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. QUESTION BOX (Continued from Page 4) 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). Inclusion Of (Continued from Page 4) 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. by Mass.

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- IT IS A PLEASURE TO SERVE YOU COMMERCIAL PRINTING OFFICE SUPPLIES — SOCIAL STATIONERY GLOVER PRINTING & STATIONERY CO., ING. • We Have A Quick Delivery Service Retail Slalionery Store • Modern Printing Plant VISIT US IN OUR NEW HOME PHONE AM. 5-4590 1212 BAY ST.
