Some may say: But didn't
the French priest worker
movement fail miserably?"
Yes, it did. But comparisons
limp, especially a comparison
between the deChristianized
factories of France and condi.
tions here. A French Jesuit
told me a few years ago that
he didn't believe the ordinary
Christian could save his soul
in the c%apltalistic society of
the French factory districts.
Moreover, rem c m b that
these priests were workers
and were not acting as priests.
Then, too, there was much
anticlericalism around them
and opposition from the com.
munists in the factory. Add to
all this the fact that these
young priests were not pre-
pared to cope with the COM
munists and you can see why
the project failed.

Catholic papers
and magazines in the
United States, with a few
exceptions, have reacted
more or less favorably to
the Castro revolution in
Cuba. Following the lead of
the Cuban Catholic press and
of Cuban Catholic Action,
they have, with certain reser-
yatior1s, given at least guarded
and tentative approval to the
stated aims and detectives Of
