FilipinOs Protest
Bigoted Harangues
OF Religious Sect

MANILA-NC)-Five thousand
residents of the town of Santa
Barbara, noiIo, held an indignation
meeting to protest against the
daily harangues of anti-Catholic
doubIe-talk" by speakers at ma
tionsl convention of Jeh0vah's
Witnesses, who eonyerged on the
town.
The Witnesses of Jehovah had
been meeting several days when
the Catholics met to voice their in
dignation. Representatives of the
Witnesses appealed to the Governor
of the province on the plea of relig-
ious tolerance Representatives of
the Catholic residents replied that
no intolerance had been shown,
nor would any be shown, but they
demanded that the Witnesses of
Jehovah recognize the Catholic
faith of the people of the town and
cease their attacks.
The mayor of Santa Barbara re-
voked the permit for the conven-
tion and requested the Witnesses
to move a mile out OF town in order
TO preserve the peace.

Italian Bishop has been in chains
in Red China since the end of Feb
ruary.
News of the detention of Bishop
Alfonso Ferroni, O.F.M., of Lao

revealed. He is now kept in one
room under guard by Red soldiers,
they related.
A Chinese priest, the Rev. An
thony Shen, was killed by the Reds

cuse his superiors, the expelled
missionaries said. All the priests
now in the diocese are either in
jail or under house arrest, they
added.

his hands and feet and beaten TO
death, the priests related. Through
out his ordeal he refused to &C

had been ordered by the Reds.
Bishop Ferroni is in poor health.

L. S. Asked To
Lead World
In Christianity
Australian Cardinal Gilroy
Stresses Role OF Nation
At Special Convocation

NOTRE DAME, Ind.-(NC)-His
Eminence Norman Cardinal Gilroy,
Archbishop of Sydney, Australia,
declared here that Americas lead
ership in the world must be dis
played also in "the application Of
Christian principles"
The Cardinal spoke at special
convocation at the University of
Notre Dame at which he was
awarded an honorary doctorate of
laws. The citation accompanying
the degree stressed Cardinal Gil
roy's deep and kindly concern for
the poor and afflicted and his un-
firing efforts for the growth of
the Catholic Church in Australia.
Responding to the presentation,
Cardinal Gilroy emphasized the
"great responsibility of the United
States in the family of nations, a
responsibility greater today than
ever"
1.-THE United States" the Card
inal said. sis not merely member
of the family of nations, but its
leaders. This leadership is appar-
ent in the fields of industry and
business. But this leadership must
prevail in the application Of Chris
tian principles as we'll"
Cardinal Gilroy, who was on his
way back to Australia from the re-
cent international Eucharistic Con.
gress at Barcelona, Spain, went on
to express his encouragement over
what he had seen of the life and
activity of the Catholic Church in
America. He said:
81 have seen the Church in act
ion. and | depart full of confidence
that the glories of the future will
eclipse those of the past. The
Church can-and must-help the
United States to a fuller apprecia
ton and adoption of those Chris
tian principles which will enable
her 20 fulfill her God-given mission
! in the modern world"
Presiding at the special convoca
ton, which was held in Sacred
Heart Church on the campus in thu
presence of 800 summer schoo
students and of the University fac
ulty. were the very Rev. Theodore

Lack OF Latin America Clergy
Brings Plea For Volunteers

ROME - NC) -- One of the
Church's most critical needs to-
day is for volunteer prieste from
other countries to make up for the
scarcity of priests in Latin Amer
lea, a series of articles in OSserUd-
tore Romano, Vatican newspaper,
has declared.
According to the author of the
series, the Rev. Eugenio Pelleg-
rino, S. j., about a third of the
worlds Catholics live in Latin
America, but they are administer
ed to by only a seventh of the
worlds priests.
1T is . known fact" Father
Pellegrino wrote, that the ratio
between Catholics and priests
should be at least one priest for
every 1000 Catholics. While in the
United States of America, the aV-
erage is one priest to 622 Catholics
and in Canada one to 479, the 25,-
900 regular and secular priests in
Latin America make up the very
poor percentage of one priest to
about 1000 faithful"
Father Pellegrin0 stressed that
in certain Republics, the average
is even lower. He cited San Saliva
dor, Honduras, Haiti, and Santo
Domingo, where the numbers of
Catholics served by one priest are
9,788, 10,345, 1885, and 14,679,
respectively. He said that Guate-
mals has an average of one priest
to every 27,966 faithful, and added
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1952-07-11

that only Chile, Ecuador and Co
lombia can boast of an average of
from one priest for every 1000
OF 5000 Catholics
Even these averages are not
true to facts" Father Pellegrino
explained, because all priests
in each country are not directly
engaged in the apostolate. An ex-
ample is Costa Rica, which has 200
priests for 100000 Catholics, but
more than half of whom are not
directly engaged in the care of
souls"
Father Pellegrino said that, in
response to an appeal of the Holy
See, religious institutes in North
America and Europe are sending
missionary personnel to Latin
America. He said $50 us. priests
and brothers and $50 us. nuns
we're in Latin America in 1916, and
that last year the Commissariat for
Emigration in Italy was sending
an average of two priests a week
to South America.
IT is a matter" Father Pelleg-
rino wrote, 'of recruiting thousands
of such volunteers In order to be
in time to stop the crisis. This is
invariably the appeal heard from
each Bishop, from each mission
airy scattered throughout the vast
prsiries, on river routes, on the
highlands of the Andes, in the
great cities"

Philippine Court Exempts
Religious Schools From Taxes

any activity conducted for profit.
The Judge ordered the Bureau
of Internal Revenue to refund the
money collected to the Sacred
Heart College.
In his written decision the judge
pointed out that the law exempt
ing religious schools from income
tax has been on the books since
1918 and that no demands had
been made by successive Collectors
of Internal Revenue until 1850
when the Sacred Heart College was
taxed.

Padre Says PoIiteness Is
0yerdone - Sometimes

ROSANA, Africa-NC)-Even
politeness can be overdone,
claims the Rev. Edward H.
James. Maryknoll missioner
from Washington, Ind.
If a priest is caught in a
crowd here, someone usually
shouts, Let the Padre
through" Or if a priest stops
to watch a group of lads play
ing soccer, someone is sure to
say, LET the Padre play, too"
But just recently Father
James ran into a group of ma.
tives who had cornered a ten.
foot momba snake, the desdliest
type in Africa, and someone
suggested, Let the Padre kill
the snake"

DUBLIN radio, NC)-A tri-
