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. FURTHER PARADOXES, by H. de Lubac, S. J. (Newman, $2.75).

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.

Walsh Building of the Georgetown University School of Foreign Service on October 13. Archbishop Patrick A.

Colombia's— (Continued from Page Five) 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.” ★ Manufacturers of Face Brick, Common Brick, Structural Tile AUGUSTA, GEORGIA Dutch Steak House AUGUSTA'S NEWEST AND BEST SERVING FINE FOODS • AIR-CONDITIONED SAL RISAFI, Manager Rural Route No. 1, Box 683 6 Miles from Augusta on U.
