News Senice) NEW YORK An estimated 2.000 ministers of the Angli can Church have come into the Catholic Faith since the con version of England s John Henn’ Cardinal Newman, it has been stated by Monsignor Thomas J. McMahon, spiritual di rector of the St. Paul Guild, an organization dedicated to con vert work which has headquarters here. The Monsignor said it is impossible to number exacth the converts and the ministers of other Protestant religions who have em ,weH what u today vi. bra^d/.a\h?J'CHm,.S,n‘?,,l2 ,daVS Ul of Catholic population* throughout th* world." The Monsignor expressed his of the Colonies. He added, how ever, it is known that 12 convert ministers “haxe adorned the Cath olic Hierarchy” and that many oth ers have become priests. Since the close of the 19th cen tury. Monsignor McMahon said, the Catholic Church has been the sub ject of attack by those who claim it has lost through leakage more than it has gained by conversions. “Tha record remains/' the Monsignor continued, “that from the few hundred of the Colonial days, we have grown into a giant Church of many millions Not all this, by any means, has been brought about through the accre tions of births into Catholic fam ilies or by the great waves of im migration. This great work has been effected by the preaching of the Gospel, in work, more than in word, to our non-Cetholie fellow citizenry, as they have come in tho many hundreds of thousands, ever the yeers, to views in a pamphlet titled “To days Cyrenians” published here by St. Paul Guild, an organization of clergy and laity all over the na tion founded in 1901 for the prin cipal purpose of lending material, temporary help to convert minis ters. Economic Prob I am According to Monsignor McMa hon. lhe principal problem for the Protestant minister considering conversion is economic, “For. the Cross which they clutch is the terribly hard wood of ostra cism on the part of friends and parishioners of yesteryear, of di rect economic necessity imposed on them by their voluntary renun ciation of a life of comparative se curity, of never ceasing humilia tions throughout the rest of their mortal lives.” Monsignor McMahon stated. “All this would be their lot. even though peace of soul and God s choicest graces were to be their priceless possessions for ever” Th* Monsignor recalled that "in 1846, Father Doyl*, a priest of th* Diocese of Southwark in England" mad* an eloquent plea for assistance by th* Church to convert ministers, pointing out also that besides ostracism by former friends and parishioners, many had tha obligation of car ing for large families. The pamphlet explained that the St. Paul Guild functions under the I honorarx piesidency ot His Emi nence Francis Cardinal Spellman. Archbishop of New \oik. In early years, the Guild was known as the National Catholic Converts' League and adopted lhe present name in 1924. Besides its aid io convert ministers the Guild pub lishes a quarterly magazine. The Epistle, and conducts a program of Catholic adult education at Guild House here Monsignor McMahon, who also is president of the Pontifical Mis sion for Palestine and national sec retary of the Catholic Near East Welfare Association, stated “We cannot boast of a true apos tolate to the other sheep, if we do not care for their former shep herds.” He urged greater partici pation “in this apostolate for the blood brothers of Simon of Cy rene.” -.-....... -..... o------------------ Angelus Broadcast Dailv In Nation's Least Catholic City CHARIXITTE.
