ing, misguided zealots danger
ous to the community.”
On the contrary, Bishop Ready
asserted, "legislation can pro
duce a situation in which good
morals are more easily acquired
•nd exercised. If you cannot
make a people clean and healthy
by legislating for the removal of
filth from the public streets, you
can certainly give them a chance,
by such legislation, to be clean
and healthy. Granted that all
reformation of mind and spirit
must come from within, it is still
true that environment and ma
terial circumstance have a pow
erful influence on mind and spir
it."
Calling attention to “an amazing
lethargy among decent people gen
erally with respect to what is
blatantly indecent.” Bishop Ready
told the assembled Knights that
they must “be the couriers of the
Lord sounding the trumpet cry of
danger.” He continued:
“Dull indifference to moral dan
ger is not only astonishing in Chris
tians who profess to be soldiers in
the cause of Christ. It is tragic. No
matter what be the nobility of spir
it and opinion professed, such in
difference becomes calamitous in
the face of common dangers.”
The bishop also took note of
“the seeming indifference of many
legislators, representatives of the
people and hence looked-to defend
ers of the common good, concern
ing the moral climate of the com
munity in which citizens, old and
young, must live.
“We read in our daily press this
past week as the considered sapi
ent statement of a representative
of the people “that you can’t legis
late against sin.” It represents the
dull thought of a man who refused
to face up to his responsibilities.
,Such a representative is concerned
little about the common good.”

of Columbus for their “good work”
in the past year, and encouraged
them “to take up new tasks with
unflagging zeal and determina
tion.” He declared:
“There is much more to your
common association than the help
ful and pleasant hours of recrea
tion in your own club rooms. There
are vitally important religious and
social problems which need your
consideration and attention. The
faithful member hears these prob
lems defined and their solution
suggested at the regular meetings
of his Council. He feels the import
ance of membership in a great as
sociation of men who take on the
character of noble knights to pro
tect and to defend and to promote
the rights of God and His Church
for the peace, happiness and wel
fare of his home and country.
“Membership has its high privi
leges but it carries too the burden
of duty. You join hands with your
brothers in a common worship of
God and in a united purpose to rec
ognize God’s laws in human soci
ety. It would be a derogation of
your true knighthood if you sat
idly by while goodness and decency
and honesty and nobility were cun
ningly or brutally attacked and
needed defense.”
Earlier, Msgr. Roland T. Wine!,
chancellor of the diocese, declared
that “the basic notion of the Cath
olic Church’s religious authority
over men is right now in many
areas of modern society being
smothered by an unprecedented de
fiance of God or it is being confus
ed by a misunderstanding which
could very well be clarified.”
As an example of this defiance,
Msgr. Wine! cited the complete dis
regard of the meaning of the
Church of Christ by Peron in Ar
gentina. by Tito in Yugoslavia, by
the Guatemalan government and
by the Communists in Vietnam.
Then, too, Msgr. Winel con
tinued, "there are misunder
standings which exist among our
own body of citizens. For the
most part, they are not delib
erate. But they are there. The
prevalent attitude on the so
called but certainly erroneously
designated separalion-of-Church
and-State relationships is one
example. And there are legisla
tive programs arising out of
these misunderstandings which
are not designed to fulfill the
common good of all groups with
in the nation."
A plea for state censorship of
movies came from Henry J. Kon
drat of Cleveland upon his elec
tion as state deputy of the Ohio
Knights of Columbus.
In a statement after his elec
tion to head the 60.000 member or
ganization, Kondrat declared:
“The general tone of motion pic
tures is on a rapid decline. They
have been getting more smutty,
more obscene and more objection
able in the months since Ohio’s
censorship laws were knocked out.
“Only through laws providing for
examination and licensing can the
public have any assurance that the
youth of this state will receive a
measure of protection from moral
pollution.”
The delegates also elected four
other state officers and adopted
resolutions calling for an appoint
ed state board of education, strict
observance of Sunday by outlawing
unnecessary business activities and
esjablishment of Good Friday as a
legal holiday.
The officers are Anthony A.
Bosch of Toledo, state secretary
Anthony J. Brueneman jr. of Cin
cinnati, treasurer Leo Stark of
Chillicothe, advocate and Thomas
M. Dowd of Kenton, warden.

Mary, Queen of the Universe

May 31 will be observed In the Catholic world as the Feast of
Mary, Queen of the Universe, a new feast day instituted by Pope
Pius XII in his encyclical letter "Ad Caeli Reginam," October 11,
1954. The artist has depicted *bove his conception of the Queen

dar.
The Pope's request that man
kind be reconsecrated to the Im
maculate Heart of Mary stems
from the commonly accepted ver
sion of the petitions of the Bless
ed Virgin during her 1917 ap
paritions at Fatima, Portugal.
On July 13 of that year she
warned the three children that
“another and worse war will break
out” unless people stop offending
God. She added:
“To forestall this, I shall come
to ask the consecration of Russia
to my Immaculate Heart

years has bean reversed, as re
flected by an increase of 8,786
college students during 1954.
The record postwar decrease of
31,699 occurred in 1951-52. Cur
rent enrollments now total 219,
706, or 138 per cent more Cath
olic college students than ten
years ago—an increase of 127,
280 over the 92,426 in 1945.
The number of full-time pupils
in Catholic elementary and high
schools reflects a record increase
of 302,340 during the past year.
The 1.557 parish and diocesan
high schools report 398.192 pupils,
an increase of 23.093 above 1954
the 842 private high schools with
241,415 show an increase of 13,515
in one year. Pupils in 8.843 parish
elementary schools now number
3,253,608, which is 261,290 or 8%
per cent more than last year while
students in the 542 private elemen
tary schools have increased by
4,442 to a total of 95,685.
The further progress of relig
ious instruction to children un
der released time, in religious
vacation schools and other class*
•s, is evident in the 1955 reports
of 2,104,624 public school chil
dren attending 40,143 special re
ligious classes or schools, which
represent a year's increase of
158,481 pupils and 4,414 classes,
respectively.
Three new institutions bring the
total of Catholic general hospitals
to 793, which treated 9.319,356 pa
tients during 1954, while bed ca
pacities have been increased by
1,623 to present facilities of 125,
558. The number of special hos
pitals is now 134, an increase of
two, accommodating 11,642 patients
in 1,275 more beds and serving
168,736 patients annually. In rela
tion to the Catholic population of
32,575,702. it is evident that the im
pressive total of 9,488,092 patients
treated in Catholic hospitals dur
ing 1954 includes a large number
of persons other than Catholics.
There were 53 new training schools
for nurses reported during 1954
and current enrollments of 35,067
students in the 411 Catholic train
ing schools for nurses, represent
an increase of 2,318 during the

maculate Heart with reference to
Russia, ’’’he Pope made this con
secration in a radio broadcast to
Portugal in connection with the
observance of the silver jubilee
of the Fatima apparitions.
In his apostolic letter to the Rus
sian peoples on July 7,
j953,
the
Pope dedicated Russia to Mary's
heart “in a most special way.” He
said “Just as not many years ago
we consecrated the entire world
to the Immaculate Heart of the Vir
gin Mother of God, so now. in a
most special way, We dedicate and
consecrate all peoples of Russia
to the most powerful protection of
the Virgin Mary ."

crease of nine, caring for 27,147
residents, an increase of 1,923 in a
year.
For the ninth year in succes
sion, tho number of converts en
tering the Catholic Church in
•ach year exceeded 100,000. Dur
ing 1954 adult baptisms number
ed 137,310, an increase of 10,733
over the preceding year. This
figure brings the total conver
sions during the past decade to
1,160,054.
The 1955 Directory lists 208
members of the Hierarchy four
Cardinals. 34 Archbishops and 170
Bishops, the largest number in the
history of the Catholic Church in
this country.
The first issue of a Catholic Di
rectory for the United States was
published in 1817 and subsequent
editions have reflected the steady
growth of the Church.
An increase of 1,519 in the
number of the clergy, brings the
total of ordained priests to 46.970,
the largest ever recorded. There
are now 28.873 diocesan clergy and
18,097 religious community priests.
