One of the many pleasing results
of the recent election is the great num-
Der of Catholics named to public Of
flee. This is particularly true of u
state government from the Governor
on down.
1t shows, first Of all, that Catholics
are assuming their civic duty and are
entering politics which is as good or
bad as the individuals who make it up.
1t is to be hoped too, that these Off
Gals will manifest Christian principles
in the performance OF, their duties.
People expect more of Catholics, and
rightly so.
Those elected have a double re-
sponsibllity to their constituents and
the church as well.
But the few in public office are
not the only ones who have a civic
obligation. All of us should take a
more active part in local and state
government. We can do this by our

Just as Our Lord had faithful fol
lowers to help Him spread the good
news of the Gospel, SO the apostles
had many helpers as can be seen in
this Sundays Epistle.
There st. Paul commends the Thes-
salonians for their cooperation by CALI
ing them a pattern to all the believ-
ers in Macedonia and Achaia." Early
church history bears out the fact that
by their very mode of living the
Christians preached the Faith most eff
fectively.
In the world today there are a
great number Of Catholics. But the
proportion is no better than it was
centuries ago: / in 5. And here in the
Diocese of Columbus we number only
/ in 10. And this in the face of Christ's
command to convert the whole world.
The priest cannot do this work of
conversion alone. All Catholics have a
role to perform by returning to the
fervor of the first Christians and liv-
ing a life where love of God is para
mount.
In this mission, it is not so much
what you say as what you do. We

OF the crucial Importance of

tent perhaps than any other
bishop in the United States,
had it within his power to de-
tcrmine, what the attitude of
the Church was to be with re-
gard to industrial unionism.
The Cardinals response to
this historic challenge is ade-
quateiy summarized in the fol-
lowing excerpt from one of
his major speeches on the
labor problem:

should not be afraid to show that
prayer is necessary to us, and how
much we prize devotion to Our Lady.
We should act in the knowledge that
every act of the day is a prayer and
that overcoming temptation is some
thing meritorious. We must proclaim
before all that frequent Confession
and Communion are absolutely neces-
sary for us.
Since the Church is in the lime
light today, most people are interest
ed in things Catholic. Supply the ans
wers to the inquirer's questions. Be
loyal to the Church and proud of your
Faith and show your willingness to
share it at the slightest interest OF

they will discharge their duties with
honesty, dedication, and efficiency.
Those who an. should join civic
and community organizations to show
interest and to promote good ideas.
Our representatives want to know III
opinions and we should let them know
what we think. One opinion counts and
can perform incalcuable service.
In this matter we can follow the
suggestion of the Christophers and en-
courage others to be opinion-makers
by starting in u own locality to up
hold the ~changeless truths. We should
try to be positive and not limit our
contributions to criticism.
If we write letters, attend meet

ourselves and others that Government

The sudden unexpect-

Mooney was in circum-
stances appropriat ely
similar to those which
surrounded the recent
demise of his closest per-
sonal friend and init
mate associate, Cardinal
Stritch. His passing was
a grievous loss not only
to the priests and faith
full Of the Archdiocese Of
Detroit but, as President Eli

their fellows Catholics, and, in

Speaking more personally,

particularly true of past and

paid posthumously in the cur

are II, 900, 900 Americans now
living in dwellings beyond re-
Mobilization.
MOBILE POPULATION
Mobility is also something
to consider. There are $4,000
900 Americans c changing
home addresses annually. AS
a result there is a phenome-
nal increase in the number Of
people who are living alone.
There are now innumerable
families so scattered that they
meet only on special occa-
sions.
During the Depression the
size Of our families dropped.
Today that means that many
have only few relations.
Where . marriage is broken
by death or divorce the 70.
manning partner is often left
lonely because Of SO few close
relatives.
Another frequent cause of
loneliness among middle-aged
single women is their lack of
training in early life for a
skilled occupation. This often
keeps them tied TO unskilled,
poorly paid, boring o BIS
which leave them little ener-
gy to make new contacts or
to take part in any social ac-
tivity.
Even church-g0ers are find
ing a growing sense of isola-
ton when attending services.
Our late Holy Father recently
insisted that the dialogue
Mass should be one way of
uniting Christians more close
ly. This is a guarantee--un-
derstand the Liturgy, live it
with others and you will find
no better answer to the raw
aging problem of loneliness.

ALL THINGS
To accommodate Catholic
religious services to the tenn
permanent and culture of the
Negro is to do what Catholic
missionaries have done since
the beginning of Christianity.
st. Paul, in describing his
apostolic method, said that he
became all things to all men
to save all. The Church can
always manage to adapt 1t.
self to anything good in cul.
ture.
Pope Plus XII, in his IA.
nous eneyeiieal on the mis-.
siens, said: Where the Cos
pei is preached in any new
land, il should not destroy or
extingvish whatever its peo-
pie possess THAT is naturally

In preaching Catholicism to
American Negroes we are not
bringing the Gospel to a new
land, yet / do think the Holy
Fathers words apply to the
situation of the Negro among
us. There is a ''wildness" in
his religious music but it is
not evil. it is fundamentally
good. 1t is up to Catholics tc

Amen, brother. Hal
lelujahl"
When a Negro wor-
ships God in a. chapel in
a renovated store in one
of our big cities, he pours
his heart and soul into his
hymn singing. He feels a spon-
faneous, exultant love for
Jesus and he proceeds to sing
it. swing it, shout it to the
world.
"Disnified" whites, seevs-
toned TO nasal and anemie
AIlelUiss at Easter, tend to
consider these robvsfious and
Fhymiesi esdenees of the
Gospel singers" as somewhat
indecent. Perhaps relic Of
Jansenism tells them that IT'S
. sin 70 enjoy religion.
The question that faces
white Catholics today is: how
to share the Faith with Negro
friends? The time is ripe for
q special appeal to these vic
tins of injustice. They feel
that the Catholic Church is
their friend and they are a
naturally religious people.
AWED BY CHURCH
But | think Catholicism
swes them. They admire the
ritual but they don't feel
comfortable about worshiping
in a church in which they will
have to repress their natural
feelings and conform to a ira
dition of dignity and order to
which they are unaccustomed.
Now | believe there is no
reason under ths sun why the
Negro should be forced ia

orally good such as his deep
and vital love or music. Wa

Doctor Rene Spitz fol-

They both seemed equal

The results were startling.
The lonely child went back

evidence that isolation and

For example, take the case

temperament. So an import
ant factor that has made for
loneliness is the breaking up
Of small communities.
With the rapid growth of
large towns ii is rare today
that everyone knows everyone
else. Some now have a passion
Ito keep themselves to them
selves" City life becomes so
impersonall Some neighbors
only nod TO those they have
seen and watched for a dozen
years. Sociologist Emile Durk-
helm believes that a certain
lack of belonging is THE main
factor in suicides. Loneliness
then would not only take a
toll of the mental health of
our country but life itself.
In considering all OF this
we must never underestimate
the housing shortage. Over
crowding forces young people
to move away, often to great
distances. Actually we need
more than 400, 900 new hous-
ing units every year to take
\ care of the new families. We,
however, are building only
$50, 600 such units a year. But
even that is small c%onsola-
ton. Demolition. new high
ways, new industries, all de-
stroy about 100000 housing
units per year. We are, there
fore, getting worse each year
to the tune of 1000 hous-
ing units.
1t is with justifiable embar-
rassment that we call atten-
ton to the fact that our Gov
eminent is spending less on
Stun clearance and urban re-
newal than on fish and Wild
life conservation. We are

sion to the Holy Father. The
Holy Father makes the final
decision and if he so DEGREES
the person is then beatified.
Canonization may follow after
another formal process if
there is sufficient impetus
from the people and suffic-
lent evidence of extraordin-
airy holiness and miracles.
Only then is a person entitled
to full recognition as a saint
with public veneration
throughout the world.
