Name Coadjutor
For Buenos Aires
VATICAN CITY, (NO—Arch
bishop Fermin Lafitte of Cordoba,
who has been Apostolic Admini
strator of the Archdiocese of Bue
nos Aires since the spring of 1956,
has been named Coadjutor with
the right of succession to that
See of three million Catholics, it
was announced.
In naming him . as the future
successor of His Eminence Santi
ago Cardinal Copello as Arch
bishop of Buenos Aires, His Holi
ness Pope Pius XII transferred
Archbishop Lafitte from his post
as Ordinary of the Cordoba arch
diocese to that of Titular Arch
bishop of Antioch in Pisidia.
Archbishop Lafitte, now 69, was
named Apostolic Administrator of
Buenos Aires in April, 1956, in
the wake of the revolution which
had caused the downfall of the
Argentine dictator Juan Peron.
Cardinal Copello, who was 76 at
the time, had been ailing during
much of the preceding year of
crisis, and the Archbishop’s orig
inal appointment was announced
as the Cardinal arrived home
from a long stay in Rome.

BOOKS FOR CHILDREN
Two additions to the Christian
Child's Stories series (Bruce, 50c
each) are:
THE BONG-BONG PRINCESS,
by Sister Mary Francis Assisi,
C. S. A., a lively story about a
mischievous 3-year-old princess
and her three brothers, with gay
illustrations in color by Sister
Mary Donald, C. S. A.;
MY LITTLE BOOK OF
THANKS, by Sister Maryanna,
O. P., simple “thank You, dear
Lord!” verses for everything from
the wonders of nature to teachers
and priests, playmates and par
ents, angels and saints, Blessed
Mother, Baby Jesus, and the Holy
Trinity, with charming colored
pictures by June Roberts.
Another book for young readers
(Ages 8 to 10) is:
RING AROUND THE ROSARY,
by Msgr. J. D. Fitzgerald (Bruce,
$2.00), reviewed by Sister Mary
Alberta. Monsignor Fitzgerald has
brought forth the beauty and
depth of the mysteries of the
rosary in his newest publication.
Told in the everyday language
of a child, each of the mysteries
is clarified by an entertaining
character. The parables are so
appealing that they are sure to
be recalled over and over again.
Only in later years will the child
appreciate the profound theology
wrapped up in these capricious
characters.
Not only for the young readers
should this book be a treasure,
but also for the teacher of pri
mary grades or the priest search
ing for naive examples for chil
dren’s instructions in religion.
Here is a simplified method of
meditating on the mysteries of
the rosary as the child learns
"Mary’s favorite prayer.”
For teen-agers:
THE OTHER SIDE OF THE
MOON, by Meriol Trevor (Sheed
& Ward, $3.00), reviewed by
Peggy Lloyd. When the crew of
the rocket, Moondart, began their
trip, they were under the im
pression that the moon was a
crater-pitted planet with little or
no life. When they reached their
destination they found there was
another side, a side filled with
wonder and beauty and all that
is good. The author describes the
peaceful city of Corduluc, where
there was no greed or crime; and
the barren, lifeless side inhabited
by those who were inclined
toward evil; showing the effects
of the two cities on the members
of the rocket crew. The struggle
between the two cities is sym
bolic of the struggle of mankind.
This imaginative story may be
interesting to adults as well as
delightfully fresh and enjoyable
to teen-agers.

Evans, O. P. (Fides, 95c).
(Reviewed by Cecilia L, Hines)
The theme of this little paper
back is the life and the prayer
of the Church. It is a short book,
only 80 pages, and most of the
material has appeared previously
in The Tablet, Blackfriars, or The
Life of the Spirit. Every now and
then some alert editor of a Cath
olic newspaper or magazine
quotes from articles by the author,
who is Prior of St. Dominic’s
Priory in London.
The main theme which runs
through the book like the leit
motif of a symphony never de
viates from its objective. The
thoughts presented make no at
tempt to prove or argue about the
truths that Catholics believe;
rather they show what being a
Catholic really means. The lan
guage is profoundly simple, the
context devoutly practical and
clearly stated. Christian charity,
as it should be exemplified, is
treated so that it permeates the
mind and heart of the reader
without confusing him.
Listen to Father Evans: “The
Mystical Body of Christ is one
because He is one.” “It is the
function of the liturgy, not mere
ly to express mystery, but to make
it known and loved and shared.”
Writing like this cannot help but
make the Church and her teach
ing nearer and more meaningful
to all who seek to know God, to
serve Him, and to be happy for
ever with Him in heaven.
THE SACRED HEART IN THE
LIFE OF THE CHURCH, by
Margaret Williams RSC.I (Sheed
& Ward, $3.75).
(Reviewed by Rev.
John Schroder, S. J.)
Here is an historical description
of the origin and development of
the devotion to the Sacred Heart
of Jesus. This devotion did not
begin at a late period in the
Church’s history, but has existed
from the beginning. “We know,
therefore,” said Pope Pius XII,
“that the devotion whereby we
pay homage to Jesus Christ’s love
for men through the august sign
of the wounded Heart of the Re
deemer nailed to the cross has
never been entirely unknown to
Christian piety.”
Quotations of those who wrote
most and best on the subject, in
cluding popes and saints of
various., centuries?;,' * are • carefully
documented in this book.
MAN AND HIS HAPPINESS
. . . VOL. Ill, Theology Library
($6.50); THE VIRTUES AND
STATES OF LIFE . , . VOL. IV,
Theology Library ($8.75); both
edited by A. M. Henry, O.P.,
(Fides).
Webster defines theology as
“religious knowledge and belief,
esp. when methodically formulat
ed.” The classic specimen, of
course, is St. Thomas’ unfinished
colossus, the Summa Thso-
loaica. Such a nice piece
of “methodical formulation”
was this that to our time
theology compilers have their
pattern cut out for them. Indeed,
after Aquinas, all else seems a
little anti-climactic. However,
ti17i.es change and problems, wob-
dev
ils, emerge in new lights with
apparently strange faces. This
calls for revamped evaluations
and fresh applications of ancient
rules; sometimes it calls for a
thing as simple as a change in the
gears of writing style. According
ly, the Theology Library, written
within the past ten years by a
group of French Dominican scho
lars, and now being presented in
English translation by Fides, fills
a conspicious gap. St. Thomas
did not deal with Sigmund Freud
nor with a jack rabbit culture
driven by the complex demands
of a wildly multiplied knowledge
to require the minimum explana
tion of the maximum subject. The
present Theology Library takes
these diverse problems and count
less related developments into ac
count. Volumes I and II were
published prior to last year, with
Volumes V and VI yet to come.
The two books most recently
published by themselves repre
sent the authorship of approxi
mately twenty-two persons, a 11
working under Father A. M. Hen
ry, General Editor of the Theolo
gy Library. In context these two
correspond to the Second Part
of St. Thomas’ Summa, a section
which deals with “moral theolo
gy.” They are companion vol
umes, Volume III stressing the
fundamental norms, or generali
ties, of morality; Volume VI ex
pands to touch on the particular
act, or isolated instance, as it may
be seen by exhaustive discussions
of the three theological and four
cardinal virtues. Though bound
closely to the other four volumes
of this set, these two may be read
independently with unhampered
benefit and satisfaction as the
topics discussed and conclusions
shown do not require a know
ledge of the related volumes to
be understood.
The present English translation
in six uniform volumes is under
the direction of Louis J. Putz,
C.S.C., of the University of Notre
Dame. The spirit and design of
this edition do him credit. Consid
ering the large number of authors,
the text is remarkable for the har
mony and lucidity of the style
of the writing.
Any passage, picked at. random,
is characteristically direct and
simple, speaking worlds not only
for the authors and translators,
but for the good strong rein that
guided them.

WAR AND CHRISTIANITY
TODAY, by Francis Stratmann,
O.P., (Newman, $3.00).
(Reviewed by Elizabeth Hester)
This translation by John Doe-
bele from the original German
text by Father Stratmann is
probably a good one, a conclusion
that derives from the peculiar
vividness with which a reader
can feel the author’s personality.
War and Christianity Today is
not remarkable for style, wit, or
the unique nature of its author’s
ideas, but Father Stratmann’s en
thusiasm for his subject is as res-
iliently bounding as adolesence;
almost, from time to time, the
reader feels like pausing while a
cheer leader and chorus scream
from the sidelines, “Yeeeeaaa . . .
go, team, GO!!!”
In actual context, Father Strat
mann’s book supports a very lib
eral stance, coinciding at many
points with views more generally
associated with humanists than
with Catholics. This is not to say
that his views are not Catholic,
but, rather, the inference is that
occasionally the extreme rightist
quality of many Catholics’ views
are not always demonstrably
Christian. Within this loose con
fine, then, the German priest calls
for outlawing the use of atomic
and hydrogen bombs (even as re
taliatory weapons). He heartily
supports the United Nations, look
ing to it as the strongest political
force available for the ameliora
tion of war-prone situations. The
one point, however, which the
entire work leads to again and
again is. Father Stratmann’s urg
ent insistence on the necessity
of the individual’s thinking, eval
uating, and acting as an individu
al and a Christian. He asserts that
the masses never desire war, that
wars are the machinations of a
power-seeking few who compel
the masses. who, in turn, more
often than not, re-act with blind
obedience, giving, according to
Father Stratmann, considerably
more to Caesar than is Caesar’s
due. (One feels the priest’s un
happy and immediate memory of
a Germany which blindly made a
demigod of a , phychopathic
housepainter.) His point, of
course, is well made. One is only
left to wonder, how to fill the
masses with this individual re
sponsibility which, apparently,
they want no more than they
want wars? We do not' suggest
there is no solution; rather, the
point being made is that prob
ably the solution Father Strat
mann has arrived at has notice
ably by-passed some vital stages
of a yet very much unresolved
problem.

Misuse Of Mo
Power Kurts U.S.
(N.C.W.C. News Service)
NOTRE DAME, Ind. — The
United Nations is “gravely handi
capped” by the Soviet Union’s
misuse of the veto power in the
Security Council, Sir Pierson Dix
on, permanent representative of
the United Kingdom to the UN,
declared here.
The veteran British diplomat
conceded that the United Nations
was able to halt aggression in
Korea. This was possible, he said
“only because by a tactical mis
calculation the Soviet delegation
was absent from the Security
Council and therefore not able
to impose its veto when the im
portant decision was taken. This
was an accident which we cannot
count on being repeated.”
Sir Pierson, who has headed
Britain’s delegation to the UN
since 1954, discussed “Diplomacy
at the United Nations” in a lec
ture sponsored by the University
of Notre Dame’s committee on in
ternational relations.
“The Soviet line is to play on
the fear of war,” Sir Pierson as
serted. In the last few months, he
noted, “they have intensified
their propaganda effojt by capi
talizing on their remarkable ad
vances in science and by alternat
ing peace propaganda with intim
idation.”
He admitted that Russia’s
peaceful co-existence slogan “has
some appeal and wins some sup
port” among the so-called un
committed countries. But he in
sisted that “peace is something
that has to be striven for; it is not
something that can be bought by
a paper agreement or by a slo
gan.”
The British diplomat also con
tended that the’.aims of the UN
charter have been “distorted” in
favor of anti-colonialism and ul
tra-nationalism.
“Soviet propagandists represent
themselves,” Sir Pierson said, “as
the great anti-eolonialists and
supporters of nationalistic move
ments. The object is to play on
the conditions of the emergent
countries of Asia and Africa and
to fan prejudices which do not in
fact correspond to the realities of
the world.”
“The facts are,” he continued,
“that the United States is con
tributing to the progress of un
derdeveloped countries in a sig
nificant and disinterested way
and Britain for the past century
and more has been leading the
dependent parts of her empire
to independence. The Soviet Un
ion, on the other hand, has ac
quired and consolidated an im
perial hold over people of non-
Russian races both in central
Asia and in Eastern Europe.”
Sir Pierson argued, too, that
the United Nations, in the opinion
of many,, applied “a double.stand-
ard behavior” in dealing with
the Suez and Hungarian crises,
resulting in “a grave and perhaps
fatal weakening of its moral
strength.”
Despite its deficiencies and lim
itations, the United Nations is
“a most valuable institution,” Sir
Pierson emphasized.
“If it had not been in existence
during the past 12 years,” he
said, “the international situation
would be graver today.”
United Nations debate on con
troversial issues can often bring
the pressure of world opinion to
bear where it is needed, Sir Pier
son noted. However, he pointed
out, “a problem which might be
solved by the old fashioned
methods of private unpublicized
diplomacy often becomes intract
able when debated in the UN.”
“Private diplomacy is not only
unfashionable, it has come to be
regarded as positively immoral,”
Sir Pierson observed. “Private
diplomacy smells of secret di
plomacy and secret diplomacy is
plotting behind people’s backs.
Covenants are often not achieved
at all if they have to be reached
through the medium of public de
bate.”

Condemns Those
Who Use Church
For Ambitions
(Radio, N.C.W.C. News Service)
ROME, — Catholics in public
life who use the Church to further
their own ambitions have been
sharply criticized by an Italian
Cardinal.
They were denounced by His
Eminence Alfredo Cardinal Ot-
taviani, Pro-Secretary of the
Sacred Congregation of the Holy
Office, in an article in II Quotid-
iano, Rome’s Catholic Action
daily.
The article — one of a series
explaining the Church’s stand
prior to Italy’s coming national
election — has been attacked by
communist leaders who have in
terpreted a part of it as an illegal
interference in the nation’s in
ternal affairs.
Cardinal Ottaviani singled out
for blame office holders in Cath
olic countries who betray their
religious convictions. He said:
“Certain men, who have been
entrusted by Catholics with the
mandate to protect in public life
the Christian principles proclaim
ed by their organizations, often
show in practice that they have
their own ambitions, political
success or social position more at
heart than the progress toward a
better world in which the Church
seeks to lead humanity.”
Mentioning no names, the Card
inal continued:
“There are even some Catholics
invested with political power
who dare take the side of those
who not only offend the Church
but plainly massacre her. And
meanwhile they use priests as
tools in their dealings with pow
erful men and thus create
throughout the country a feeling
of weariness toward the men of
eternity who are turned into
agents of temporal matters.”
Cardinal Ottaviani did not
mention the names of the coun
tries to which he referred, say
ing only “they are large, they are
entire continents.”
His article, however, was at
tacked as interference in Italian
political affairs by a group of
communist senators, including
Sen. Celeste Negarville, who re
cently headed a delegation of
Italian Peace Partisans who vis
ited Soviet Foreign Minister An
drei Gromyko in Moscow.
The senators asked Premier
Adone Zoli if “the threatening
statements made publicly by
Cardinal Ottaviani . . . against
the opinions expressed by a mem
ber of the Council of Ministers
(cabinet) concerning diplomatic
issues and problems pertaining to
the foreign policy of the Italian
state” were compatible with the
constitutional provision saying
that “the State and Church are
each independent and sovereign
in their own right.”
The Reds were apparently in
terpreting a part of the Cardinal’s
article as an attack on Sen. Dino
Del Bo, Christian Democrat who
recently advocated a neutralist
policy; toward the Soviet Union.
Sen. Del Bo is the cabinet mini
ster in charge of relations be
tween the cabinet: and Parlia
ment.
Vatican Radio said in answer
to the communist attack that the
Reds had “willfully altered the
meaning” of the Cardinal’s ar
ticle which merely coincided with
the “Del Bo case.” It added that
the Cardinal was addressing all
Catholics in an attempt to make
them show a greater sense of re
sponsibility at a time when the
Church is under attack.
The Rome daily, Messaggero,
stated that although Cardinal Ot
taviani was not referring to par
ticular cases, he must have
meant to include Sen. Del Bo in
his condemnation.
