Italian Cardinal Blasts
Moral Re-Armament’s
Claims, Authority’
Says Buchmanites Deviate From Faith Sees Danger
To Noii-Catholics As Well As Catholics
MILAN, Italy (Radio. NC)
The “Moral Re-Armament’’ move
ment was condemned by His Emi
nence Ildefonso Cardinal Schuster,
Archbishop of Milan, as “hetero
dox.” a “thing different from the
Catholic faith” and as dangerous
for non-Catholics as for Catholics.
In a statement published in the
archdiocesan daily, L’ltalia, the
Cardinal said that despite his warn
ing a year ago the movement con
tinues to propagate itself in his
archdiocese. He added that it even
receives the financial support of
some “generous hearts” here.
The Objections
Cardinal Schuster listed these
objections to Moral Re-Armament:
“The movement follows a Protest
ant system because, by lightly by
passing the Catholic Church, the
only one charged by Christ with
transmitting to souls the treasures
Block Georgian’s
Move To Ban U.S.
Envoy To Vatican
WASHINGTON—(NCWC) The
Senate Appropriations committee,
Tuesday, knocked out the 1953
State Department Budget Bill an
amendment inserted by the House
of Representatives which would
have barred the establishment of
any regular U.S. diplomatic mis
sion of the State of Vatican City.
A clause inserted while the bill
was before the House Appropria
tions Committee last March pro
hibited the State Department from
using any of its funds to establish
any foreign service post or mission
exclusive of regular consular posts
in any state or country before the
Senate confirms the first chief- of
mission or other diplomatic repre
sentatives to such countries.
Congressman Preston of Georgia,
author of the amendment, said it
was designed to prevent money
being spent on the establishment
of a mission to the Vatican City.

Easter Vigil To Be Theme
Of Ohio Liturgical Parley
CLEVELAND (NC)—The new
Easter Vigil services recently au
thorized by the Holy See will be
the theme of the 13th annual Litur
gical Week here August 18 to 21.

Louis is president of the Liturgical
Conference, which sponsors the
annual meeting.
Holiness Hour On WBNS
To Wind Up 19-Week
Run To Resume In Fall
One of the most popular broad
casts ever to be aired in Columbus
will terminate a 19-week run on
station WBNS next Sunday after
noon. and suspend for the sum
mer, to be renewed in the fall.
This is the “Hour of Holiness”,
a drama and music program based
on the lives of the saints, which
won such reception that requests
for copies of the scripts have come
in from communities in eight states
from New York to California.
In addition, at least one woman
listener, a non-Catholic, was
drawn toward the Faith. She has
made inquiries about instruction,
according to the Rev. George Ful
cher, S.T.D., assistant pastor of St.
Joseph’s Cathedral, and ecclesias
tical advisor to the program.
Next Sunday’s broadcast, based
on the life of St. Paul, apostle to
the Gentiles, will start at 2:30 p.m.
and run for the half-hour. Starting
last Feb. 24, the lives of 17 other
saints have been presented in sim
ilar fashion. Originally scheduled
at 10 a. m., the program was
switched to the 2:30 p. m. hour
about a month ago.
They ff'ere Human
The programs have been under
the general supervision of the
Right Rev. Msgr. Roland T. Winel,
chancellor of the Diocese, who was
also the featured speaker on the
introductory program. Arrange
ments for the series were made
with the cooperation of Mr. Geer
Parkinson, program director of
WBNS.
The scripts, which were written
by Miss Mary Martha Sliter of
Christ the King Parish and well
known radio and magazine writer,
are based on the theme “Sainthood
for Moderns.”
The programs present the saints
as they were, as men and women
of the Redemption, it would direct
ly place souls in immediate contact
with God and His grace.
“This is contrary to the Divine
arrangement and the Gospel. In
the present order one cannot ar
rive at the Father, except through
Christ. No one reaches Christ, ex
cept through His Church.”
Moral Re-Armament is “danger
ous for- non-Catholics,” the Cardi
nal added: “It offers them a re
ligious form which is cut in half
and subjective, a morality without
dogmas, without a principle of au
thority, without a supremely re
vealed faith, sheep without a shep
herd and outside the legitimate
sheepfold of Christ. In a word, it
offers a religiousness which is arbi
trary and therefore laden with er
rors.
Danger For Catholics
“The movement is particularly
dangerous for Catholics because
Jesus Christ sent His Spirit, the
Paraclete, upon His Church ‘to
teach it all truth.- But the members
of Moral Re-Armament seek it in
stead at Caux Moral Re-Armament
general headquarters in Switzer
land where they find a subjective
pietism of the authentic Protestant
stamp.”
Cardinal Schuster quoted Dante
to offer guidance to Christians who
“desire an authentic re armament
based on Catholic dogma and not
subjective sentiment.” He said:
“You have the Old and New Testa
ment and the shepherd of the
Church who guides you. Let this
be enough for you and your salva
tion.”

Mass Leagues
Condemned Bv
Bishop Ready
Scores Commercialization
Of The Holy Sacrifice
Lays Down Three Norins
In a letter sent to the priests of
the Diocese last week, Bishop
Ready condemned the current
abuses which have sprung up in
the country during recent years
regarding the solicitation of funds
by certain groups with the promise
of remembrances in a great num
ber of Masses.
4
w
I1B
N
S
Outlining the nature of such
appeals, the Bishop said that
“groups of Religious ?nd Religious
Institutions have set up so-called
Mass Associations. Mass Leagues,
Purgatorial Societies, in which they
propose to enroll individuals and
family groups on the payment of a
fixed monetary contribution, rang
ing from five to twenty-five dollars
for individuals, and up to one hun
dred dollars for family groups, and
promise daily and perpetual re
membrances in a large number of
Masses.”
Shocking Violation
Such obvious commercialization
of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass
is a shocking violation of the spirit
of Church law, the Bishop contin
ued, noting that “for a given sum,
not books, magazines or patent
medicines are offered, but the spir
itual benefits of the Holy Sacrifice
of the Mass.”
The advertising programs used
by the various bodies engaged in
these particular solicitations of
funds is of a shocking and highly
offensive nature. It is the practice
of these organizations to play upon
the sensibilities of those who have
lately lost a member of their fam
ily and exploit their very natural
grief.
It is the inhuman practice of
these organizations to imply or in
sinuate that the “bereaved will be
failing in the remembrance of their
deceased, if they do not make a
contribution for the enrollment of
the deceased in some such Associ
ation,” it was pointed out.
In consequence of these flagrant

erns of their own times, subject
to the stresses and strains and
temptations of men and women of
all times. “They are based on the
theory,” Miss Sliter said, “that any
one can be a saint, if he conquers
temptation and cooperates with
grace, as did the saints, who were,
to begin, just ordinary men and
women like everyone else.”
Each broadcast is based on the
life of the saint whose feast day
comes during the ensuing week. St.
John the Baptist was the subject of
last Sunday’s broadcast next Sun

and therefore all too human, mod- life of St. Paul. (Continued on Page 2)

phanage, 1490 E. Main St.
The day’s complete program was
announced this week by Rev. Wil
liam E. Kappes, Diocesan Director
of Charities and Hospitals and gen
eral picnic chairman.
To Give Prizes
Activities will get underway at
11 a.m. and continue until 11 p.m.

week trip for two to Bermuda and
an all-expense trip for two to a trio
of ’52 World Series games.
The dinner will be served begin
ning at 4 p.m. Fr. Kappes pointed
out that the $1 charge for adults

direction of Mother Mary Ida, the
orphanage is home to an average
enrollment of 90 boys and girls

because one of the parents is de
ceased or ill, or the parents are
separated.
Needs Cited
We’re trying to brighten up the
orphanage and make it as home
like as possible,” Fr. Kappes said,
adding that playground equipment,
play room furniture .and dining
room tables and chairs are some
of the things the children need.

The Sacred Priesthood
It is the priest’s task to
clear away from men’s mmds
the mass of prejudices and
misunderstandings which hos
tile adversaries have piled up

the truth, and the priest should
be able to point it out with se

still hesitating, distressed by
doubts, and the priest should
inspire courage and trust, and
guide them with calm security
to the safe port of faith, faith
accepted by both head and
heart error makes its on
slaughts, arrogant and persist
ent, and the priest should know
how to meet them with a de
fense vigorous and active yet
solid and unruffled.

“IT
ork Well"
“If the Catholic Press does its
work well, we can look forward to
the brightest period of Christian
civilization in the history of th®
world,” Cardinal Stritch declared.
Emphasizing that the Catholic
press must be “up to date,” Cardi
nal Stritch added, “with all the
constructive forces of Catholic
truth it must live in its own age
and it must seek to integrate and
harmonize and make intelligible
our age in the light of Catholic
truth. With the church, its main
concern will be the winning of
souls for Christ.”
Pointing out that part of the
work must be based on the social
life and institutions, the Cardinal
said, “it is not only concerned with
exposing the futility of systems
which have brought about the ca
tastrophes of our times, but also it
woiks and labors to give men that
force which will enable them to
repair the rents in their social
fabric and to make it more re
splendent than it has ever been in
the past.”
