"Defender OF An
Old Faith

The national magazine, Net0st0eek, used picture
of the new Queen of England frontlSpiece last
week Under the picture the words Elizabeth
II: New Defender of an Old Faith" Some explana-
ton is due for such statement.
Charming as the new Queen u.s. it rs hardly to be
expected that she is going to act in the capacity of
her predecessor Henry VIII who given the title
Defender of the Faith" by Pope Leo X. When that
Pope issued the Bull "Esurge" June Is, 1920,
condemnng the of Luther, Henry VIII saw fit
to show himself fervent champion of the Church
and composed defense of Catholic doctrine. This
won for him the repeated title, claimed by all
monarchs who succeeded him to the throne of Eng
land.
AS is known Henry did not long keep his fervor.
great change came just a few years later. Henry
had married Catherine of Aragon, but political mo-
tives and an attraction for Anne Boeyn started
series of defectionS which eliminated in having him
self declared the head of the Church of England.
Anne Boleyn was beheaded in 1886 and the King
married Jane Seymour She died in giving birth TO
the future Edward W. and followed by Anne of
Cleves. The latter quickly put aside, the new
queen then being Catherine Howard, who was in
turn beheaded in 1912. Henry's last WIFE, Catherine
Parr, was about TO be condemned TO the stake
when Henry himself died January 27, l547. At his
funeral the people told not TO weep for him.
because such a pous king must surely have gone
straight to Heaven"
Henry WIS Act of Supremacy in 1884 put an
end 10 all of his fidelity to his Faith He wrested the
Church from the Pope, appropriating all spiritual
jurisdiction to himself The Oath of Succession"
of 1892 made il difficult for Catholics to remain
loyal to their Church without persecution. The
Treason Laws" came not long after to add to the
sufferings Of those who would wish to acknowledge
the Pope as head of the Church. II is evident that
the Defender OF the Faith" longer defending
IT, Because of his marital and political interests
he had to change him championship of the teachings
of the Church.
1t is evident also, that Queen Elizabeth II is not
Defender OF the Faith" in the same sense that
he when he received the title. Above all, il is
apparent that Elizabeth will not be Defender Of
an Old Faith" Netosteek indicates II Nei0StDeek
means that she is to defend the teachings of the
Church of England established by Henry VIII, then
the Faith she champions is only little four
hundred years old But many will wonder how she
will merit this title If she acts sincerely the
head of the Presbyterian Church in Scotland, an
other one Of her titles.

Our Bishop is showing the solution. It
is not solution that speaks of the failing of others

Approval OF A
Bloody Regime

Persons with sense of justice in their souls must
be forgiven if they fail to much in the way of
intelligence on the part of the us. State Depart
ments attitude toward Yugoslavia. The continuance
of aid to Titos butcherers, and the hoodwinkng
of the American people by leading them to believe
that our State Department is cleverly leading Tito
away from the Red orbit to the Western bloc of
tons is beyond the understanding of intelligent citi
zens Persecution and denial of fundamental free
doms have been and are constant crimes under Tito.
Then there is the administration Of Zone of
Trieste territory by the Communist regime of Tito.
Why is it that Tito dsregards the treaty by which he
has charge of that area and the Western nations
raise not hand? severe persecution RACES in
Zone is testified by an official paper from the
diocesan chancery there. The number of priests has
been reduced to less than onethrd of what it
in 1915 Beatngs of priests intimidations of every
Sort and refusal to permit religious ceremonies are
some of the outrages sponsored by Tito
Frequently the bloody hand of Tito has been ex
posed to the u. S. State Department 1t is high time
that Secretary Acheson learn that he cannot clasp
such a hand without getting blood on his own Be-
cause of his official position the American people
have right TO be indignant for blood on his hand
can Justly be said TO mean blood theirs, particu
larly so If they approve by silence and inacton.

itual in character. 1t was not
necessary for His Holiness to
tell the people of Italy that the
world is in a bad way. The COM
munists themselves do not hesi-
tate TO say so, when they are
trying to turn out non-com-
muniSt regime. The Sovereign
Pontiff did not appeal to people
to take up arms, or even the
ballot, to cure the evils that
threaten people everywhere with
disaster. The Pope said "an en-
tire world must be rebuilt from
its foundations according to
the heart of God" This is not
call to aggression, military or
political. And yet the commun-
lists, for their own mean ends,
would have people believe it is.
Why? Undoubtedly because they
know that when men and wo-
men turn to God, and to decency,
these turn away from the allure
ments of communism. So, the
Reds twist the argument, divert
attention by false and vicious
claims. This latest outburst in
Italy would seem to indicate that
the Italian Reds are really fear
full of a spiritual reawakening
in that country. They are hurt,
on the run-but they don't stop
trying.

is not as popular as it once was

The Forgotten (?) Man

Coming to the end of the Catholic Press month
we look back period of feversh activity. Pas
tors have worried through their parish lists. The
heads of families and individual subscribers have
written their checks and folded them into their
Sunday envelopes.
Reams OF material have been produced telling
OF the exact status of the Catholic Press, OF its
message and Importance in the modern world Ser
mons have been preached in all the parishes and
displays have been made by the school children de-
pcting the breadth and type of coverage offered by
Catholic publications throughout the country.
With last, hastily muttered prayer to st. Fran.
els de Sales. the Staffs OF the newspapers prepare
to enter another year Of speaking the mind of the
Church and recording It's history as it is made.
AS February turns, then, to greet the next month
and Catholic Press month is over, we can hear a
roar-easily mistaken for the roar of the March

he fails to 60 to the end of the

Because he knows these things,
Whitaker Chambers memoirs,
now running serially in The Sat-
urday Evening Post, are the writ
ings of a whole man, of man
who, quite literally, has kept his
integrity. Most of the ex-com-
munist biographies, however i'm
pressive, lack this quality. We
feel-even with so great and sim
cere writer as Arthur Koestler,
say-that we are hearing the sad
story of someone who has es-
capped from a trap, but only by
gnawing off some part of himself
and leaving it behind: his heart,
perhaps, or his hope. Mr.. Cham
bers has ransomed himself en-
tire,
Whitaker Chambers did not
abandon communism, as so many
others have done, merely to es-
cape an evil; he lied from it in
pursuit of a good-of the Good
called God. That is why he is
able to appraise communism
more truly than any mere states
man of our day. FOR politicians
are, for the most part, shallow
witted men: their trade, in nor
NAL times, demands no more of
them than a knowledge of how
to tack and sail the Ship of State.
But communism is a deep-sea
business; it can be understood
only by pearl-divers of the in
tellect, by theologians.
Crisis of The West
THE crisis of communism ex-
lists to the degree IN which it has
failed to free from God the peo-
Piles that it rules. Nobody knows
this better than he Communist
Party of the Soviet Union. The
crisis of the Western world ex-
lists to the degree in which it is
indifferent to God. Its crisis ex-
lists to the degree in which the
Western world actually shares
communism's materialist vision"

Subscriber.
Without him there would be no Press. Without
him the powerful message would be unwrtten. With
out him, Our Holy Father, the Pope, who sad "You
are my voice" would remain unheard.
We of the working press feel deep debt of
gratitude to that wonderful person: The Sub
scriber-but to single him out for special compli-
ments beyond those paid to the Catholic Press in
general would be embarrassing thing, like talk

to be communist or a fellow
traveller. Hearings by various
Federal ana State committees
and agencies have revealed the
shocking extent to which COM
muists infiltrated various phases
of American life. A number of
people have come forward
some voluntarily and some re-
luctantly-to say that they once
we're communists, or fellow
travellers. They made mistakes,
they said, and they wanted to
make amends.
This is all very touching, but
ii is just one more case of not
giving up-even when you are
on the defensive. Why shouldn't
your Government protect you
and me from insidious, plausible
people who would overthrow
the Government and make you
and me slaves? Why should a
man who threw his lot with COM
munism, because he thought he
was smart and was getting the
jump on his neighbor, whine be-
cause his gamble didn't pay
off? Didn't these same COM
munists, and their stooges, throw
a lot of honest, decent Ameri-
cans out of work-on the stage,
in the movies, on the radio, in
the writing and publishing bus
mess, and, yes, even in some
Government agencies?

and their sympathizers never
stop trying. Perhaps this fact
more than astuteness in propa-
gands, which undoubtedly they
have-is the explanation of the
success they have enjoyed thus
far.
Two dev e ! opments have
brought this to attention.
On Sunday, February 10, His
Holiness Pope Plus XII broad
cast to the people of Rome an
appeal for reawakening to save
a world which he said was al.
ready on the road to ruin. De-
spite that it was announced in
advance that this was part of
week of spiritual preparation for
the proper observance of the
penitential season of Lent, Ital-
ian communists Immediately
seized upon il for propaganda
purposes. The Reds said this was
an effort to prepare the Catho-
lies of Italy for the municipal
elections which are to be held
in one-third of the localities of
that country this spring.
To anyone who wanted to be
fair about it, the communists
charges are absurd. Sober, de-
cent people would shrink from
making them. Not the commun.
lists however.
