PIUS XI: THE POPE AND
THE MAN, by Zsolt Aradi
(Hanover House, $4.50).
(Reviewed by Elizabeth Hester)
A sturdy man of medium
height, bis thick glasses adver
tised myopia. He was a moun
tain climber and, somewhat con
versely, that frequenter of
tunnels, a librarian. Born in
1857 near Milan, his name was
Achille Ratti. And from 1922 to
1939 he was the Roman Pontiff.
When he became pope, - he
dedicated himself particularly to
the promotion of world peace.
Thus asserted, his pontificate
was swamped with the problems
of bolshevism in a chaotic Rus
sia, anti-clericalism in a heaving
France, the rise of Hitler in Ger
many and of Mussolini in Italy,
the invasion of Abyssinia by
Mussolini, and the civil war in
Spain. With the exception of
Pius XII, probably in all his
tory no Pope has ever been
expected to cope with more
knotty and ominous develop
ments. Pius XI appears to have
handled all without fireworks
or any spectacle; quietly, con
sistently, he did the sound thing.
Mr. Aradi’s book describes a
man with a personality so un
distinguished by quirk, twist, or
flair that the reader plows on
and on before any feeling at all
develops for the hero; yet at
last there evolves, as if at a
great distance, the impression
of a large shadow, of a great
and curiously faceless com
petence. Conceivably, this is
profoundly the stuff of Popes.

de Lubac with the particular sit-
uation of the Church in France
in mind. The author describes a
paradox as “the reverse view of
what, properly perceived, would
be a synthesis.” Synthesis is
what we seek; paradox is the
search for synthesis. It faces
toward fulness. Paradox exists
in reality before it exists in
thought. Since the synthesis of
the world has not been made,
the universe in growth is para
doxical. “The higher life rises,
the richer, the more interior it
becomes, the more ground para
dox gains . . . the mystical life
is its triumph.”
Fragmentary thoughts make
difficult reading because the
reader has to supply a context
for them out of his own experi
ence. However, this should not
be hard to do even though our
experience does not tally ex
actly with that of the Church in
France. In their roots, these
paradoxes are based on the ex
perience of all thinking Chris
tians.

PRESIDENT
TO ATTEND
DEDICATION
WASHINGTON, (NC)—Pres
ident Eisenhower will attend the
dedication of the Father Ed
mund A. Walsh Building of the
Georgetown University School
of Foreign Service on October
13.
Archbishop Patrick A. O’Boyle
of Washington is scheduled to
dedicate the new structure,
named in honor of the founder
of the School of Foreign Service.
The President will receive an
honorary degree and will speak
briefly at the morning program,
university officials said.

ed only by laws, decrees or eco
nomic reform.”
He added:
“If we truly wish to be some
what different from materialis
tic civilizations, we must resort
to the imponderable forces of
the spirit. Certainly we are all
interested in the prosperity,
progress, social wealth, strength,
and power of the nation, but
with these limitations: that
they be placed at the service of
human beings, of our fellow
men, of those who thirst for
justice, of those who suffer —
even of our enemies.
“When we become insensitive
to the Ten Commandments, we
let the ideology which we are
fighting infect us even more
deeply than we know.”
Concerning the Church it
self, President Lleras said that
“all other forces have been di
viding and weakening the na
tion except its religious faith,
which on the contrary has been
growing and gaining in strength
amidst these hardships.”
The President concurred with
a reference by Cardinal Luque
to the pervading influence of
Catholicism, and said that this
“Catholic influence . . . must he
given all the objective heed and
respect that it deserves” if only
because it remained “t h e
strongest tie between a people
who broke with everything else
in this time of fratricidal mad
ness.”
But he went further by cit
ing laws which embody this in
fluence in Colombian life, say
ing: “At the same time, the
State holds that there are in
addition obligations arising
from its laws and unwritten
agreements — the latter even
stronger than ordinary law.”
Cardinal Luque in his formal
address during the visit spoke of
the “very special” relationship
between the Church and the
State. This relationship must be
maintained, he said, and the
rights and prerogatives of each
power must be unshakenly gua
ranteed.
In this connection, Cardinal
Luque turned to the question of
religious freedom and the fact
that Colombia is an avowedly
Catholic country:
“This does not mean that no
suitable protection should be
given to religious ideas and
practices of non-Catholic faiths,
even when they lack numeri
cal importance in our Catholic
country. It simply means that
the exercise of such worship
and the spread of these non-
Catholic creeds — as the herit
age of very small social groups
—must be regulated in conform
ity to the needs of the common
welfare, which is the proper ob
ject of the law, so that the
common welfare will not be
harmed or threatened by the
excessive and immoderate use
of religious tolerance.”
