Catholics In China Pinioned
To Cross By Communists
The Cross of
Calvary is on a
hill no one
escapes seeing
it no one
avoids its im
part. Half the
World is on it,
the other half
of the world is
under it. Those
who are on
the Cross are
either pinioned there by the en
emies of Christ, or else they at
tach themselves to it by sacri
fice and self-denial.
Our Catholics in China are
nailed to it by the Reds those
who deny themselves a luxury,
•end in their first raise in sal
ary, or make a thanksgiving of
fer to spread the faith in the Mis
sions. send in their old gold or
old diamonds, are the self-cruci
fied who nail themselves to the
Cross.
May this one incident inspire
you to love our crucified Sav
iour unto a greater sacrifice for
the Holy Father’s Missions. One
priest we know of in China goes
on sick calls disguised as a farm-

er, carrying manure on his back.
Manure on his back, the Blessed
Sacrament on his breast and the
Holy Oils in his pocket. This is
China in miniature. Francis
Thompson asked of our crucified
Lord: "Must all thy fields be
dunged with rotten death? Must
the fertilizer be spread upon the
fields before they can bring
forth the seed? Is death the con
dition of life? Must the clouds
die in showers to bud the green
ery?”
The Communists would never
recognize that he who carried
death on his back carries life on
his breast, as the Reds at the
Crucifixion did not believe that
He who carried the Cross was
the Son of God. The Christ who
was born in a stable through this
Chinese priest is back again in
the environment of animals
where men drove Him because
there was no room in the inn.
The manure is Communism—
the fertilizer that is thrown upon
the world in its winter of dis
content to prepare for the spring
time of a newer life the Eu
charist on his breast is the Christ
that is the life toward which
even the Reds aspire without ev
en knowing it. The Holy Oils is
the preparation for that death
that is the prelude to life.
That is what others are do

Armed Forces Seen
This point is brought out in the annual report on the ac
tivities of the,Military Ordinariate of the United States, which
embraces all Catholics in the
Armed Forces. The report is sign
ed by His Eminence Francis Cardi
nal Spellman. Military Vicar Bish
op William R. Arnold, Military
Delegate, and Bishop James H.
Griffiths, Chancellor of the Mili
tary Ordinariate.
“Inasmuch as it is generally con
ceded that Catholics constitute
about 31% of the Armed Forces,”
the report said, "this would mean
that each year the Catholic Church
in this country has the obligation
of providing for the spiritual wel
fare of 1,147,000 military person
nel. Note well that this does not
signify the total priestly and pas
toral obligation of the Catholic
chaplain for in this country and
all over the world Catholic chap
lains must provide spiritually for
the wives and families of thou
sands of officers and enlisted men.
This sends the figure up to more
than 3,000,000 persons.
Spiritual Guide*
“If for the moment we leave
aside the dependents and speculate
on the number of 1,147,000 men
and women of military personnel,
it would mean that nearly 11.500,
000 Catholics of the United States
would be affected in the next
decade. Eleven million persons
will be exposed to the dangers of
military life and could well change
the face of Catholicism in the
United States, if they are spiritu
ally neglected or at least not ade
quately provided with spiritual
guides.”
The report showed that there
were 999 Catholic chaplains in the
Army, Navy, Air Force and Mer
chant Marine in 1952, as compared
with 3.080 Catholic chaplains who
were in the armed services in 1945.
at the close of World War II. And
yet. the 999 Catholic chaplains re
ported 20.172 baptisms in 1952, as
compared with the 19,795 baptisms
which nearly three times as many
chaplains were able to report in
1945. and as compared with 14,090
baptisms which 2,517 Catholic
chaplains were able to report in
1943.
"From early morn until late at
night,” the report continued,
