tons Of religion. we are apt TO take too
much for granted. We assume that
well-meanng men will, as n matter of

of Il diocese urging advanced lcgsla-
ton when 1t has never taken up the
task OF educating the diocese as n whole
TO any real understanding of the prob
lens that call for Legislative action. Or
to see Il parish priest antagoniZing his
conservative congregation by hastily
rushing into numerous projects Of
doubtful wisdom (and carrying no one
with him). instead Of patiently driving
home elementary truths, line upon line.

that his whole parish will rise up and
declare that this is what they have felt
all along, and isn't it time now to get
busy and do something?
