Book Is Monument of
Love Io Heroic Priest
FRANKFURT—(NC) A priest

sister. Elizabeth.
Father Brinkman died in 1948
after a life devoted to the care
of souls in utter despair. He start
ed his work as far back as 1933
when Hitler first gained power.
He spent much time in the Stadel
heim prison at Munich where 35
death sentences were often carried

vice and comfort and praying with

Letter to the Editor
In a large Columbus depart
ment store, my eye caught a
bale of hay in what looked like
a stable, with the caption read
ing something like, “He will
be here soon.”
“How wonderful,” I thought,
“they are going to have a Na
tivity scene with th*1 Infant.”
Upon closer inspection I found
not the Baby Jesus, for whom
Christmas is actually celebrat
ed, but (oh no!) Rudolph the
Red-Nosed Reindeer was ex
pected.
Thoroughly disillusioned, 1
came home and decided to try
to do something about it. Why
couldn’t these department
stores really have a Nativity
scene? All children love babies,
and it would teach them, if
they don’t already know, the
real meaning of Christmas.
Beautiful recordings could be
played and even choruses from
schools invited to come in to
sing carols. If money must be
involved, a chimney into which
children place their pennies
could be placed near, and such
monies donated to such institu
tions as Nightingale Cottage,
Children's Hospital, St. Vin
cents’#, etc.
If you like this idea, how about
cutting out this article and
mailing it into your favorite
downtown department store. As
a mother, 1 think Santa Claus,
gifts etc. are necessary and
happy things, but first things
first, and the real meaning of
Christmas should motivate our
giving, even if the gift is “Ru
dolph.”

W omen Alerted
To Dangers Of
Modern Fiction
The Rev. Leonard J. Fick, edi
tor of The Joxephinum Review, this
week called for “a nation wide and
duly authorized rating program
that would do for the modern nov
el what the Legion of Decency does
for the motion picture He spoke
at a meeting of the Catholic Wo
men’s League Nov. 19 in St. Jo
seph’s Academy. Columbus.
In the absence of such a rating
program, said Father Fick, “the
conscientious Catholic laywoman
cannot escape the responsibility of
making herself aware of what is
right and what is wrong in modern
fiction.”
Denying that such qualifying
phrases as “for adults only” and
“objectionable in part” are “spine
less compromises with worldli
nes‘ Father Fick suggested cer
tain fundamental norms by which
the informed Catholic layperson
can come to a correct decision
about any work of modern fiction.
No novel which views sin as the
cause of good deserves admittance
into the Catholic home. This, he
said, is one of the most subtle of
modern heresies: that adultery,
for example, is the cause of growth
in the spiritual life. This, the
speaker pointed out, is an error
of which such writers as Graham
Greene and Bruce Marshall are
never guilty their heroes and
heroines become saints, not be
cause of, but in spite of their sins.
In order to be acceptable for
the Catholic reading public. Father
Fick continued, the novelist need
not necessarily look upon sin as an
offense against God. It is enough
if sin is viewed either as destruc
tive of the social fabric or of the
sinner’s personality. Nor need the
sinner be punished in this world
for his sins. The final summing
up takes place in the life after
death.
Father Fick, who teaches cours
es in contemporary fiction at the
Josephinum College as well as the
College of St. Mary of the Springs,
cited examples of various modern
novels which meet, or fail to meet,
the basic requirements for morally
acceptable fiction.
