Devout People In Moscow’s
Sole Catholic Church Moved
Visiting Educator To Tears
CINCINNATI (NC) — What
an American Catholic educator
saw in Moscow’s one function
ing Catholic Church last fail
brought tears to his eyes.
Dr. Urban H. Fleege, head of
the De Paul University, Chica
go, education department, told
the Cincinnati Medievalists and
Xavier University students that
he went an hour early to 8 o’
clock Mass in Moscow’s Church
of St. Louis of the French.
“At 7 o’clock the church was
filled. I don’t know what time
the people arrived. Three-
fourths of them were women
at least 55 years old. There
were no young men, no young
women, no teen-agers.”
All were busy with their pri
vate devotions until the priest
appeared for Mass.
“Only a few prayerbooks or
missals were evident,” said Dr.
Fleege, “and these were yellow
ed and worn with age. Some
were stitched together by hand,
and at least one that I saw had
been written out entirely by
hand.”
The only representative of a
Catholic institution among a
group of U. S. educators study
ing Russian educational meth
ods and institutions, Dr. Fleege
confirmed that Catholics are not
permitted to publish or to im
port Bibles, Catholic newspa
pers, missals or other prayer-
books, or even songs.

BOOK REVIEWS
EDITED BY EILEEN HALL
3087 Old Jonesboro Road, Hapeville, Georgia
noticed many of the women tak
ing notes. This is common prac
tice, he learned, so that the in
struction can be passed on to
those unable to attend Mass.
Many of the women cried in the
course of the sermon, he not
iced.
When he left the church at
10 a. m., the congregation—
most of them dressed very shab
bily—s till remained, singing
hymns and praying.
The widely traveled educator
said “I have never seen people
praying with such earnestness.”
“I am not easily moved to
tears,” he said, “but the tears
came as I watched them. I felt
that I was certainly kneeling in
the midst of a communion of
saints.”
Dr. Fleege asserted that
young men and women are os
tracized if they have anything
to do with the Church or with
religion—Catholic or any other.
That means exclusion from
communist youth groups, from
vocational opportunities, from
most ordinary social contacts.

er and every contributor may

mere marie of new
FRANCE, by Mary Fabyan
Windeatt, Kenedy, $2.50.
(Reviewed by John
Schroder, S. J.)
Publication of these books
marked the first anniversary of
the American Background
Books series of biographies for
Catholic youth. Others in the
series deal with the lives of
Casimir Pulaski, Thomas Don-
gan, Margaret Brent, Cortez and
his chaplain Fra Olmedo, Father
Abram Ryan, and . Alfred E.
Smith.
“Father De Smet,” said
Thomas Hart Benton in Con
gress, “has done more for In
dian welfare and keeping them
in peace and friendship with the
United States than an army
with banners.” Frequently De
Smet was summoned to Wash
ington to talk with presidents,
senators, and generals about the
governments policy of handling
(or should I say man-handling?)
the Indians. His success as a
missionary was evidenced by a
chain of his missions across the
Northwest. But he never real
ized his dream of establishing
reductions, as had been done
by his fellow-Jesuits in South
America — communities or re
serves which lifted the ab
origines from the jungle to a
high degree of civilization. Pres
ident Grant dealt the Catholic
missions a death-blow. Of 43
Indian reservations, Catholics
were excluded by law from all
but four. Eighty thousand Cath
olic Indians became Protestants
as a result. When the Indians
heard of De Smet’s death, they
wailed and covered their heads
with dust. Although this bio
graphy was written for teen
agers, at least one adult be
came quite absorbed in it.
Mere Marie of New France
is the life of a remarkable wo
man, the foundress of the first
Ursuline convent in Canada. Her
story is the story of Quebec and
New France. The school she
founded was for the Indian girls
whose families had been con
verted to Christianity by the
missionaries. A history of hero
ism, interestingly told for Jean-
agers, especially girls.
heart good to turn back to the
author’s preface in which,
among other things, he acknow
ledges his particular gratitude
to certain “Catholic scholars”
who had made possible “access
to a considerable body of docu
mentary material to me, a stran
ger and non-Catholic.”
MARY REED NEWLAND
Mrs. Mary Reed Newland,
who will be the luncheon speak
er at the Twentieth Annual
Convention of the Savannah
Diocesan Council o f Catholic
Women, on April 25 and 26 in
Macon, is the author of three
popular books for the Catholic
family. We and Our Children,
The Year and Our Children, and
The Sainis and Our Children,
were published by Kenedy and
reviewed in THE BULLETIN
soon after their publication.
We and Our Children, pub
lished in 1954, has been called
“a helpful, practical guide to
Christian parenthood covering
all the subjects on which Cath
olic parents most frequently
seek advice and direction.”
The Year and Our Children,
published in 1956, is designed
to help parents introduce their
children to various practices in
accord with the liturgical year.
Games, stories, menus, and how-
to-do-it ideas, all linked with
the Church year, its seasons and
feasts, are offered by Mrs. New
land from her own experience
in teaching her seven children
to commemorate the liturgical
year at home.
The Saints and Our Children,
published just a year ago, was
called by THE BULLETIN’S re
viewer Mrs. Margot Atwood, “a
valuable asset in the, task of
teaching children about God.”
Mrs. Atwood, the mother of
nine, found Mrs. Newland’s sug
gestions wise and helpful.
“It goes far beyond a mere
collection of lives of the saints,”
she said. “By examining the
training and teaching given by
the parents of such saints as
John Bosco, Dominic Savio,
Therese of Lisieux, Maria
Goretti, and Bernadette Soubir-
ous, valuable lessons . . . are
taught . . . Direct advice from
St. John Bosco, St. Thomas
More, Blessed Claude de la
Colombiere, Sister Josefa Mene-
dez, is as timely as if written
today. . . . Twenty stories of
saints, to be memorized and
used by parents to stress partic
ular virtues, make up the last
chapter of the book.”
THE EMERGENCE OF LIB
ERAL CATHOLICISM IN
AMERICA, by Robert D. Cross,
Harvard, $5.50.
(Reviewed by Leo J. Zuber)
Here is a volume with good
red meat on its bones, good fare
for any day in the year includ
ing all days of abstinence. The
subject is really facinating even
though, as stated by the book’s
title, it appears a bit pompous
and forbidding. Just imagine, if
you have never experienced any
appreciable part of it, the
United States of the 1800’s with
numerous foreign groups flock
ing to its shores and settling
down among already established
peoples. Irish Catholics, French
Catholics, German Catholics,
Italian Catholics, and others, all
Catholics to be sure but distinc
tive national groups cast, a bit
by choice and a bit by lot, into
a new and young national set
ting.
Then add to these ingredients
the spicing of other varying and
contrasting elements, intellect
ual and non-intellectual, wealth
and poverty, conservative and
liberal, and all the in-betweens;
papal pronouncments on the Im
maculate Conception and on
rights of labor.
These are but some of the
contrasting and conflicting cir
cumstances which Catholicism
in the United States found itself
in the century past and through
which it emerged with strength
and structure intact into the
aggressive, united body we see
today.
Dr. Cross undertook and com
pleted, successfully and skill
fully, a really monumental task
in unrea veiling the tangled ’
threads of a basic formative
period of Catholicism in this
country. Documentary evidence
of his work, for any who may
need such evidence after the
body of this book, appears in 66
pages of notes and 17 pages of
biblography.
After experiencing the impact
of this volume and realizing
even dimly the labor that went
into its making, it does one’s
