THE STORY OF SAINT
FRANCES DE SALES, Patron
of Catholic Writers, by Kathe
rine Bregy (Bruce, $2.95).
This brief, informal biogra
phy, only 108 pages long, is ded
icated “to our Catholic writers,
past, present, and future.” An
epilogue explains why Pope
Pius XI, in 1923, named St.
Francis as Patron of Catholic
Writers, rather than St. Augus
tine or St. Thomas Aquinas.
“. . . he had neither the unique
genius of Augustine nor the en
cyclopedic productivity of Tho
mas,” the author says, but
“Francis was and remains emi
nently approachable, graciously
encouraging to his clients, in lit
erature as in spirituality.” His
example, she continues, “is a
heritage urgently to be claimed
by Catholic writers today —
themselves so vitally needed if
our groping modern world is
to be brought back to the truth
; and beauty of Catholic ideals. It
is a real apostolate . . .”
This facet of St. Francis’ cha
racter, however, is not the only
one which shines warmly and
radiantly from Miss Bregy’s
charming book. He is seen also
as the gentle, humble Bishop
of Geneva whose efforts brought
back so many souls from Cal
vinism; as the learned and elo
quent man whose genius for
making friends endeared him to
his contemporaries and was rec
ognized by royalty who sent
him on diplomatic, social, and
apostolic missions of all kinds;
and above all, as the inspired

director of souls, chief among
whom was St. Jane Frances de
Chantal, co-founder with him of
the Order of the Visitation. His
collected letters and conferenc
es, written for St. Jane Frances
and the many others, both in the
world and in the cloister, whom
he guided along the paths of
sanctity, made up his well
known Introduction to the De
vout Life and Treatise ol the
Love of God.
“The Introduction . . .” Miss
Bregy says, “seems to have been
the perfect answer to that hun
ger after holiness which the
Counter Reformation carried
into the worldliness of seven
teenth-century Europe.” The In
troduction is still a perfect an
swer for those who hunger after
holiness. Miss Bregy’s book,
with its interesting historical
background and numerous items
of human interest, is a delight
ful introduction to the master
ful spiritual writer and direc
tor who authored it.
ST, DOMINIC: PILGRIM OF
LIGHT, by Gerard K. Brady
(Kenedy, $3.95).
St. Dominic’s role in implant
ing anew a concept of spirituali
ty combined with intellectual
attainment is one of the subjects
of this new biography of the
founder of the worldwide Order
of Preachers.
Dominic, a Spaniard by birth,
was a chief figure in combatting
the low educational standards
and luxurious living of many of
the clergy of his day, a contrib
uting factor to the spread of the
Albigensian heresy , which rav
aged Southern France and many
other European countries. This
dominant heresy of the 11th,
12th and 13th centuries, was bas
ed on the idea of the dualism of
two opposing principles, good
and evil, in which all matter, in
cluding the human body, was
regarded as evil in itself.
In detailing the historical
framework within which Dom
inic’s work was accomplished,
author Brady has highlighted
the central figures of the Albi
gensian Crusade — among them
Pope Innocent III, Simon de
Montford, and Raymond of
Toulouse.
Mr. Brady describes the in
ception of the order which bears
St. Dominic’s name, its estab
lishment and spread throughout
medieval Europe. He shows it
as answering the need^ of the
times for teachers and preachers
of exemplary life, especially
trained in disputation and the
ology.
The book contains a preface
by Giacomo Cardinal Lercaro,
Archbishop of Bologna, with
whose ancient University Dom
inic was identified. In his pre
face Cardinal Lercaro points out
that the heresy of Dominic’s day
has its present-day counter-part
in the ideology of Communism
which now dominates so great a
part of the world.
THE ANGELS, by Pascal P.
Parente (Grail, $3.00).
(Reviewed by Rev. John Schro
der, S.J.)
How many angels are there?
What are their names? How
do they communicate with one
another? What is the function of
a Guardian Angel? These and
many other such questions are
answered in this down-to-earth

Chastity Extolled As Virtue *1
That Defends Life Of Family
BUFFALO, N. Y. (NC) —
Chastity. was extolled here as
a virtue that protects marriage
from attacks.
It is the “only antitoxin” for
“the pansexuality of our cul
ture, which makes sex a gim
mick,” Father John Fahey of
SS. Faith, Hope and Charity
Church, Winnetka, 111., told the
27th annual National Catholic
Family Life convention.
Father Fahey asserted that for
a married couple, “no less than
for Religious who have taken
vows of celibacy or virginity,
chastity . . . must be a control
ling factor,” not only in their
actions but also in their
thoughts and desires.
“A married man therefore
must face the fact,” he said,
“that anything in his life which
tends to make sex a plaything
or a dissipation is a direct at
tack upon the vitality of his
marriage ... A married man
who indulges in entertainments,
reading, jokes which degrade
sex is destroying the meaning
of his own marriage.”
“The pansexuality of our cul
ture, which makes sex a gim
mick, hurts marriage inestima
bly,” he said. “Like a low grade
infection it can be picked up
anywhere and brought home.
The only antitoxin for it is the
virtue of chastity.”
Speaking on “Virtues in Mar
riage and Family Living,” Fa
ther Fahey told the delegates to
the three-day meeting that chas
tity is not a negation of sex,
but “is a virtue which enables
us to subject our sexual powers
to God’s will.”
“The virtue of chastity,” Fa
ther Fahey continued, “does not
imply the denial of our sexual
powers, the rejection of our man
hood or womanhood, but ra
ther provides the context in
which these strong and precious
capabilities find their true val
ue.”
Father Fahey told the con-
theological treatise. Just as each
year science opens a little more
widely the invisible natural
world around us, so Father Par
ente discloses to us what revela
tion and theology tell us about
the invisible world of angelic
spirits — their power, dignity,
value, and beauty. Persons
worth reading about and know
ing about are the angels.
CATHOLIC DIGEST AWARD
John Delaney, editor of Dou
bleday’s paperbound series of
Image Books, is the 1958 winner
of the Catholic Digest Award,
presented by the Catholic Press
Association for “distinguished
service to Christian journalism
and publishing.” The award and
a check for $1,000 were present
ed at the Association’s 48th An
nual Convention in Richmond,
Virginia on May 22.
Mr. Delaney has been work
ing with books since he was 14.
His first job was making deliv
eries for a bookshop. After
graduating from college he con
tinued in the retail book busi
ness and later entered the pub
lishing business.
In 1954 he came to Doubleday
where Image Books were
founded under his direction.
This line of paperbacks which
are devoted to subjects of spe
cial interest to Catholics now
consists of 66 titles. There are
more than iVz million copies in
print. One of the most important
image works was the first trans
lation by American scholars of
St. Thomas Aquinas’ “On The
Truth of the Catholic Faith.”
This five-volume series is also
available in the hard-cover Han
over House edition. Some of the
leading authors whose books
have appeared with the Image
imprint include Philip Hughes,
Bishop Fulton J. Sheen, G. K.
Chesterton, Jacques Maritain,
Evelyn Waugh, Paul Horgan,
Hilaire Belloc, Thomas Merton,
Etienne Gilson, Francois Mau-
riac and Bruce Marshall. Mr.
Delaney selects and edits all
Image Books and works close
ly with the Doubleday Promo
tion department in opening new
outlets for their sales.
In addition to his work with
Image Books, Mr. Delaney is
the editor of Hanover House
books of special interest to
Catholics; general editor of
“The Catholic Viewpoint Se
ries,” books which give the
Church’s stand on such subjects
as Race Relations, Censorship,
and Marriage and the Family;
and editor of the Catholic Fam
ily Book Club and the Catholic
Youth Book Club.
It may be true that all men
are born equal, but there’s a
wide separation before they die.
vention that obedience and pov
erty are two other virtues that
make for a happy family life.
He said that virtues are good
habits . . . habits which make a
man a good man.
The speaker defined obedi
ence as “a virtue by which we
submit our will to the will of
another.” He said it is “really
the virtue which make things
run smoothly in any communi
ty-”
“Married life is community
life,” he continued, and hus
bands and wives “must learn
how to understand each other,
and must train themselves to
see the good of the other per
son. This is clearly the spirit of
obedience: to prefer the good of
another, the will of another, to
one’s own.”
“Certainly the husband is the
one to exercise final authority
in a family,” Father Fahey said,
“but he has this prerogative, not
for his own sake but for the
welfare of his wife and children,
and so he exercises his power
under an unwritten constitution,
the constitution of love. It
would be easy for a wife to sit
as judge of her husband’s exer
cise ' of his authority, but this
is not her proper role. Instead,
as a woman she must help him
to understand the factors in hu
man relationships which might
escape his notice, and as a wife
she must inspire him to patient,
prudent exercise of his respon
sibilities.”
“When a husband and wife
fail to achieve a spirit of obedi
ence in their relationship,” Fa
ther Fahey said, “the most trag
ic effects of their failure are
felt by their children. Disunity
between the parents inevitably
causes confusion and then rebel
lion in their children. No ma
terial benefits which parents
provide for their off-spring will
make up for this defect: if par
ents have not learned to be one,
their children will resent dis
cipline and abuse indulgence.
“And so the spirit'of obedi
ence is not only a prerequisite
of marital happiness for hus
bands and wives; it is the one
lesson which they can be sure
they will communicate to their
children.”
Poverty, Father Fahey ex
plained, “does not mean a will
ful acceptance of destitution.”
He said that even religious who
take the vow of poverty are
clothed, fed and housed, but
give up the right to acquire and
own property.
“Every family must live in
the spirit of poverty,” he added,
“if there is to be happiness in
the home. A husband and wife
literally have no private prop
erty: what they Own they own
in common, and while their lit
tle community is a small one,
the necessity of sharing grace
fully is still more pressing. De
spite the fact that a man’s pay-
check is made out in his name,
it does not really belong to
him; it is his and his wife’s.
“A new dress or hat can no
longer be the most important
thing for a woman, even if all
her friends have new clothes; a
■wife’s every want must be meas
ured, not by her own desires,

but by the needs of the family.
In passing, have you ever
thought how much harder it is
for a wife to practice the virtue
of poverty than it is for her sis
ter in the convent? Very few ad
vertisements are beamed di
rectly at convent-dwellers; but
most displays are arranged to
catch the eye of the wife, and
counting on her feminine tend
ency to indulge in impulse
shopping, they aim to convince
her, not just that she may le
gitimately buy this object, but
that she cannot really afford to
miss the chance.”
The speaker said the “life
long practice of distinguishing
between needs and wants, and
the sometimes necessity of trim
ming even needs to the hus
band’s capabilities,” are the ev
idences of the virtue of poverty
as it is practiced in happy
Christian homes.
