God Himself has made: that we

Reckless Driving
Called Sinful
By Archbishop
BOSTON (NC) Reckless
automobile driving is a violation
of divine law as well as human
law. Archbishop Richard J. Cush
ing of Boston told Catholics in a
pastoral letter read in all church
es of the archdiocese.
“We need not be expert statis
ticians to calculate that travel by
automobile causes a far greater
loss of life, at the present time,
than any other single factor,” the
letter said.
“The lew of caution on the
highways is not a new law,"

Fr. Titus Cranny, S.A.
In his concern for souls the Holy Father has designated
the intention of the Apostleship of Prayer for the month of
January, 1957 as “The Conversion of Non-Catholic Chris
tians.” It is eminently fitting to have this intention so listed
during the Chair of Unity Oc
faithful in all parts of the world
join together imploring God that
there may be One Fold and One
Shepherd.
This spiritual objective as
specified by the Holy Father is
less universal than the general
aim of the Octave, but is in com
plete harmony with it and bears
a very special relation
ship to it. The conversion of non
Catholic Christians is a prelimin
ary and necessary step to the ulti
mate goal of bringing all men to
the unity of the Church.
Religious unity does not mean
a kind of tolerance, sympathy, or
universal agreement on matters
of religion—by those who profess
different and opposite beliefs. Re
ligious unity cannot and does not
mean compromise on matters of
doctrine. Nor is unity realized by
the fact that millions call them
selves followers of Christ and
use the name Christian although
they are split into a thousand fac
tions. Nor is our country Chris
tion because for the first time in
history more than 100 million
people are considered as church
going citizens.
When we pray for “The Con
version of Non-Catholic Chris
tians” we pray for a large and in
fluential group. We include the
Protestants of Europe and Amer.

countries. Throughout the world
Protestants constitute about 250
million souls. But our intention
also includes the adherents of
various Orthodox bodies (Syrian,
Russian, Armenian, Greek, etc.)
who number about 180 million
members. Praying for these peo
ples is particularly meaningful
because it embraces so many
souls in Soviet Russia.
If these two great bodies,
these “non -Catholic Chris
tians," were to enter the true
Fold, what an advance the
Church would make all over the
globe. Its membership of 400
million would be doubled, its re
sources for missionary activity
would be trebled, and the per
sonnel in religious and social
work would benefit immeasur
ably.
Father Paul of Graymoor, who
began the United Octave, was
convinced that the Conversion of
these Christian groups would
have to take place first, in large
measure, before the full-scale
conversion of the pagan world
would be realized. For the mul

K of Supreme
Board Protests
Tito Invitation
NEW HAVEN, Conn.—(NC)—
The supreme board of directors
of the Knights of Columbus,
unanflnously adopted a resolu
tion protesting President Eisen
hower’s invitation to Tito to vis
it the United States.
The resolution, passed at the
board's quarterly meeting here
endorsed a protest made on De
cember 19 by Supreme Knight
Luke E. Hart, against the visit.
Sources in Washington say
Tito has already been invited and
that he has accepted the invita
tion. However, there has been no
White House confirmation.
The resolution said Mr. Hart
had “properly and accurately
characterized Tito as the jailer
of Archbishop Stepinac, the per
secutor of religion and the ac
complice of the butchers of Buda
pest.”

Bishop Asks Knights
To Be More Active
Bishop Ready asked the Knights of Columbus in the
area to be more active in the support of their Faith, at the
annual banquet of the State Youth Fund Drive at the Desh
ler Hilton. Sunday.
"You have been chosen to be knights," the Bishop said,
"this carries with it a special
responsibility and dignity."
The Bishop said that the
knights must offer their service
to the Church because of this
special trust which has been giv
en them. “You must be leaders.”
he said. "The Church depends on
you today as it did the knights of
the crusades.”
The Bishop thanked the repre
sentatives from the 21 Diocesan
councils for the annual gift and
armpunced that this year’s check
would assist in the purchase of
additional property for the New-
man Center at Ohio State Uni
versity.
In closing the meeting Henry
J. Kondrat. State Deputy for the
K. of C., who presented the an
nual check, asked the knights to
return to their councils and to
pass resolutions demanding that
the invitation to “That murderer
(Tito) of so many religious be
withdrawn.”

The Pope observed that during
his most receptive years, the child

From Administration on Visit
WASHINGTON INC) Marshal Tito, communist
dictator of Yugoslavia, has been invited to pay an official
visit to the United States and has, accepted.
Only the details connected with the visit remain to be
worked out.
Such details include when Tito would come here and
what cities hr would visit during

There has been no official an

but they are accepted in authori

how small each of these things
may seem, will leave their mark
upon the fundamental attitude
which the child will retain
through his whole life.
“It is necessary to point out,”
he continued, “that present social
conditions are often the source of
serious difficulties for parents.
They often make it impossible for
them to give their children the
necessary things in the material
and moral orders. We are think
ing now of the families of emi
grants and refugees, of the fami
lies of fathers who are unemploy
ed or receive insufficient salaries,
mother must be absent in order
to work. We are thinking of the
families living in lodgings which
are too small, unhealthy and
without privacy.”
The Pontiff deplored the “in
creasing invasion of the home by
communications media” which al
though useful to adults, may be
harmful to children.
The Holy Father pointed out
that the duty to protect children
falls not only on parents, but on
the whole Christian community.
He urged every man and woman
to examine his conscience as to

Senator Says
He Will Shun
Tito Functions
WASHINGTON—(NC)— “With
out questioning the motives of
President Eisenhower or Secre
tary Dulles (in extending the in
vitation) I can only say for myself
that I will not attend any meet
ing of Congress which Marshal
Tito addresses, nor will I be at
any social functions which the
Marshal attends.”
This was the comment of Sen
ator Paul H. Douglas of Illinois
when asked about the projected
visit of Marshal Tito to this coun
try.
“I would not wish to give the
impression that I have even tacit
sympathy with Marshal Tito,”
Senator Douglas added, “and for
this reason I will not attend any
functions at which he is present."
This served to recall that Rep
lesentative Alvin E. O'Konski of
Wisconsin told Secretary Dulles
that “such an invitation would
be disastrous.” “I feel so strong
ly on this matter,” the Congress
man added, “that I for one don't
want to be a party to such
treachery and deception to the
people of our nation. Should the
invitation be tendered, I have no
resource left but to seriously
consider resigning my post.”
