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 HAPEVILLE JEWELRY COMPANY 583-B S.

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?

Box 1038, Station A MARIETTA, GEORGIA 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, Serving Northeast Atlanta SUNRISE DAIRY Always Purity and Quality.

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.
