(NO- While 1951 was Maryknolls period of great est suffering under Red per secution, the society recently nt overseas the largest mission group in its history. This was disclosed here by Bishop Raymond A. Lane, Superior General of Maryknoll, who said the society sent 39 priests and three Brothers to the missions in its 1952 class. The prelate expressed his belief that “there never has heen so many martyrs in so man.) countries as there are now.” Nevertheless, Bishop Lane pre dicted the greatest resurgence of Christianity in history, as a result of the Reds war on the Church in Red China and Korea. Scores of Maryknollers have been victims of Red oppression in these areas, Bishop Lane said. In Nero’s time the Martyrdom was easier—you were thrown to the lions. Now they ruin a man’s mind and still make him live,” he commented. “Death is simple coni pared to the mental torture.” Still at their posts in China are about 18 of the 130 Mary knollers who were stationed in the country before the Korean war. Some have been confined to their mission compounds, some are under house arrest and others are in prison. Three of the 18 are Maryknoll Sisters. Bishop Francis X.

Sheen There ii no __ ..... ._____ record in his lory o a n y persec u o s hating the S W memory of a SBL Off? on the ashes of a Hitler, much less despise their mothers. But the persecution in China is revealing something new: There is a violent, rabid hatred of the Blessed Mother. The Commun ist judges make it a major crime, to belong to the Legion of Mary. Why do these “judges” who know nothing of Christianity rage and storm against any devo tion to Mary the Mother of God? The answer is that the present world struggle is no longer a Civil War between adorers God and slaves of Satan, peculiarity of this struggle is that Satan would direct his hat red against the Woman. Be fore the Incarnation, Scripture describes a “great dragon" who stood fronting the Woman who was in childbirth, ready to swal low up the child as soon as she bore it. After the Incarnation, the dragon is pictured as “in pursuit of the Woman, the boy’s mother.” Note that Satan al tacks the Woman. He tempted the First Eve Io fall from grace now he attacks the Second Eve, Mary, to prevent the birth of her Son in the souls nf men Communism as a political and economic world system is nn more interested in Mary than are the Republicans and the Democrats. But Communism as the Mystical Body of the anti Christ is Satan's enemy in Mary. Hence the attack on Mary by the Chinese Communists is a proof that they are Satanic. of age of cigarettes, a new hat, or a taxi ride just to help kill the old Adam and make you one with Christ in His modern Pas sion. 1 woman.
