WASHINGTON—(NC)—Sen.
John F. Kennedy said he and
51 Methodist bishops who in
vited him to an off-the-record
meeting engaged in a “general
discussion of public questions.”
The legislator, a Catholic
widely regarded as a leading
candidate for the 1960 Democra
tic nomination for the presi
dency, characterized the session
in a brief statement as “very
pleasant.”
A Kennedy aide said later
that “one of two questions had
religious overtones,” but most
of the 40-minute session was de
voted to questions on foreign
policy.
THE COUNCIL of Bishops of
the Methodist Church, leaders
of the nation’s largest single
Protestant body, with about 9.5
million members, met with a
number of top government offi
cials during its semi-annual
meeting here. The total mem
bership of the council is 76.
President Eisenhower re
ceived council members at the
White House. Later, they met
in closed sessions with a num
ber of other officials, including
Vice President Pdchard Nixon,
Chief Justice Earl Warren, Sen.
Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota,
Sen. Kennedy, Defense Secre
tary Neil H. McElroy and others.
Only one bishop made a re
port after the closed-door ses
sion with Sen. Kennedy in the
Senate Office Building. Retired
Bishop James H. Straugh of
Baltimore told newsmen Sen.
Kennedy has a “good person
ality” and “appealed very much
to the group.”
FRED HOLBORN, a Kennedy
assistant, said in commenting on
a report that the legislator was
questioned about his interview
in Look magazine in mid-Feb
ruary that most of the session
was devoted to foreign policy
questions, though “one or two
questions had religious over
tones.”
“It was all in a friendly
spirit,” he said, adding that
there was no effort to secure
from the Senator further opin
ions on Church-state matters.
In the Look interview, the
Massachusetts legislator was
quoted as saying he opposed

CATHERINE LABOURF, AND
THE MODERN APPARITIONS
OF OUR LADY, by Abbe Omer
Enelebert, Kenedy, $3.95.
“Never enough is said about
Mary.”
In L930 the Mother of God
appeared to a young novice in
a convent of the Daughters of
Charity, in Paris, and showed
h»r the design of the mpdal,
now known as the Miraculous
Medal, asking that she have this
medal made and distributed,
and promising many graces,
particularly the grace of conver
sion, through its use.
Sister Catherine Laboure, to
whom this charge was entrust
ed, was instructed to tell no one
but her confessor of the ap
paritions and the secrets given
her by Our Lady. She carried
out her charge heroically and,
until a short time before her
death, forty-six years later, Ca
therine herself remained an ob
scure member of the commun
ity, serving as portress, poultry
keeper, and nurse to a group of
old men. She was canonized by
Pope Pius XII on July 27, 1947,
not because she had seen Our
Lady, but because of those he
roic hidden years that followed
the apparitions.
Abbe Englebert tells Cath
erine’s story, including the mar
velous conversion of the Jew,
Alphonse Ratisbonne, by means
of the Miraculous Medal. Then
in Part II of his book, he out
lines briefly seven subsequent
apparitions of Our Lady—-at La
Salette, Lourdes, Pontmain,
Pellevoisin, Fatima, Beauraing,
and Banneux—and in Part III
he sums up the signifcance of
these repeated appearances of
the Mother of God on earth
during the last century plus
thirty years.
They were not the first times
that the Virgin had made her
self visible on earth, he says,
but these, beginning with her
appearance to Catherine in
1830, are linked with the pres
ent because they are intended
to counteract the false natural
ism of modern man who “be
lieves only in those things ap
parent to the senses (who)
places all hope in visible na
ture, and is concerned only
with things here below.” a state
of mind which “has resulted in
systems as diverse as atheism,
agnosticism, pantheism, positiv
ism, determinism, Marvism, ex
istentialism, all of which have
been . . . the vogue in the con
temporary epoch.”
This book, translated from the
French by Alastair Guinan, is
fascinating in its simplicity, yet
thrilling in its fresh revelation
of Our Lady’s efforts to bring
modern man to the love of her
Divine Son.
on the organization and work
ings of the Catholic Church, this
book in its revised form still
has power to point out to the
layman' many facets of the
Church that he may not have
known. The book’s reapperance
last October, just as the 261st
successor to the Apostle Peter
was being elected, was most
timely, since it includes a study
of the Papacy, its role in Church
affairs, and the ancient ritual by
which the Pope is chosen.
Michael Williams was one of
the 20th century’s most distin
guished Catholic laymen, a
newsman and editor. The pres
ent edition, revised by Zsolt
Aradi, journalist, author, and
former diplomat to the : Vatican,
preserves the style of the origi
nal author while taking into ac
count the innumerable changes
which have taken place in the
Church since 1934,
The book discusses many in
teresting facets of the Church,
including the Roman Congrega
tions, the Papal elections, and
the liturgy. Subjects of par
ticular interest to the layman in
clude Catholic Action, the mis
sion field, and Catholic educa
tion.
Notable developments which
have occurred since the book’s
first edition appeared include
the pontificate of Pius XII, the
definition of the dogma of the
Assumption, the relaxation of
the rules for the Eucharistic
fast, the rise of the Secular In
men t of Catholic position on
such contemporary issues as
psychiatric practice, natural
childbirth, labor relations, and
nuclear warfare.
In an entirely new section of
the book, on the Church in
Communist-dominated coun
tries, Aradi states: “Communist
domination . . . has confronted
the Catholic Church with one
of the most powerful adversaries
it has known in the 2000 years
of its history.”
The time spent reading this
book will be well invested.
THE CATHOLIC CHURCH
IN ACTION, by Michael Wil
liams, revised by Zsolt Aradi,
Kenedy, $5.75.
(Reviewed by Michael Patron)
First published in 1934, and
described as the standard work
OUR LADY OF BEAURAING.
by Don Sharkey and Joseph
Debergh, O. M. I. (Hanover
House, $3.75), a selection of the
Catholic Literary Foundation.
At La Salette, in 1846, the
Mother of God wept because of
the sins of the world and said
that she could no longer re
strain the avenging arm of her
Son. At Lourdes, in 1858, she
told Bernadette, “I am the Im
maculate Concept io n,” and
asked for prayers and penance.
At Fatima, in 1917, she again
pleaded for prayers and pen
ance, foretelling calamaties that
would come to the world if her
warning were not heeded.
“Many souls go to hell,” she
told the children of Fatima, “be
cause they have no one to pray
and make sacrifices for them.”
Fifteen years later she ap
peared thirty-three times to five
children in the villiage of
Beauraing, Belgium, sixty miles
southeast of Brussles. Here she
was ‘“the Virgin with the Heart
of Gold,” the merciful mother,
promising, “I will convert sin
ners,” and asking for sacrifices.
Her promise to convert sinners,
the authors of this book believe,
indicates the great power en
trusted to ber by her Son, the
The fellow who never expects
to give other people a square
deal always acts surprised when
he comes out on the short end.
It seems that all people ask is
liberty for themselves, and the
power to regulate the liberty of
others.

Solutions To World Problems
Must Consider Spiritual Needs

federal financial support of pri
vate schools and was against
sending a U. S. ambassador to
the Vatican.
He was also quoted as expres
sing the belief that nothing
takes precedence over the presi-
dental oath to uphold the U. S.
Constitution.
BISHOP G. BROMLEY OX-
NAM of Washington, outgoing
president of the Bishops’ Coun
cil, told reporters that at the last
meeting of the group in 1943
they interviewed several top
government officials just as
they did this time.
Sen. Humphrey, also said to
be among top candidates for the
Democratic presidential nomina
tion, said after his meeting with
the Bishops it was “very cordial
and informative” and that he
found the clergymen in agree
ment for a “more affirmative
line” in foreign policy.
A spokesman for Mr. Nixon
said the Vice President wished
to emphasize that his meeting
with the bishops “was not in
the context of possible nomina
tion by the Republicans for the
presidency.
VATICAN CITY, (NC) — So
lutions to world problems must
take into consideration the
rights and spiritual demands
of each individual, His Holiness
Pope John XXIII said here.
The Pope was addressing
members of the International
Committee for the Scientific
Organization of Labor.
The Pontiff told the interna
tional efficiency experts that
the commandments of the Gos
pels constitute the surest basis
for the successful realization of
every human activity.
There are constant important
and deeprooted questions that
cannot be solved with material
force, he said. Nor can they be
solved by the imposition of heg
emonies of power or of race.
Even if these means succeed in
taking over, the result after the
first effect would be emptiness,
terror and therefore the most
fertile ground for strife and
conflict.
The Pope added that it is
through the saints that it is
easy to go back to the source of
every virtue and perfection,
God. As a result, he concluded,
there is reason to rejoice be
cause humanity, although some
times so distracted and distant,
nevertheless feels the desire and
finds the means to return to the
supreme purpose of its exist
ence.
PERFECT PRIEST SERVES
TRUTH, IS CHARITABLE,
POPE TELLS SEMINARIANS
idea that she is Mediatrix of
All Graces. Mary’s universal
mediation has not yet been de
clared a dogma of the Church,
but it is commonly believed by
theologians and many think it
will be the next dogma to be
proclaimed. Devotion to her Im
maculate Heart is also becoming
widespread. Under this title she
is Patroness of the Diocese of
Atlanta.
The apparitions at Beauraing
took place between November
29, 1932 and January 3, 1933.
They were approved as authen
tic on July 2, 1949,by the Bishop
of Namur, acting by the author
ity of the Holy See and after
sixteen years of the customary
meticulous inquiry. Since that
time pilgrimages to the Belgian
shrine have increased and
spiritual and material favors are
frequently reported.
An interesting sidelight is that
all five of the visionaries of
Beauraing subsequently married
and are rearing families of their
own. None entered the religious
life. “The children followed
what they considered to be their
vocations . . .,” the author says.
“It seems quite possibile that
Our Lady wishes to show us
that marriage is a very impor
tant vocation. . .that her message
is not only to the consecrated
souls but to all of us... ”
Mary’s last words at Beaura
ing were a request for sacrifices,
for love of her Son and herself.
The authors suggest St. Louis
de Montfort’s total consecration
to Mary as “the very best way
to sacrifice ourselves,” and the
Morning Offering as a daily
renewal of the consecration.
This book, the first complete
telling of the story of Beauraing
in English, is simple, almost
journalistic, in style; not a liter
ary masterpiece. The reader’s
reaction is likely to be similar to
that of the people who first
heard of the children’s vision —
beginning with many doubts
and ending with belief and en
thusiasm. After all, since the
Church has investigated and ap
proved the cult of Our Lady of
Beauraing, there is no reason
not to believe.
VATICAN CITY (Radio, NC)
-—Spanish seminarians in Rome,
the papal Palatine Guard and
domestic workers of Rome were
granted special audience by His
Holiness Pope John XXIII.
The 120 Spanish seminarians
attended a morning Mass offer
ed by the Pope in the Matilde
chapel of the Apostolic Palace.
In a brief discourse the Pope
told them that the perfect priest
is one who “serves truth and
performs charity.”
In receiving the Spanish sem
inarians, the Pope resumed his
practice, after a month’s inter
ruption, of inviting various
groups of seminarians from
Rome’s national colleges to at
tend his Sunday Mass.
The 1,500 domestic workers
were received, the Pope said,
with special joy because they
are of humble station and be
cause their work is so closely
akin to the life of Christ.
The Pontiff quoted Christ’s
words: “The Son of Man also
has not come to be served but
to serve . .
Pope John said that a life
of service, if done in a Christian
spirit and in imitation of Christ,
can be a means of spiritual per
fection.
“If you discharge your du
ties in this spirit, you are bless
ed, because you do not serve
men but God,” he said. “You
are blessed because with the
example and grace of God and
with the example and protec
tion of Mary you can perfect
your actions and yourselves.”
The Pope called the women
domestic workers “apostles in
the hearts of the families who
employ you.” He recommended
to them devotion to the imita
tion of SS. Blandina and Zita,
Blessed Maria Taigi, and espe
cially the Blessed Mother.
In receiving the Palatine
Guard, led by Cmdr. (Count)
Francesco Cantuti Castelvetri,
the Pope praised the corps as a
perfect example of the coopera
tion of the laity in the aposto-
late of the hierarchy.
Taking note of the high posi
tion the guards hold in the serv
ice of the papacy, he said: “One
post or another does not count,
however, in the eyes of the just
Lord, but what does count es
sentially is a pure conscience,
that voice which is enlightened
and sustained bv Him, and the
performance of charity practic
ed in every quarter.”
