Bishop Sheen’s
TV Popularity
NEW YORK (NC) “I have
just received your letter in which
you tel) me that your daugh
ter is suffering from an incur
able disease and that death is hov
ering over her.
”... For your consolation I bid
you go to another Mother, who
when her Child was 40 days old
was told that He was marked for
death.'’
This advice from Auxiliary Bish
op Fulton J. Sheen of New’ York
to grief-stricken parents is in ans
wer to one of the thousands of let
ters received weekly as a result of
the prelates television talks.
Samples of the Bishop's replies
and a description of how such mail
is handled appears in the Jan. 24
edition of Collier s magazine in an
article entitled “Bishop Sheen
Answers His Fan Mail” by Howard
Cohn.
To handle the 8.000 letters a
week in response to his TV pro
gram. Bishop Sheen uses a clerical
staff of 35 people who sort and
examine the letters, the story re
ports. This staff acknowldgos
compliments and answers routine
requests for information.
Letters asking for advice on in
dividual problems are handled by
Msgr. Charles McBride or Father
Joseph Tennant of the Society for
the Propagation ol the Faith. The
“most significant and urgent quer
ies are passed to the Bishop lor
his personal response.
In a series of color photos Col
lier s .hows Bishop Sheen concen
trating on the daily mail, smiling
over amusing passages and ponder
ing serious problems he must ans
wer and a lull page pictures the
Bishop relaxing with two moppet
guests.
Success of the Bishops weekly
"Life Is Worth Living” series on
the Du Mont TV network, has
amazed manv television executiv
es, the article states.
"When Bishop Sheen first decid
ed to go on television, many of
the industry's experts predicted a
quick end to the program.
"The Bishop's subsequent re
sounding success may have stump
nl the experts but millions ,i d»
voted viewers could explain that
there never has been a substitute
for faith”

Feels Sorry For Children .... Donates Profits
I
Local Interest In
Time Magazine
A Columbus restaurant owner, who was shunted from
house to house when he was a child, recently gave a sizeable
cash gift to St. Vincent Orphanage, 1490 E. Main St., because
he “feels sorry for homeless children.”
The present came from George Ricciardi, who donated a
day's proceeds from his Dinette
restaurant, 1462 Grandview-av.
Mr. Ricciardi locked the drawer
o! the cash register on Dec. 22. and
next to it he put a box and sign,
reading:
"I furnish the food. You furnish
the donations for St. Vincent s Or
phanage.”
Proceeds, which were higher
than usual for a day, amounted to
$243 64 He paid his six employes
out ol his own pocket, and gave
the entire amount to the institu-
tion.
"I'm certainly not a rich man,”
Ricciardi said this week, "but the
gift didn’t hurt me a bit There are
i* lot of businessmen who could
easily do the same thing.”
His pastor, ’he Rev. Albert E.
Culliton of St. Christopher’s
Church, sent the money to Bishop
Ready, who in turn gave the pres

is quite proud of the note of ap
preciation he received from the

similar Donation Day at his restaur
ant and gave the proceeds to the
Charity Newsies He also has given
sums of money to many Catholic or
ganizations in the diocese, hut pre

“I gave the monev to the orphan

“There is no substitute

Detroit Writer
Persecution of
DETROIT —(NO— "There is
no religious freedom in Tito's
Yugoslavia. There is nothing
there that would even resemble
the religious freedom found in the
United States or Canada.”
This assertion was made by a
woman who visited Yugoslavia last
spring and who receives letters
regularly from friends and rela
tives in that country.
Mrs. Louis Krek. writing in The
Detroit News. took issue with
statements made in an earlier
letter by W. A. Shannon of Lon
don. Ont. Mr. Shannon said he
visited Yugoslavia in July, 1951,
and found “many churches, mostly
Roman Catholic open every
where I went.” Mr. Shannon said
he could not understand the recent
statement of His Emminence Aloy
sius Cardinal Stepinac. Archbishop
of Zagreb, that religious freedtm
in Yugoslavia is zero.
Mrs. Krek said she and her
husband are natives of Croatia, a
part of Yugoslavia, and they visited
Yugoslavia for six weeks starting
last April. She said they visited
relatives and friends, talked freely
with many professional persons
and peasants. She detailed as
follows "what we saw and learned”:
Hundreds of priests, Catholic
and Orthodox, are in jail or con
centration camps. There isn’t a
single convent. All Sisters—the
Krek's niece among them—have
been forbidden to wear religious
garb and told to go home to their
relatives. Most convents have
been taken over by the govern
ment.
"The pastor of our native town s
parish said he received strict
orders not to teach religion except
the Sunday sermon He may not
conduct catechism classes in or
after school or in church. The
priest from the neighboring town
was in jail for ‘tax evasion.’
No priest, parish or church gets
subsidies or government grants.
Priests are compelled by law to
report donations for Masses, fun
erals. weddings and the like. “On
a trumped up charge our pastor
was fined 260.000 dien (over
$1,000) and was told that if he
did not pay it. he would be force
to leave the parish and might be
sentenced to prison. The charge’
was that he failed to report a
donation for a service
In many sections of Yugoslavia
church property is taxed like
theaters. Failure to meet the
taxes means confiscation of pro
perty. There are no Catholic
radio programs. Yugoslavia hasn
a single Catholic daily paper, but
a few weeklies and monthlies
which are limited in circulation.
TJiere are no chaplains in the
armv. "We did not hear of oi
sec any seminaries and most mon
astic houses have heen closed and
their property confiscated On
Sundays, school children are urged
to attend picnics, parties and out
ings instead of going to Mass.
No priest or Sister is allowed
to enter a government school to
teach religion. Teachers are for
bidden to mention God in school.
(Mrs. Krek said her cousin is a
teacher in one such school).
Mrs. Krek said she and her
husband spoke with hundreds of
persons during their visit and fail-
Pope Approves
Closed Shop,
Priest Asserts
WASHINGTON, D. C.—(NO
Claims that the Christmas mes
sage of His Holiness of Pope Pius
XII hit at the "closed shop in
American trade unions “may well
have distorted the intent of the
Holy Father." a priest has stated.
“It does not seem reasonable to
assume that the Holy Father, in
attacking current evils, would
have in mind a custom which
American theologians have found
morally acceptable.' Father John
Cronin. S.S of the Social Ac
tion Department. N.C.W.C., said.
Father Cronins statement was
answer to a syndicated column by
David Lawrence which interpreted
the Potiff's pronouncement as “hit
ting directly at what is known as
the closed shop' in American trade
unionism” (In a subsequent syn
dicated column Westbrook Pegler
also interpreted the Popes words
as being in opposition to the “clos
ed shop.")
The writer, according to Father
Cronin, overlooked the background
of current problems which must
be used in understanding the pa
pal message
Pointing to the Pope's state
ment that “access to employment
or places of labor is made to de
pend on registration in certain
parties or in organizations which
deal with the distrbution of em
ployment,” Father Cronin said:
“The Holy Father wrote against
a background of current problems.
Thus, he mentions party member
ship as a condition of employ
ment.”
