The motion picture version of the
controversial best-seller THE Nuns
Story" has been released and will be
shown in this area shortly
In the interests of Qualification, per-
haps a few comments will help u read
erS who might be interested in seeing
the movie.
The book, written by Kathryn Hume,
carried the publishers blurb that it was
true in all its essentials The Marist
Missions magazine of June 1858 refuted
this claim with a p~oint-by-point discus
sion Of many of the incidents mentioned
in the book.
The first point TO remember then is
this: the book was based on the life of
a Sister Luke, but it is not a biography.
1t must therefore be considered a work
of fiction because most of the dramatic
incidents are imaginary. This has been
verified by a III who made her noviti-
ate with the real Sister Lake.
The movie version does not claim
this is a ''real-life" story and has de-
leted many of the misrepresentation
contained in the book. However, accord
ing to Sister Mary Augustine, editor Of
the Msrist Missions, the basic mistake
of the book is still present, namely that
the religious life is a negative life with
blind and unreasoning obedience as its
chief motive.
We all know this is untrue. The love
of God is a positive thing. The vows of
religious are a guide to them, but all
INNS concentrate nm thp thpoloolral
virtues by practicing Faith which is an
obedience" to Gods will, Hope which
is a poverty seeing God in all things

Month OF Precious Blood

A further application Was made in
The writings of the late Caryll House

Russian revolution was TO convert the
world, because the Passion OF Christ
was being lived out in the lives of that
unhappy people.

the Mystical Body of Christ Il suffer

From the time of the Apostles. Chris
tians have had great devotion to the
Precious Blood of Our Lord because it is
synonymous with His Passion and
Death. the source of our redemption.
In praetieing this devotion Catholics
ask the Heavenly Father TO accept shs
blood OF His Divine Son in expiation for
sin, the conversion of sinners, the wants
of the Church, and the suffering souls
in Pureatory.
Next Wednesday, July |. begins the
month dedicated to the Precious Blood
of Our Lord. 1t was so designated by
Pope Plus TX in 1849 to remind us of

CORRUPTION
There have been in the
past European political parties
that supported Catholic prln-
ciples and programs. Usually
the Church received no credit
for what these parties accom-
plishcd but abuse and blame
were heaped on the Church
for the shortcomings of the
members of the parties.
AS Kuehnelt.L eddihn wrote
in The Catholic World" in
December, 1855: Personally,

without interruption, beeom-
ing old, decaysd, even corrupt,
inevitably compromising the
Church which would be held
responsible by the simple
minded masses for all the

The Christian Democratic
Parties in Europe we're mag
nificently successful in post

communism and provided po-

Thank God we have nothing
that looks like a Catholic po-
litical party IN the United
States.
However, this is only one
angle from which to view the

Sum and Substance:
Adenauer Had Right
To Change Mind
BY FIR. John B. Sheerin, esp.

has every right to remain
Chancellor until the democrat
ic elections in 1861.
There is. however, an angle
to the question that you will
not find discussed in the sec
ular press. Regardless of AIDE
nauer's right to remain Chan
cellor, | think his decision
is regrettable from the
standpoint OF the Church IN
Germany. For | believe the
Church would stand to gain if
Adenauer handed over The
reins of the Protestant Err
hard. Why do | say this?
Well. the Christian Demo
cratic Party TO which both
Adenauer and Erhard belong,
has. been accused Of dishones-
ty in dealing with the question
of the Identification Of the two
Germanies. The charge has
been that the Party, under
heavy Vatican pressure. has
refrained from taking positive
steps toward reunitlna strong
ly Protestant East Germany
and predomlnantly Catholic
West Germany.
AS early as lq49, the Ger.
man Protestant leader Niemol'
Ter charged the Adensuer Re-
public was a Catholic stated,
"a child conceived in the Vat
lean and born in Washington"
He also said that the Protest
ants had lost a battle when
the new Federal Republics
Constitution wss signed. In
short, the charge is that the
Christian Democratic party
in West Germany is really
Catholic party and that the
Church has been mixing in
politics.
Now | Judge that this suspic-
ion would be allayed if the

ing Church Christ said to the
Apostles: "All power in heav-
EN- and on earth has been given
to me. Go, therefore, and make
disciples of all nations, baptis-
ing them in the name of the
Father and of the Son, and of
the Holy Spirit, teaching them
TO observe all that | have COM
manded you; and behold | am
with you all days, even unto
the of the
world" We Catholics are con-
WINGED by Faith land by good
reasons drawn from the Bible,
from history and from sound
reasoning1 that the one su.
thorized church is the Roman
Catholic Church. There is not
the same difficulty for most
Protestants who do not be.
lieve that they have the one
true church. Generally they
hold to the existence of the
Church, meaning the invisible
union of all Christians or OF
all Christians IN the state of
grace. There are exceptions
but for most Protestants there
is no difficulty in conscience
in attending services of anoth-
er church. In this matter it in
not necessary to prove that we
are right but that we cannot
in conscience attend other
services and remain Catholic.
1t may be said that they think
we are wrong in this view but
Protestants should respect our
conscientious stand in this
matter.
