Cardinal Explains
Church Attitude
On Works Of Art
LONDON (NC) “Sacred
art is a means to an end and not
an end in itself,” His Eminence
Bernard Cardinal Griffin reminded
as he opened an exhibition of the
Guild of Catholic Artists and
Craftsmen here.
“It has always been the role of
the Church to encourage true art
and to watch over the interests,
not merely of artists but also of
the faithful for whom the product
of the artists is a means of draw
ing nearer to God,” The Archbish
op of Westminster declared “The
Church has always been the patron
nf the arts and certain very clear
duties have been laid down for
the Bishops.”
The Cardinal recalled that the
main purpose of the recent de
cree of the Sacred Congregation of
the Hol Office on sacred art was
to recapitulate the traditional
teaching of the Church and the
provisions of Canon Law.
While being conservative, the
Church does not try to frustrate
the creative instincts of artits, the
Cardinal said.
“Many styles o/ architecture are
now used for ecclesiastical build
ing which conform to present-day
standards and requirements but
which would not have been the
work of artists and architects in
centuries past,” he stated.
Over 70 selected works by liv
ing Catholic artists and craftsmen
ar? being featured during the
monthlong exhibition at the Royal
Institute of British Architects.
They include paintings. Sculptures
and the works of silversmiths.

Of DP Camps
CLEVELAND CMC) Present
conditions among the millions of
refugees, expellees and fugitives
from communist persecution in
Germany are as bad as immediate
ly after World War IL Msgr. Ed
ward E. Swanstrom. director of
War Relief Services National
Catholic Welfare Conference, has
declared Msgr. Swanstrom is now
visiting relief centers in Europe.
‘It is impossible to describe the
true dimensions and hopelessness
nf the situation,” the Monsignor
said in a message read to the 4.000
delegates attending the conven
tions of the National Conference of
Catholic Chanties, the Society nf
St. Vincent de Paul and the Apos
tieship of the See here. The pre
late asserted:
“I have just completed visits to’
refugee camps Berlin. Vienna.
Salzburg, Munich. Nuremberg and
Giessen, and was shocked by the
steadily worsening conditions. I
was amazed at th? constant flow of
new refugees from the Soviet
zones, where persecutions increase
daily.
“Berlin reminds me of the dis
placed persons camps I saw right
after the end of the war. I visited
an abandoned airplane factory in
Berlin and was astounded at the
need for caring for these unfortu
nates who, at the risk of their
lives, escaped to Berlin and are
hoping to move into the western
zones of Germany.
“I saw 2,000 of 15,000 men,
women and children who sought
haven in Berlin just. this past
month—saw them actually sleep
ing on piles of straw on a cold,
stone floor. 1 .story! at lhe recep
tion center watching 500 more of
these refugees being added.
“You can well imagine the prob
1cm these conditions pose, in view
of the presence already of some
9,000.000 expellees, another 1,000,
000 escapees and 250,000 refugees
in Germany when the Internation
al Refugees Organization closed
down its operations early this
year.
Urges Continued U. S. Aid
“It was my hope that with the
outpouring of United States char
ity to these people over the years,
there would be some evidence of a
decrease in the need of assistance
I cannot overemphasize the situa
lion resulting among these refu
gees from living long years in ref
ugee camps. The local welfare
agencies cannot possibly cope with
the problem without continued
American assistance.
“Even more tragic is the hope
lessness of so many of these peo
ple from whom immigration oppor
tunities to the United States, Can
ada and Australia have been cut
off. When the U.S. Displaced Per
sons program ended, it destroyed
the last ray of hope and resulted
in widespread despair.
“1 now am convinced that more
than ever United States leadership
through special emergency legis
lation is imperative and 1 beg you
to appeal to th? assembled leaders
and participants in your confer
ence to do all in their power to
bring this about. 1 can think ot
no more important contribution at
this time not only for the weliar?
of refugees, but lor the peace and
security of the whole world.”

Differences In
(Continued from Page 1)
acter of books which Palestine was
prepared to reject. And this is
just what the Dispersion did The
seven books mentioned above form
part of the so-called Septuagint, a
translation of the Old Testament
into Greek which was begun about
the middle of the third century
B.C. and which very quickly be
came the Bible of extra Palestinian
Judaism. In the Septuagint. it is
important to note, the seven are
not a kind nf appendix or after
thought they are interspersed
among th? others with no hint that
they were considered to he of a
different, non inspired character.
Some Definition*
Judaism did in the end get
around to defining the canon
to declaring that thrs? hooks, and
these alone have God as their au
thor. This was done by the Synod
of .lamnia which was held about 90.
100 A D. On this occasion, the sev
en bonks were excluded from the
list of sacred writings. But in the
meantime something had happened
which voided the decision of all
authority. Chiist had come and es
tablished his Church the Church
had supplanted the synagogue and
God’s voice was no longer heard
in the responses of the Rabbis.
Hence it was from Christ and his
Church, and not from the Synago
gue. that Christians were to learn
what was Scripture
And what did Our Lord and flic
Apostles answer to the question.'
There was no explicit statement,
since at the time none was called
for. But the Apostolic teaching
was dear from the fact that the
Bible of the early Church was the
Greek Septuagint. not the Hebrew
Scriptures This is absolutely in
controvertible. Bv far the great
majority of the Old Testament quo
tai ions found in the New follow
the Septuagint rather than the He
brew I'he few exceptions are re
stneted almost entirely to the Gos
pel according to St Matthew which
constitutes a special case which
we cannot enter into here
Now it will be remembered that
in the Septuagint the seven books
are so intermingled with the nlh
ers that there is not the slightest
question ot their scriptural charac
ter If. however. Christ or his
Apostles had taught that they were
not scripture but merely pious
reading it would have been th?
duty of the Church to warn the
faithful against falling into a fate
ful error She would have had tn
say: “Re nn your guard her?. Gene

Undeniable Allusions
Bur of the existence of such a
warning there is not the slightest
shred of evidence. Quite the con
trary. While the New Testament
contains no explicit quotations
from these books (neither does it
quote all lhe others) there are un
deniable allusions especially to
Wisdom and Ecclesiasticus. And
th? Fathers and ecclesiastical writ
ers of the first and second cen
tunes quote all of them as scrip
ture In short, either the Church
led the faithful into error, or the
seven books are sacred and inspir
ed.
It is true that in laler centuries,
a voice is raiseed here and there
in protest against the acceptance
of the seven Not the least was
that of St. Jerome, who in this
matter was too much impressed by
his Jewish teachers, but even this
saint had his doubts and hesita
tions as the interested reader can
see in the essay “St. Jerome and
the Canon” tn he found in the re
cently-published .4 Monument to
St. Jerome. The Church did not al-

low herself to be disturbed in her
teaching by isolated private op
inions to the contrary.
The question became actual
again at the time of lhe Reforma
tion when the Reformers, after
considerable backing and filling,
finally decided to exclude the
books from their Bibles, and Pro
testantism has since followed suit.
The reason for doing so must in
the last analysis be that they were
rejected by the Jewish doctors in
the first century after Christ But
then the question must he faced
who gives us our Bible, Chrjft
or the Synagogue?

Cardinal Stresses Need
Of Europe’s Unification
STRASBOURG. France (Radio.
N(’)—The Dean of the Sacred Col
lege of Cardinals has reminded
Europe that the time is short and
that it must act in order to gain
strength through unity.
His Eminence Eugene Cardinal
Tisserant. French born Secretary of
the Sacred Oriental .Congregation,
voiced this reminder in a radio ad
dress which affirmed the interest
of the Holy Father in the various
moves toward European unity.
The Cardinal came here to attend
the opening session of the Council
of Europe and the formation of a
constitutional convention to study
plans for a European federation.
The Cardinal’s address came in
the wake of a discourse by His
Holiness Pope Pius XII who called
on Europe to let bygones be by
gones and urged Catholics to help
create the proper climate for gen
uine European unification.
Today's Fears
“The fear that today‘grips so
many hearts.” the Cardinal said,
“arises from the difficulties which
our world meets in attempting to
bring about a stable balance be
tween the great social forces and
to organize an economic system of
ever widening boundaries which
tie all continents into a closer sol
idarity with every passing day
“If the Pontiff has voiced his in
terest in this new session of the
Council of Europe, it is because
time presses. Europe must act. Eu
rope must realize the importance
of the hour. Without closer cohes
ion the efforts of European coun
tries are in danger of remaining
fruitless. United, they are still to
be reckoned with. It is not only
yesterday that union has created
strength.”
Echoing the Holy Father’s
thoughts, the Cardinal then point
ed out that what is at stake is not
merely a material union. Customs
pacts and economic agreements
are of immense practical and per
sonal importance, he said, and no
body realizes this better than the
minister who is connected with
steel-coal agreement.” This was a
reference to Robert Schuman,
French Catholic Foreign Minister,
who conceived the idea of a Euro
pean six nation coal and steel com
nninity.
Freeing Men
"Religious faith.” Cardinal Tiss
erant continued, “does not impair
the proper evaluation of conditions
which can render man’s life easier
and happier. On the contr j, re
ligious faith, by training man to
judge all goods according to a
fuller scale of values, frees man
from that over-eagerless in looking
for immediate results which is the
cause of so much unbridled com
petition and the ensuing conflicts
Following his stay is Strasbourg,
Cardinal Tisserant went to Paris
w here he was decorated by Presi
dent Vin-ent Auriol with the in
signia of a Grand Officer of the
French legion of Honor. Prime
Minister Antoine Pinay, Foreign
^Sinister Robert Schuman and
Count Vladimir d’Orme.^on.
French Ambassador to the Holy
See. attended the ceremony.
