- ardinal Stritch still seems
~ puzzled as to how and
why he became the Arch
bishop of Chicago.
His diffident manner
his gratitude for small
kindnesses, his sOlicitude
for those about him leave
10 doubt of his humility.
Yet no one is more con-
scious Of the dignity of his
position or Of the Importance
of representing the Holy Fa-
ther. (This consciousness is
readily apparent and even the
most Babbit-like would never
consider slapping him on the
back.)
Always, everywhere, he is
the Churchman. He has an
overpowering sense of respon-
sibility to the Church, and it
is virtually Impossible for him
not to relate even the small
est action to the good of the
Church and to evaluate it by
that standard.
Leads q Lonely Life
This consciousness of the
dignity of his position, proba-
bly, more than any other rea-
son, accounts for the lonely
life he leads.
"a bishop must necessarily
be a lonely man." he explains.
As he has grown older,
as his friends of youth
have died, as he has risen
in the hierarchy, he has
turned more and more
within himself.
From his earliest years in
the priesthood, he had a fear
of worldliness, though no one
could have less cause to fear
His deep spirituality, his al.
most mystic nature, has made
him a man set apart, a man
who gives so much to his Coo
and his Church that he has
little left for anyone else.
This he accepts.
Against Snap Judgment
A notable characteristic o1
the Cardinal is his refusal tc
be hurried in making a deci
sion.

flee in Pittsburgh, fascinated
me during each board meet
ing, that is, before I was rele-
gated to the CF'U Officers
Alumni Assoc. 1 eagerly
planned my itinerary.
Each year, it was the
same plan but no action,
until the CFU proposed to
sponsor a tour of Yugosla-
via in conjunction with its
1856 Membership Ca M
paign.
My days of procrastination
were over and I firmly re-
solved that now was the time
to travel. To participate in
the tour of this magnitude, at
such bargain rates, was too
much to bypass.
With great anticipation, I
completed tn e preliminary
steps, pictures, passport, and
visa, and the only other detail
was the mode of travel.
Afraid To Fly? Never!
My original reservation was
to go by boat, where 1 pic
tured myself sprawled out on
a deck chair, inhaling the
fresh ocean air.
My dream came to an alb
rupt end when / received
word from my Pittsburgh
friends that l was making
the trip by airplane.
1t was quite a shock, since
I am a firm believer in the old
terra firma (the more firma
the less terra), but I eventu-
ally resigned myself to the
fact that I was going to fly
across the ocean.
I didn't dare back out be-
cause of the ribbing I was
getting about being afraid to
fly - my first plane ride and
it had to be across an ocean,
(and just after that fatal
crash in the Rockies). Mama
mia!
Fate Played Right Hand
I Immediately started to
weigh my luggage, to make
sure it didn't exceed the
grand total of "A pounds. How
to keep the weight down was
a problem.
Not only a problem, but
a headache when you try
to pack everything you
need for 50 long an over
seas visit.
However, somehow or 9TH
er, fate played a hand, for the
boys in Pittsburgh put me
back on the boat again, thus
doing a favor for a young
lass, who wanted to accom-
pany her mother on the air.
plane.
For this turn in events I
shall ever be grateful, for I
really enjoyed the boat trip
and the people in the boat
group.

much on the mistakes and
failures of America and not
enough on our very great
accomplishments during
this critical period in his
tory"
Bridling a bit when he was
referred to In the discussion
as a conservative, the Car
dinal explained: I'm social
justice and in social charity,
1 make no distinction between
conservative and liberal. On
basic principles in the social
field, 1 am for action and good
action. That doesn't make me
a conservative. Sometimes
you are so classified if you
don't take a rigid stand
where there is still room for
legitimate controversy"
Regarding Criticism
Reminded that some Cath
olic writer's have suggested
the possibility of anticlerical-
ism in America, the Cardinal
firmly rejected their views:
"Our bishops and priests
have come from the people
and have a strong feeling
and sympathy for the peo-
pie and their needs.
II do not see anticlericalism
as an important or even an
incipient problem in our land.
The old relationship between
the priest and his people has
changed with the times.
"It's all our Church, the
Church of the people as well
as my Church. Constructive
criticism, even if it is a little
destructive at times, is not
anticlericalism.
"A growing impatience
with us by some young intel
lectuals is not bad; in fact,
it can be good"
Problem Of Problems
As for the much-discussed
"Catholic ghetto, he admit
ted: "There is some truth to
the charge, mainly because in
the past there were many So
cial and language barriers as
well as opposition and perse-
cution which separated Cath
olics from others and threw
them together.
"While there is still room
for Catholics to further recog-
nize their obligation to the
body polite and to the whole
world, the vast Improvement
in recent years has made it a
problem of minor conse-
quence."
And on q problem close
to his heart and ever-pre-
sent in his archdiocese, the
role of the Negro in Amer
lean life, he spoke out un-
equivocally: 1--WE must
work on a basis of full in
tegration. 1t cannot be ac-
complished overnight, but
it must come"
Today in Chicago his flock
looks upon Cardinal Stritch
with an intimacy, a tender
ness, and a love that seems
unlimited. The Holy Father
expressed their devotion on
the twenty-fifth anniversary
of the Conservation of Cardi-
nal Stritch:
"The power Of your mind
and the generosity Of your
heart have found full scope
and expression in the great
See of Chicago

NaSa BraCca

~ur readers will recall that on January
~ 16, 1857, we congratulated the South
Chicago, H. "Sloboda' Serbian Singing
Society on being invited to perform in
Washington, D. c., on the occasion of the
Presidents Inaugural Banquet.
Now, one would think that such dis
play of good taste called for better under
standing between Americans of Croatian
and Serbian descent or extraction
But = no. There always has to be one
bigoted fly in the ointment.
IN RESPONSE to our article congratu-
lating this Serb cultural organization came
some biased lines, penned by a CF'U men,
Der who should be grateful that we choose
not to make his name public.
Wrote he: - "I noted in your publica
ton about the 'Soboda' Serbian Singing So
ciety going to Washington, DC If they are
natives of Serbia - Serbia - they have
my bow IF they are self-styled Serbs from
Croatia, then | personally dislike and dis
agree with anyone that calls them Serbs,
praises them and promotes (ed-Ipso Fac
tor Serbianism to the detriment of Gro
atians and Croatia
And this from one of Gods children; a
man who belongs to a fraternal organiza-
ton which since 1894 has preached and
practiced the gospel of the Brotherhood of
Man in America and Canada
We feel sorry for the like.
Il
PERHAPS letters like these should be
read and filed in the Wastebasket. Perhaps
they should never be made public.
But publish them we will so long as there
lives man, or men, who would condemn
everything Serbian because the Good Lord
in His infinite WISDOM chose to bring him
into this world the offspring of parents of
Croatian descent
Now, we hate no man. We cannot carry
or nurse a grudge. Enemies we may have,
but dislike them we simply cannot. Such is
our personal outlook on mankind
Fraternalism will do as much for anyone
if given decent opportunity.
For our own good, as Americans of
Croat and Serb descent, let US war together
on distrust, hatred, intolerance, aggression,
ignorance, bias, and bigotry.
Either that or perish. .
