Religious School Issues
Ciill For Carefhl Study
WASHINGTON, C. (NC)
The future of church related
schools in the United States de
nends nn full consideration of
three important factors, a George
town University professor declar
ed here.
In an address before the Charles
Carroll Forum, the Rev Daniel E.
Power. SJ. Professor of History
and Director of the Georgetown Ra
dio-TV Forum, cited these factors:
I-egal recognition by the Su
preme Court of the need to per
petuate the religious foundations of
American democracy ‘The Court
must be more responsibe to pa
rental rights" Father Power said,
pointing to the “increasingly large
number of parents who want a
truly American and religious educa.
bion for their children
2) Full discussion ol the charges
that Catholic schools are divisive."
“Proof must be forthcoming that
democratic unity is threatened by
the increasing proportion of chil

made this charge but to date has
not offered any substantiating
facts.*’
3) Consideration of the problem
shared by Protestants, Catholics
and Jews is sustaining their schools
al a time when economic burdens
are heavy. “Catholics, ii particular,
ask their fellow Americans to scrut
inize the claim that schools other
than public schools have a public
purpose and as such have a juridic
ia! right to encouragement.” Fath
er Power said.
“If only one type of school is
permitted by public sentiment or
‘judicial legislation.’ American ed
ucation becomes a dangerous mon
opoly. foreign to our tradition and
as such could divide’ man from
God,” he added.

Father Power suggested that
leaders of public opinion might
“reassess the place that cultural
diversity has in the American way
how un-American is regimentation
in any field, according to our mot
to: ‘E Phiribus Unum’.”
Americans should be vitally con
cerned he said, hat “national
solidarity be not the destroyer of
religious freedom.”
“Finally, in our attempt to edu
cate our young according to Amer,
ican tradition, our leaders should
not lose sight of the warnings of
Washington and Lincoln on the
danger of discouraging religion
and forgetting God,” Father Power
said.

3-Year Old’s
Death Brings
Dad To Faith
WASHINGTON, D. C. (NC)
A tragedy that took the life of his
three-year-old daughter led to the
Korean Marine Corps top comman
der becoming a Catholic.
This was revealed by Major Gen
eral Joachim Shin himself in an
interview here with N.C.W.C. News
Service. The 38-year-old coinman
der was in Washington prior to re
turning to Korea after a round
the-country tour of U.S. Marine
Corps installations.
Together with his wife and three
surviving children, General Shin
was baptized recently by Father
Augustine You in the chapel of
the Maryknoll Sisters’ hospital in
Pusan, with Dr. John Chang, form
er Korean Prime Minister, acting
as sponsor for the family.
Two of the Shins’ three young
sters are boys Ong Mok. 11. and
Ong Inn, 4 The third is their
two-year-old daughter. Soon Ok.
I'he fourth child was three-year-old
Marie, who was fatally injured in
November, 1950. when Ong Mok
accidentally discharged a rifle in
the Shin home. At that time Gen
eral Shin was with his troops in
North Korea.
Marie was enrolled in a Catho
lic kindergarten when the accident
happened Before she died, she
was baptized by a priest, and her
remains were interred in the Cat
olic cemetery at Seoul, where the
Shins then lived.
“It was the fact that our little
girl had been baptized a Catholic
and was buried in a Catholic
cemetery that turned my thoughts
toward the Church,” General Shin
explained “About four months
ago. 1 began to take regular in
st ructions from Father You. Mean
while, my wile and three children
were prepared for baptism by the
Sisters of Perpetual Help.”
Father You is a chaplain with
the rank of lieutenant in the Ko
rean Marine Corps. The Sisters of
Perpetual Help arc a Korean con
gregation founded by the Mary
knoll Sisters in Pyongyang before
the Pacific war.
General Shin, whose native first
name is Hyun Zoon, took the
Christian name of Joachim at
baptism, and his wife the name of
Anna They took ttie names after
the parents of the Blessed Virgin,
in whose honor their dead child
had been named Marie.
General Shin said his period of
preparation for baptism had oc
cupied ten weeks. He declared
however, that "I am still taking in
structions and am anxious to know
a great deal more about the Faith.”
Before becoming a Catholic, the
general had professed no specific
religious belief.
“1 rejoice that my family and I
are now Catholics.” he said I
know that Catholicism is a pre
ctous and holy gift, and I can say it
has given me much consolation in
the loss of a child who was espec
ially dear to me.”
During his stay in Washington,
General Shin, who is a native of
Knnchun, in North Kyong Sang Do
province, was presented with a
ceremonial sword by General Le
muel C. Shepherd. Jr., V S. Marine
Corps commandant, at a ceremony
in Marine Corps headquarters The
sword will be handed in to his suc
cessor when General Shin retires.
General Shin was present also
when another Korean official. Vice
Admiral Sohn Won Yil, South Ko
rean chief of naval operations, laid
a wreath at the Tomb of the In
known Soldier in Arlington Na
tional Cemterv He was attorn
pamed by his aide. Captain Kang
Han Za. who acted as his interpre
ter during his U.S. visit.

As Matters Stand------
Joe Breig Says:*
Mv Prayer For ’53
I am not given to making New
Year’s resolutions, but I do have a
few New Year’s prayers. In fact. I
will offer this article as a kind of
prayer and good
work: and if
you think it’s
not hard work,
then you have
n e ver made
your living by
writing, you
have never
chained your
self to a type
writer, and you
have never used
your will like a
bull whip on your intellect, trying
to lash it into pulling instead of
balking.
At this point, let us pause while
you shed a furtive tear for me.
Then let us get on.
Player No. 1: 1 pray that people
will come to understand what the
saints have told us—that obedience
and patience are greater signs of
holiness than is the raising of the
dead to life and that self-will,
rooted in pride, is the worst en
emy of every individual and of all
mankind. It is the seed of quarrel
lings, bickerings, cantankerous
ness, general all-round no-good
ness, and war. Phooey on self-will.
That is my key prayer, the pray
er upon which my other prayers
will depend. Let that, therefore, be
the only numbered prayer the No.
1 prayer. Let the others be letter
ed.
Prayer (a): I pray that each of
us, in 1953, will develop a sense
of humor which is nothing more
or less than the good sense not to
take ourselves too seriously.
Prayer (b): 1 pray that those peo
ple in Germany who have been ex
communicated for promoting ap
paritions will give their self-will a
good punch in the nose and come
back to the Church where they be
long. They think Our Lady appear
ed to some children in the village
of Heroldsbach. The Church au
thorities say there is no evidence
that she did. All right, then why
not relax? If Our Lady did want
a shrine there, God would get it
for her, wouldn't He? If these peo
ple are so bent on honoring our
Lady, let them remember that the
highest way of honoring her is to
be loyal to the Church, which is
her Son Christ still with us, still
directing us. And if they’ve got to
make pilgrimages, what’s wrong
with going to Lourdes or Fatima
or one of the other shrines where
unquestionably the Virgin did ap
pear? Our Heroldsbach friends are
taking themselves too seriously
they need to turn up the corners
of their mouths and smile.
Prayer (c): I trust that Father
Feeney and his followers in Boston
will also knock their self will right
out of the ring, make their peace
with Archbishop Cushing and the
Holy Office, and stop publishing
sneering, childish attacks on their
fellow-members of the Mystical
Body of Christ. They think that it
is their vocation to crusade for
the proposition that all Protestants,
Jews, Mohammedans, Hindus, Ang
licans, Holy Rollers and No Ice
Baptists are damned. Come, come.
Father Feeney, things can’t be that
bad! I could show you in your own
writings where you said yourself
they weren’t.
Prayer (d): 1 hope that Ameri
cans of Irish descent will stop be
ing mad at poor old England. No
sense in kicking a chap w hen he s
Porhigal Accents
Role of Religion
In All Education
LISBON^ (NC) Religion's
place in education up to the Uni
versity level was a major theme
of the Fourth Congress ot Social
Stud} Weeks held at Braga and
attended by numerous priests and
laymen.
In a message conveying his hies
sing to the gathering. His Holiness
Pope Pius XII recalled that the
Concordat between Portugal and
the Hol} Sec had stipulated that
the Portuguese government base
education on Christian doctrine
and morals, and recognize the
Church's right to teach and con
duct its own schools.
Dr, Feliciano Ramos, professor
in the Braga Lyceum, told the
congress that it was necessary
that spiritual principles be recog
m/ed also in technical education
and training, lest these produce
"fruits of evil."

Japanese Fa cor
Trappistine Nuns
HAKODATE Japan—(NC) The
Trappist ines. strictest order of
nuns in Japan, also has the largest
number of native vocations.
Ol the 1.900 Japanese Sisters,
200 belong to the Trappistine
community, while 1,700 are spread
among 60 other communities in
Japan.
The Trappistine convent here
has drawn 50.000 Japanese visitors
within the past six months. The
coinent is listed among the sights
of the city by the chamber of coin
merce.
This is considered remarkable
because visitors can see only the
chapel and the grille separating
the convent from the chapel. The
nuns observe strict enclosure.
Fat he i Gabriel, a Trappist and
chaplain to the nuns, usually tells
visitors about the life of the Trap
jjists when they visit the convent
chapel.
down. There are bigger bottoms
that need kicking nowadays I’he
biggest is the one in Moscow with
the moustache on the other end.
Prayer (e) 1 pray that England
will be given the good sense to
end the partition of Ireland. Why
not be nice chaps in ’53. what?
Prayer (f): It’s high time for the
Germans, French, etc., to stop
sticking out their tongues at one
another, and give us a United Eu
rope. They've been cutting off
their own noses to spite their faces
for so long that it’s a wonder
they've got any noses left.
Prayer (g): I hope we’ll all stick
by the United Nations and make
it work, even if we've got to move
a lot of machinery around. Makes
a lot more sense than atom bombs.
Prayer (h): I voted for Steven
son (who threw that brick?) but I
pray that folks won devil Eisen
hower the way a lot °F them devil
led Truman. Patience and obedi
ence—that's what the saints say.
Turn up the corners and smile it
through.
Prayer (i): 1 hope Russia will be
converted in 1953. and the perse
cutions will end, and we’ll find
peace.
Prayer (j): 1 hope I’LL be obedi
ent and patient, and I hope the
readers will be as patient with me
in ’53 as they were in ’52. I know
that's asking a lot. but—you know
what the saints say!

bill passed the National Assembly
several weeks ago, also by a large
majority. It is now law.
In the future, university students
will receive aid similar to that
granted last year to students in
Catholic primary and secondary
schools.
The new law brings to an end
a long period of antagonism to

part of the French government. In
