron Curtain
can stop.”

Education
Week To Be
Nov. 11-17
Catholic Schools Urged
To Take Active Part
In Annual Observance
Catholic schools in the Colum
bus Diocese and throughout the
nation will play an active role in
the observance of American Edu
cation Week from Nov. 11 to 17,
and in the interpretation of the
Week's theme, “Unite for Free
dom.”
The Department of Education of
the National Catholic Welfare Con
ference called the observance an
“excellent opportunity” for Cath
olic teachers to “explain the Cath
olic school program to your associ
ates in the teaching profession,
civic officials, your neighbors, and
all others interested in your
school.”
In a letter to the principals of
Catholic schools in the Diocese, the
Rev. Bennett Applegate, acting
superintendent of schools declared
that “-it wouH be difficult to over
emphasize the importance of Amer
ican Education Week." and called
attention to the “apostolic oppor
tunities for interpreting Catholic
education to the many communi
ties of our diocese."
Father Applegate recommended
that each school plan a program
for the week and obtain adequate
publicity for the program.
He also urged the schools to
make use of the recently publish
ed volume. “These Young Lives.”
prepared by a committee of di
ocesan school superintendents to
publicize the purpose and program
of the Catholic schools. Copies of
the book, he said, are available at
the Diocesan Education office.
The NCWC Department of Edu
cation counseled principals of Cath
olic schools throughout the coun
try to “endeavor to interpret your
school to the community by publi
cizing its achievements in the sec
ular press or by taking part in
meetings of public school teachers
or by encouraging your pupils to
take part in various community
projects."
The department called the ob
servance “an occasion to extend a
most cordial welcome to all who
would inquire about our purpose,
our work, and our achievements.”
It called attention to the “in
crease of antagonistic and bitter
criticism of Catholic schools.” and
added that the criticism “boils
down to the charge that in Amer
ican education there is little or
no room for Catholic schools.”
“Some of this criticism.” it
points out, “is the result of preju
dice and ill-will, but most of it is
the product of misunderstanding or
lack of understanding about the
purpose and program of our
schools. Few of our critics have ev
er seen the inside of a Catholic
school and even fewer have ever
talked to our school teachers. Their
knowledge of Catholic education
is based mainly upon prejudicial
and hateful caricatures of our
schools so widely publicized in
books like the Blanshard volumes.”
Admitting that “there is little
you may do to meet criticism bas
ed upon ill-will and prejudices.”
the department adds that “you may
do much to correct misunderstand
ing and misinterpretation of Cath
olic education."
“This year’s theme. ‘Unite for
Freedom.’,” the department wrote,
“should appeal to Catholic school
officials and teachers who may use
it to show the close relationship
between Catholic principles and
genuine freedom. This theme also
will allow for some judicious at
tention to the highly important
fact that the best protection of
freedom of education is respect for
the rights of parents and the rights
of non-public schools.
“Above all, ‘Unite for Freedom’
suggests the importance of publi
cizing the idea that freedom cor
rectly understood is not mere im
munity from external coercion but,
in truth, is the power to be human
in the discharge of all our duties
to God, Church, society, nature,
and self.”

Pope rges Czechs
lo Persevere In
Obedience To Gori
VATICAN CITY (NC) His
Holiness Pope Pius XII has sent an
Apostolic Letter to the Church in
Czechoslovakia urging its mem
bers to persevere in their suffer
ings until the day the Church will
triumph and their example will
then shine forth before all.
The papal letter was sent to the
Czechoslovak Hierarchy on the oc
casion of the 33rd anniversary of
Czechoslovak independence.
“Remember this above all,” the
Pope said. “Men can rob you of
your liberty. They can torment you.
They can subject you to public de
rision. They can cast you into pris
on. They can even put you to
death. But they can never pluck
the Catholic Faith from your
hearts, nor sully your conscience.
“They can make martyrs if they
wish. But they cannot—for this We
hope and ask God with suppliant
prayers make traitors to the
Christian religion, provided all
with resolute will persevere in
their obedience to the laws of God
and the Church.”
