knows (a simple telephone call
to the rectory can confirm one’s
impression as a thelogical mat
ter, for example), in Composing
the letter, one should not
hesitate to make use of
authoritative quotations, since
they swiftly give the lie
to falsehood and half-truths.
Thus in a current Saturday
Evening Post Letters Column,
a writer summarily dismisses
one author’s absurd assumptions
regarding the so-called “mother
or the children dilemma”—ac
tually it is a myth—by quoting
directly from the words of Pope
Pius XII,
SECONDLY, letters to editors
should be charitable as well as
correct. Certainly, the use of
cynicism, sarcasm and similar
devices should be scrupulously
avoided. For that matter, it
would be stupid to resort to
such means when proceeding
against articles founded upon
ignorance of fact. For there is
no more final, thoroughly level
ing argument than the absolute
rejection of the very premises
upon which a misinformed
writer has chosen to build what
he erroneously thought was a
solid case.
LETTERS SHOULD ALSO
be direct and concise. Oftimes
it is sufficient to demonstrate
an author’s inaccuracy on a sin
gle issue, in. order to cast doubt
on his entire thesis.
Writing letters to editors can
be an important apostolate, in
that the dissemination of truth
and contradiction of error is
unquestionably a meritorious
work, provided that it is pur
sued in charity, humility and
justice; and, of course, for the
greater honor and glory of God.

Theology for
The Layman
(Continued from Page 4)
ing in Plis power the things He
had done for men in His body,
as he wants them done now.
The first strong hint is in the
changing of his name from
Simon to Peter, which means
Rock, with the meaning of the
change made clear to Matthew
(XVI, 17-20)—“Thou art Peter
and upon this rock I will build
my Church ...” If you do not
know the words by memory,
reread the passage now.
Read too what Our Lord said
to Peter at the Last Supper
(Luke XXIII, 28-32). We may
concentrate here upon the
words in which Christ makes
Peter to be the shepherd of the
flock (John XXI, 15-18). in
three phrases Peter is told that
he must feed the lambs and the
sheep: which involves a com
mand to the whole flock to be
fed by him. But with what
food?
Three times Our Lord speaks
of food. To the Devil tempting
Him He quotes Deuteronomy:
“Man does not live by bread
alone but by every word that
proceeds from the mouth of
God:” so what God speaks is
food.
To His disciples urging Him
to eat (John IV. 34), He says
“My meat is to do the will of
Him that sent me”—so the
divine law is food.
And to the multitude whom
He had fed with five loaves and
two fishes He had said (John
VI. 55) “The man who eats my
flesh and drinks my blood en
joys eternal life, and I will
raise him up at the last day:”
so His body and blood are food.
With Truth and Law and sac
rament Peter must see to it that
we are fed—Peter and the men
who one by one shall succeed
him as shepherds till the end of
time.
Yet not by their own power.
After each of the commissions
He gave to Peter Our Lord add
ed a rebuke. In Matthew XVI,
He says to Peter “Get thee be
hind me Satan,” for Peter was
urging Him not to go to Jerusa
lem and suffer. In Luke XXII,
there is almost worse: “before
the cock crows, thou shalt deny
me thrice.” And there is. a
strange phrase near the end of
John XXI “What is it to thee?”
Peter became a saint; many
of his successors have been
canonised too; many startle us
by the small show of sanctity.
So with bishop and priests. We
rejoice in the evidently holy,
we may be sad at others. But
the power in which, by which,
we live is never theirs. It is al
ways Christ’s. It is Christ we
join when we join the Church,
not the man who at any given
moment direct it here upon
earth. The gifts come to us
through them: but always from
Him.
Most people find it easy to
look at the bright side of life
as long as it is turned their
way.

have been solved with prejudic
ed solutions which in the future
would constitute a force per
haps too great to overcome, and
would present further obstacles
to the evangelization of the
world.
“It is in the field of public
activity that the laity of mis
sion countries have their most
direct and preponderant activi
ty, and it is necessary to see
with the greatest timeliness and
urgency that the Christian com
munities offer to their earthly
countries, for their common
good, men who may honor the
various professions and activi
ties at the same time as they
honor of their solid Christian
life the Church that has regen
erated them through grace . . .
“In particular in the field of
the problems of the organiza
tion of the school, or organized
social assistance, or work, or
political life, the presence of
native Catholic eexperts will
have the most happy and bene
ficial influence ... so long as
they base their intentions and
their actions on Christian prin
ciples which long history shows
to be efficient and decisive in
achieving the common good.”
Pope John extended his ap
peal not only to Catholics in
mission lands but “also to all
those lay Catholics wherever
they emeerge in the professions
and in public life, that they may
seriously consider the possibili
ty of helping their newly ac
quired brothers, even without
leaving their country. Their ad
vice, their experience, their
technical assistance will be .able
without excessive labor and
without serious discomfort to
make a sometimes decisive con
tribution.”
The Pope asked bishops
throughout the world to take
care of young people who come
to their countries to study. He
reminded them that these stu
dents are living in a society that
is strange to them. He asked
that they assign priests and lay
men to work at finding these
students and at protecting their
faith.
In conclusion the Pope ex
pressed his gratitude toward
“all those who dedicate them
selves to the cause of the prop
agation of the Faith ... to the
dear missionaries of the regu
lar and diocesan clergy, to the
women Religious so exemplarily
generous and so valuable for the
need of the missions, to lay mis
sionaries who readily run to the
frontiers of the Faith ... to ail
the Bishops, clergy and faithful
of the dioceses of the whole
world who contribute .. with
prayers and offerings to the spi
ritual and material needs of the
missions.”
He addressed a particular
word of comfort to the. Church
of Silence:
“To the holy pastors who give
their spiritual sons the example
of a Faith that does not bend
and a faithfulness that does
not yield even at the price of
sacrificing life; to the faithful
thus so sorely tried but so dear
to the Hear of Jesus Christ who
has promised happiness and
copious mercy to those who suf
fer persecution for justice’s
sake, We address Our exhorta
tion to persevere in their holy
fight. For the Lord, always mer
ciful in His inscrutable designs,
will not leave them without the
help of the most percious graces
and of intimate consolation.
With the persecuted there is, in
the communion of prayer and
sufferings, the whole Church of
God, sure in the expectation of
victory.”
