STE. ANNE DE BEAUPRE,
Que., (NC) — An estimated
100,000 pilgrims gathered at the
Shrine of St. Anne here for an
nual ceremonies marking her
feast day.
On the eve of the feast, Arch
bishop Maurice Roy of Quebec,
Primate of Canada, officiated at
Pontifical Vespers in the shrine.
The ceremony was followed by
a torchlight procession in
which thousands took part, and
ing priests offered Masses con
tinuously at the great church’s
many altars from five a. m. to
noon. Some 10,000 people
crowded the shrine for a Pon
tifical Mass offered by Arch-
bisliop Sebastiano Baggio, Apos
tolic Delegate to Canada.
During the afternoon, Arch
bishop Baggio performed the
ceremony of the blessing of the
sick, carrying the Blessed Sac
rament to hundreds of pilgrims
who bad come to the snrme in
cots and wheelchairs.
Further ceremonies were fol
lowed by anotner great torch
light procession in which thous
ands participated.'
The Shrine of St. Anne was
founded three centuries ago,
when a group of sailors from
Brittany and Normandy, ship
wrecked near here, vowed to
establish a chapel in honor of
St. Anne if they survived.
Their prayers were answered
and in gratitude they built a
small church on the site occu
pied today by the huge basilice-
shrine.
The shrine is one of the best
known pilgrimage centers in
North America. It is visited by
an estimated two million pil
grims each year. Many cures
judged miraculous after inves
tigation have been recorded at
the shrine.

is quite difficult to justify.
Again, however, if it were pos
sible for one to nullify the com
mon dangers proximate to
blind dating (by ascertaining
the person’s background, mari
tal status, character, etc.) it
would not be forbidden in it
self. But there might be a ques
tion here of imprudence, or at
least, of impropriety.

Q. Who is the patron saint of
sailors?
A. St. Brendan, whose feast is
May 16, is generally invoked as
the patron of sailors. According
to local traditions* however,
many other saints have been
adopted by sailors as their pa
trons. Another is St. Erasmus
(June 2).
St. Erasmus is also known as
St. Elmo. The blue electrical
light on the masts and riggings
of ships after a! storm is called
“St. Elmo’s Light” or “St. El
mo’s Fire.”
Q. Recently I read an article
about a bishop's condemning
"bathing beauty contests." Are
these contests so immoral as to
warrant such a sweeping pub
lic condemnation?
A. “Bathing-beauty contests”
cannot be justified by any
Christian standards of morality.
The fact that a particular bish
op’s specific condemnation of
the practice evokes a measure
of surprise on the part of some
is indicative of the toll the phi
losophy of materialism has tak
en in modern Christian society.
Certainly no Catholic girl
may take part in so-called
“bathing beauty contests.” Nor
may any Catholic participate in
them in any way, i.e., by spon
soring them, attending them,
condoning them, etc.
Theology for
The Layman
(Continued from Page 4)
living through the anguished
questioning of the apostles in
the three years they were with
Him. At one moment they felt
He must be more than man; then
the feeling would fade only to
return stronger, and perhaps
fade again, but always revive.
Our Lord does not tell them
at the beginning. The truth that
the carpenter with whom they
now lived so familiarly, whom
they saw hungry and thirsty and
weary, was the God by whom
all things were made, was not
one to be tossed casually to them
or hurled violently at them.
These men truly believed in
God, had God’s infinite majesty
as the very background of all
their lives. They must be made
ready to receive a. truth which,
presented too suddenly, would
have shattered them.
So Our Lord does not tell
them at once. It is hardly an
exaggeration to say that he
brings them to the point where
they tell His — to Peter’s “Thou
art the Christ, the Son of the
Living God” (Matthew XVI), to
Thomas’s “My Lord and my
God” (John XX). Yet, from time
to time, He did make statements
which could only be a claim to
be God.
Quite early came “No one
knows the Son but the Father,
and on one knows the Father
but the Son” (Mt. XI.27, Luke
X.22). This is a statement of
equality (and if you glance back
at Number 13 of this series, you
will see that it is precisely the
Father’s knowledge which gen
erates the Son). Here and there
as the story proceeds come other
statements — note especially
“Before Abraham was made, I
am” (John VHL58), and “The
Father and I are one” (John
X.30).
The apostles heard these
things: heard Him forgiving sins
and supplementing the law God
had given to Moses, always as
one having in Himself total
authority: saw the miracles
which were the divine guarantee
of His message. Yet they
hesitated.
Knowing the answer, we may
tend to marvel at their slowness.
But, as so often happens, what
kept them from the answer was
that they phrased the question
wrongly. They came to ask “Was
He man or was He God?” So
much evidence for each possi
bility: and how were they to
know that He was both? Who
would have known that as a pos
sibility, if it had not happened?
What indeed does it mean, that
one person should be man and
God? The Theology of the Incar
nation must be our next con
sideration, what it means that
the Word became Flesh. Never
think of this as mere theology,
a proper occupation for learned
men, but to remote for us. Till
we have entered deeply into it,
we shall understand anything
Our Lord said, or did, we shall
not have the beginning of under
standing of our own Redemption
(A useful preparation would be
to re-read what is said of person
and nature in Numbers 11 and
12).

sensitive peoples, such as the
Africans and Asians, are primed
to accept the Soviet argument
which runs like this:
“The imperialists want to
cut down your growth because
they are afraid of your increas
ing numbers and because of the
inadequacy of their economic
system. We shall feed you no
matter what your numbers are.
“The imperialists tell your
government that your country
is overpopulated and cannot be
fed. They tell you that to eat,
to live, to progress, many of
you must be kept off the earth.
Yet, they talk about their own
surplus food ‘problem’ and their
luxurious standard of living.” .
This strikes many as a per
suasive argument against the
U. S. to present to the under
developed nations of the world,
especially the so-called uncom
mitted peoples and those caught
in the excitement and tension
of a newly found nationalism.

THE BULLETIN, August 22, 1959—PAGE 5
Few persons today, Catholics
especially, wish to ignore or
minimize the problem of popu
lation pressure in some parts of
the world. Many believe that
U. S. public opinion is the cru
cial factor in how these pres
sures are to be eased, since this
country must take the lead in
aiding the poorer nations.
For this reason and others,
Catholics should join others
seeking a positive, optimistic
approach to population prob
lems.
What seems needed first is
the development of a sense of
human solidarity that would en
able positive forces of the
world to meet the problem to
gether, delving into areas of
study such as migration, meth
ods to increase acreage yields,
the impact of atomic energy on
economic development, conver-
