fact, by 1888. all of central

sanguine about the future.

The final chapter on 1.-THE
Future of Democracy" offers
some general principles for its
preservation. These are:
/. The moral basis of de-
mocracy, "the reality OF a uni

moral law" DIR. Stamps sug-
gests that democracy should
not be too firmly tied to Chris
tianity, though it owes much
to the latter. for this would
make things very difficult for
such countries as India, Israel,
Ceylon, and Turkey, to name
only a few.
2. Respect for tradition and
authority, since individuals do
not create society, but are

My own plans for the fu-

thoughts will always be on

loved Chinese people.
Since I've been back in this
country, nearly everyone has
asked me about the Church in
China. Will Christianity sur
vive? Are the priests still be-
ing b~rainwashed, slandered
and imprisoned? Will the peo-
pie remain loyal to Christ,
and to the Pope?
And | fell them all this same
story. IFS true--happened not
too long ago when the com.
munists launched . big cam
psisn in Shanghai to kill eli

The people were modified

crackers. The idea was to
brighten and kill all Of The
spsrroWs. In theory, no one
was to eat, drink, or sleep Un.
til they were exferminaied.
Well, we know what hap
pened. The sparrows took it
all in stride. They hid under
the caves, or flew to the high
est trees; sometimes they
moved their nests out into the
suburbs. When they couldn't
get worms, they ate insects.
When the ponds and puddles
of water were closed off, they
survived on dew. Finally aft
err several days, the fanatical
prosecutors were worn out
and the noise and fury died
down. And the sparrows? To-
day in Shanghai, there are al
most as many sparroWS as be-
fore-and stronger ones. The
sick and weak died. The heal
thy survived.
And that's the way it Is
with the Church in China.
The prosecution ofthe faith
full inside Red China recently
has reached another peak Of
intensity. Accounts reaching
the world from behind the
Bamboo Curtain report that
most Chinese priests are un-
dergoing another wave of
Red ~"brainwashing" in an ef-
fort to. force them to sever
all ties with the Holy See and
join the Progressive Catho-

communist control have been
supplanted by more subtle
ones which leave a mans body

to the point where he will
agree to anything his torment
ors present for approval.
We must be sympathetic to-
ward the priests and laymen
who repeatedly have gone
over to the Red-sponsored
church. They have been cut
off from any direct word from
the Holy See for almost ten
years. Meanwhile, they have
been subjected to continuous,
intense b~rainwashings. The
Reds have told them that the
Vatican has encouraged the
formation of an independent
Chinese Catholic Church"
These unfortunate Chinese
clergy have been pressured
day and night until they are
so confused they can't think
logically.
But inwardly, before God, I
feel they will save their souls.
After all they are new in the
Faith. God is merciful. The
vast majority of the priests
and Sisters and Catholic peo-
pie of China are still staunch
in their Faith. even though
they may be silent at the pres
ent time.
Despite the few who have
seemed to weaken outwardly,

the present and future
plight Of the Church in

BY FATHER JOSEPH P.
MCCORMACK M.M.e.
Hope is the enemy of
communism. In its place
the communists foster
despair. Because the Reds
can't completely stamp
opt the Faith in China, they
are willing to tolerate it. Mao
TIE Tung, in a speech about
nine months. ago said: W.
will have to tolerate religion
for some time to come, until
the country is entirely social
lied. Once. specialization is
complete all religion will be
stamped out"
But instead of joining the
Red-dominated Progressive
Church." Catholics in China
are going underground, simil-
ar to the early Christians of
the catacomb era during the
Roman prosecutions.
Humanity speaking, I cannot
zee any hope Of Catholic mis-
sioners returning to China dur.
ing my lifetime. But ! firmly
believe THAT il we were TO re-
fvrn so or 100 years from now
we would find thousands Of
Chinese Catholics still praetie.
Ing their Faith secretly.
One point I'd like to empha-
size is that, contrary to some
of the glowing reports of
brief-touring Western church
men and government officials,
there is absolutely no real re-
1igious freedom in China to-
day. I've seen myself these
Hollywood-like props which
the Reds have established in
key locations to beguile visit
ing officials.

fool somebody who is vnfsmiI.

Chinese but they could never
fool any old China veteran

The Catholic Church is the
