Speaking in English, the Pope said that the Church’s libraries, museums, and universities prove that “dogma is not afraid of science.” On the contrary, he told the Americans, it holds “all scholar ly progress as dear to her heart” as a means of helping the Church in “her mission of bringing all people to knowledge of Him who is the authority of all wisdom.” The Pontiff praised the ex change of students and scholars and he extended his Apostolic Blessing to all those present, many of whom had traveled from all parts of Italy to meet the Pope. Looking vigorous, the Pope chatted with the leaders of the group, Marshall W. S. Swan, cul tural attache of the U. S. Embas sy in Rome, and Phillip J. Con- oly, deputy director of the U. S. Information Service, and their wives. Among the exchange students present was Father Zachary O. O’Friel, O.F.M., of St. Bonaven- ture College, N. Y., who is study ing nuclear physics at Padua, Ita ly. Owen Chamberlain, noted physicist of the University of Cal ifornia at Berkley, was among the exchange professors who attend ed the audience. Father Walter L. Flaherty, di rector of radio and television for the Boston archdiocese, was also present for the audience. The Fuibright group later visit ed the North American College in Rome where they were greeted by Bishop Martin J. O’Connor.

Dr. Francis M. Rogers, Harvard professor of romance languages and former dean of the Harvard graduate school, spoke at a re gional meeting of Delta Epsilon Sigma, national Catholic honor society at Assumption College. He and Bishop John J. Wright of Worcester were inducted as the first members of Gamma The ta Chapter, the society’s new chapter-at-large whose member ship will comprise scholars who were not inducted into Delta Ep silon Sigma during their under graduate days. Dr. Rogers listed the “missed opportunities” as the insufficient “education of our youth for re sponsible world citizenship”; “the failure on the part of our great colleges and universities to cooperate with the Department of State and the United States In formation Agency in their tre mendously important work of BOOK REVIEWS EDITED BY EILEEN HALL 3087 Old Jonesboro Road, Hapeville, Georgia University Cleaners & Laundry IF YOU ARE PLEASED.

THE ROMAN CATACOMBS AND THEIR MARTYRS, by Lud wig Hertling, S.J., and Englebert Kirschbaum, S.J., (Bruce, $3.50). (Reviewed by Elizabeth Hester) Recently translated by M. Jos eph Castelloe, S.J., from a Ger man text originally published in 1950 (but since partially revised to include recent conclusions con cerning the archeological findings beneath the main altar at St. Peter’s in Rome), this is a satisfy- ng little expose for the mildly curious. Attractively bound and printed, it also has a particularly pleasing set of diagrams and photographs, permitting the read er some graphic concept of al most every item which is dis cussed at any length in the text. For all those who have (as I did) a hazy Sunday-tabloid mem ory of whole families of harassed Christians hiding out from lions and Nero for years on end in the catacombs, this work will set you faith, is often no more than a pos sibility. It is, in part, the realiza tion of the modern condition that makes all of Monsignor Guardi- ni’s work so vital. MARY LEONE McNEFF, D. O. OSTEOPATHIC PHYSICIAN Bnrkhrad Theatre Street Floor Entrance 3112 Roswell K<J. — CE. 3-8301 straight quickly and unceremoni ously. Or, if you want definite assurance that it is Peter and no other who has lain these centu ries under St. Peter’s main altar, The Roman Catacombs will give you little comfort. Unexpectedly, the most inter esting section of this book is its final part. Here, through several chapters, the authors discuss the manner in which the ancients practised their religion, as this information is implied by the scant art work found on and about the earliest tombs. They indicate, for example, that the first Christians were more ab sorbed with the Lord as triumph ant God than they were concern ed with His humanity; this is inferred because, although count less replicas of the Good Shep herd and of the multiplication of the loaves have been found, not so much as one crucifixion scene has turned up. By mute evidence of this type the general temper of the religious attitudes of the first and second centuries are pieced together. The unusual fas cination of this section of the book undoubtedly lies in its fresh revelation of what other peoples have done with what, after all, is identically the same religion we ourselves follow today; through their difference in em phasis we reopive abruptly a totally new vision of a timeless face.

PRAYER IN PRACTICE, by Ro m a n o Guardini (Pantheon, $3.50). (Reviewed by Flannery O’Connor) Although he speaks in general terms, Monsignor Guardini makes the major emphasis of this book on prayer its purpose and prac tice by the individual. He is a writer accutely sensitive to the personal in religious problems and he points out that the only purpose of discipline in prayer is to safeguard its freedom. “The sincerer it is, the less can we pre scribe how it should be done; it assumes the form appropriate to the individual’s inner condition, to his experience, and the circum stances in which he stands.” This being the case, he makes it clear that many of the prayers found in current prayer books are not only useless to the development of the life of prayer but positive ly harmful. “Many of these prayers are simply superfluous; others affect our spirit as bad food affects our body. Prayer . . . must above all be truthful.” He speaks of having a “sense of honor” in prayer, a sense which will be offended by the mawk ish, sentimental and exaggerated. He also reminds the reader that “In the writings of the saints we frequently come across strong passages expressing self-contempt and self-abasement. These . . . must be understood ... as ex pressions of the personality of the saint. They cannot be held as applying to all conditions of life, nor must they be interpreted as forming part of the basic atti tude and mood of Christian life.” From a discussion of oral prayer, he goes on to consider contemplative prayer and the re lation of faith to prayer. He dis cusses the problem of those whose faith is so insufficient that they cannot pray with sincerity. His concerns are very much for the problems of modern man, in whom JAPANESE EDITION THE MAN WHO GOT EVEN WITH GOD, Father Raymond’s perennially popular biography ol John Green Hanning, is to have : Japanese edition. Work on the translation will begin soon at Our Lady of the Lighthouse Trappist Monastery in Japan. The book has been reprinted in seven languages and the American edi lion has gone into eighteen print ings. COME SOUTH WIND, edited by M. L. Shrady (Pantheon, $3.00) (Reviewed by Flannery O'Connor) This is a collection of writings by various contemplatives rang ing from St. Augustine to Martin D’ Arcy, S. J., who also contri butes an introduction. In this he remarks about the sense of family likeness that he felt between the selections in the book. The reader too may be struck by this but may wonder if it is altogether a virtue Thomas Merton is represented five times, while St. Teresa of Avila is not included. Ruysbroeck Tauler, and Eckhart are well represented but St. Thomas Apuinas has not managed ,t,o get in. The emphasis would seem to be on the mystic whose express ion tends to poetry. Since the anthology does not claim to be comprehensive and the selections are dependent on the taste of the editor, no justified complaint can be made; nevertheless, one won ders about, any anthology of con templative writings in which there are no selections from St. Catherine of Siena, St Catherine of Genoa, or St. Teresa of Avila. THE BULLETUT, February 22, 1955 — PAG* oh. QUEEN OF THE UNIVERSE. edited by Stanley G. Mathews, S. M. (Grail, $4.00). (Reviewed by Elizabeth Hester) Divided into two parts, the one dealing with the 1950 definition of the dogma-of the Assumption and the other with the institution in 1954 of the feast of the Queen- ship, this book is at once a cele bration and a justification of the new dogma and feast. It includes one bull, two radio addresses, and several encyclicals by Pius XII. Additionally, there are dis sertations by about eighteen churchmen, plus one item each by Frances Parkinson Keyes and the late Caryll Houselander. Lest the Keyes and House lander entries delude the unwary into the assumption that this is light reading for casual hour: they should be warned. For the most part, Queen of the Universe is documentation gathered from authors who are more dis tinguished for scholarship and emotionalism than for belles- lettres. But as a reference work, this book has very considerable merit; it should be used accord ingly. cultural relations abroad”; “the failure of our educational system (in) the teaching of geography,” and “the conscious preparation” of college teachers in adequate numbers. What a wonderful opportuni ty Catholic colleges have to do good,” Dr. Rogers declared. “You are the heirs of a glorious tradi tion of international affairs, of contact and mutual respect be tween East and West, of yes, lan guage and area studies. As Cath olics you have the world view by definition, and so inevitably re spect geography; and you have a time-perspective and so cultivate history.” Catholic colleges and universi ties have the tradition of inter national ecumenical service in situations involving foreign iang- auges, Dr. Rogers continued. “They have additional great as sets that are, alas, apparently lacking in other centers of study. One of them is intellectual fear lessness,” he said. Dr. Rogers said that the secu lar tradition allows itself “the luxury of all but ignoring great segments of knowledge: religion, theology, Catholicism.” “I believe it can be charged,” he observed, “that the secular tradition, while protesting vigor ously against censorship in any form, exercises a fierce kind of censorship, the censorship of se lection, the selection involved in the organization of a course and a program of courses. Whole bod ies of knowledge — useful, in teresting, and beautiful know ledge — are often omitted en bloc. The improverished student never knows the difference.” Dr. Rogers said he is not “so innocent as to believe that in fact all Catholic colleges and universi ties arc living up to their poten tialities and their traditions.” “If I have one criticism to make of American Catholic colleges,” lie said, “it is that they assidu ously copy many of the worst features of secular education. You do not have enough confi dence in yourselves and in your own glorious traditions. “You dismiss Catholic theolo gy with a mere two semester hours over three or four years, out in the fringe, added on to some fifteen, seventeen, nineteen hours of subjects that often are identical with what is found elsewhere. “Because you do this, your students occasionally conclude that theology is of secondary im portance,” Dr. Robers stated. Bishop Wright outlined the qualities Catholic parents of his acquaintance hoped a college would provide their sons and daughters. He listed first “intellectual cu riosity” and he defined this as “a sense of quest, the vocation of the scholar, rather than of ar rival.” Bishop Wright listed, too, “a sense of tradition, historical per spective, Christian cosmopolitan- sm, patience, discrimination, a sense of humor, competence in some one field, and a sense of awe.” He added that “these parents wanted-college to give their sons and daughters a certain intellec tual calm and a spiritual and emotional resilience in times of adversity.” “I was happy to note,” he ob served, “that they did not hope college would provide their chil- :lren with quality called ‘emotion al maturity’—that freedom from all neuroses that would probably make them stick in the mud and tay there.” Dr. Nicholas Joost, national president of Delta Epsilon Sigma, inducted Dr. Rogers and Bishop Wright into the chapter-at-large. Assumptionist Father Ernest R. Fortin, of Assumption College was elected regional president, and Dominican Father Royal J. Gardner, of Prividence (R. I.) College, vice president.
