The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1952-09-05

Over a survey of national affairs in its issue of
August 25 1882 the magazine, "NeWSDeek" stated
in headline that an Economic calm lulls the ma
ton. so nominees hunt other issues" No doubt
news of such a calm will be welcome to millions of
Americans who are struggling with recent rises in
the cost of living.
The constant, and sometimes despairing effort
to meet the high cost of food and other commodities
of daily life, becomes more and severe Hearts
of housewives and of their breadwinnng husbands
are full of foreboding about the future if these
high prices continue Not everyone gets raise in
wages when the steelworker receives one, although
the the in wages in the steel Industry given
for priceraisng in the things to be bought
everywhere by everyone.
However, if in the face of such situation the
nominees feel they have no real economic prob
lem to ballyhoo, we would like to suggest that
someone insert political plank in the present
campaign requiring the vctors to sidetrack some
of the billions of dollars spent by government to the
financing of desperately needed homes for rent
by families with children. The housing problem
remains. And the stand against children by land
lords remains.
Good, decent people, with excellent family
backgrounds. unable to live in ordinary homes
without paying rents beyond all reason and certain
ly beyond the reach of their incomes Someone with
the ability of the author of Uncle Toms Cabin of
Dickens in his DdD1d Coppertteld, ought TO write
modern purpose novel about life in a trailer camp
The children who live in the miniature homes OF
such camps, found usually on the outskirts OF the
big cities, deserve better of the America which
they will come to rule in the future Crowded To-
gether in some grove, with miniature streets and
lots for homes these families lack much in the
way of sanitation and other public health facilities
The only redeeming feature about the trailer
camp home is that il doesn't take much to start
up the auto motor and pull the trailer TO another
location.
Then there is the increasing number of
families being forced TO hunt homes in sum areas
because of their inability TO pay the high rents de

Wisdom I'm A Troubled Age

These arc troubled times without a doubt Yet
there times when one is tempted to wonder
whether or not this age Is any worse than some
others that have gone before Older persons may
think that this is truly the most disturbed era while
youthful people will surmise that ii may have been
just as bad generation or so ago.
IL is doubtful however if many will question
the assertion that the world is in anguish
today than ii has been for many decade. And most
will agree after some thought that II is due TO the
fact that men have wandered away from God for
getting the important virtues of love and Justice.
The result has been hatred and injustice in bus.
mess and industry IN national and international
relations
to the writings of people who have not strayed
from God 10 those who lived in close union with
Divine Wisdom, with the result that they were
not disturbed in soul as are so many today Take
for instance of the precious words of the great
mystic. Teresa OF AVila.
Let nothing disturb thee says the saint "Let
nothing dismay thee all things pass, God never
changes Patience attains all that il strives for
He who has God finds he lacks nothing. God alone
suffces"
Some more: Our Lord never fails us the fault
and the wretchedness being all own"
DO not suppose that who suffers does not
pray he prays since he offers his sufterngs to
God and often far better than who is racking
his brains IN solitude and who faneies, If he man
ages to wiring out few tears that this is true
prayer"
Never forget that an agreement is better
than lawsuit 7"
@Do not be in a hurry for enjoyment it is for
mercenaries to claim their pay at the end of the
day Serve without reward do the great ones
of the world for their earthly kings"
Another great mystic ST. John Of The Cross,
gives some good advice TO the people of an age
much concerned about liberty: "All liberty and
power Of the world compared with the power and
liberty OF the Spirit Of God is but supreme slavery,
wretchedness and captivity; and so he who loves
superiority and dignties and the indulgence Of
his desires . will never attain 10 the true liberty
Of the spirit attainable in the Divine union be-
cause slavery has no fellowship with liberty, liberty
dwelleth not in heart subject TO desires for that
heart is in captivity but in that which is free the
heart of a son"

of achieving unity :. We have now reached
point at which our divergences stubbornly resist
easy solution"
This, as we said could be looked as dis
heartening conclusion, however it might be taken
as an indication that the possible solution which
was never considered, might, in the future be given
some consideration: Reunion with Rome.
IT is just possible that this most unthinkable of
all answers to the rends in the Christian fabric
might now not utterly fantastic. If all
other means have failed, might not all men pray
that this possibility be given prayerful thought?

Swedish Lutheran Archbishop Yngve Brilioth said
that for the first time Roman Catholic observers

great Church of Rome is not indifferent to what

and that an amity of souls can exist in spite of

Lets see: we will first de-
prive millions of men and wo-
men of the healing beauty of ma
ture. We will entomb them IN
cities of concrete and steel,
among canyon-like walls that
blot out their vision of the moon
and the stars. We will ensure
that they see neither dawn nor
sunset. We will then set up a
system of good manners which
prevents anyone from speaking
to a stranger. Added to this, we
will arrange that a great many
of them live alone. That will eff
fectively cut them off from easy,
habitual human companionship.
Next, we will contrive
system of work that has no Gre
ative quality and no apparent
use. Factory workers will devote
their energies to operations
whose part in the completed ar
ticle is mystery to them
throughout their days. The week
will become a lethargic round,
frightened only by the pay
check at its end.
I'VE will also arrange an edu-
cational system which hides the
very existence of a loving God
from its children and murmurs
no syllable of the moral law, or
of ethics, or of any more elevat-
ed system of human behavior
than a school of psychology that
calls sins sicknesses and offers a
remedy for them to only the
rich few.
"Our object in all this will
be clear and simple: it will be
to spread the sin of despair to
the whole human race"
That is what the Devil might
have planned. That is what, in
fact. industrial civilization has
brought about. And the ironical
fact of the matter is this: that
the countries in which this
malaise is most advanced are the
envy of the others. Backward

of a system which has the high

Pathological Wrath

The editorial is entitled "The
Eucharistic Congress at BARGE
Iona - Tedeschini Raises the
Swastika" The accusation is
made-as the title of the editori-
al almost savagely suggests
that Cardinal Tedeschini, Papal
Legate to the Barcelona Con
gress, delivered himself to a
passionate eulogy of the Falan-
gist system and a glorification
of the victims Of the Spanish
Civil War-but only of those
who had fought on the Franco
side"
Cardinal Spellman also comes
in for honorable mention. Last
year" the insulting editorial con
tinues, "Monsignor Spellman
made a gesture towards the free
labour movement by attending
the annual Convention of the
Congress of Industrial 0rganiza-
tions. This year. this dignitary
of the Roman Catholic Church
appeared before the working

most terrible oppression in West

This is a new twist to an old
formula which has long since
become the standard dodge of
professional anti-Catholics. Paul
Blanshard, for example, usually
condemns the Pope and the hier-
arehy but manages to put in a
good word for the laity and the
so-called "'lower' clergy. (Some
of his best friends are Catholic
laymenD The editor of Free La
bour World has adopte d
somewhat different approach.
He praises the Pope and con-
demns the hierarchy but, very
