CATHOLIC IS AMERICAN
MARTYR MINISTER SAYS
Eev. Dr. Holmes of New York
Terms Idea of Devided Al
legiance Simply Ridiculous
(By N, C. W. C. News Service)
New York.—The Catholic is one of
the three great martyrs of Ameri
can history, declared the Rev. Dr.
John Haynes Holmes, Protestant
minister, speaking on the subject
“Is Roman Catholicism a Menace to
America” in the Community church,
here. Dr. Holmes gave four reasons
for impressions that Catholicism is
a menace to free democracy, and
declared emphatically that he has
no sympathy with any one of these
reasons save one.
He said part of this feeling is
rooted in the historical antipathy
surviving from bloody combat be
tween Catholics and Protestants dur
ing the Reformation, and secondly
there is the feeling of older settlers
against newcomers to America.
“I resent the impudence of Prot
estants who would pretend to hold
the country as their own,” he said.
“The United States is no more a
Protestant couutry than it is a
Jewish country. If the Catholics
can dominate it they have a right
to do so.”
Taking up another objection to
the church heard in some quarters,
Dr. Holmes said:
“Most serious in the minds of
many is the feeling that the Catho
lic church never has and never will
abandon the idea of temporal power,
the combination church and state
and church supreme. Millions today
believe that Catholics aspire to re
store the Pope to imperial power.
To me the idea is simply ridiculous.
It makes me laugh to hear of ‘di
vided allegiance.’ The iiian who
cherishes that notion writes himself
down as a moron. The Pope could
call and call in vain. The nation
could call and he heard.”
During the services of Dr. Holmes
recited Catholic prayers and read a
passage from St. Augustin’s “The
City of God.”

Pope Participates in Greek Mass on
16th Centenary of Nicene Council
First Ceremony of Its Kind Since Second Council of
Lyons in 12 74—Former King Ferdinand of Bulgaria
Among Those Present, De eply Moved by Epochal Event
BY MSG It. ENRICO PUCCI
(Rome Correspondent N. C. W. C.
News Service.)
Rome.—With the series of im
portant events commemorating the
sixteenth ccntuary of the Council
of Nicea completed, the Pope himself
when he received thte Oriental pre
lates who took part in the ceremo
nies, summed up his conception of
the importance of the anniversary.
He said:
“We have celebrated in the best
way possible to us that great histor
ical event, the Nicean Council, the
first Ecumenical Council, the first
proclamation in Constantinople of
the Word of the Father, the Truth
in which is the foundation of the
Church, the substance of Christian
ity. This celebration has truly re
sulted in an eloquent demonstration
of the unity and universality of the
Church, and is altogether a manifes
tation of sympathy and an invitation
to rehim like for like addressed to
those who are not united, who are
not in the fold with us.”
The Greek Pontifical Mass cele
brated in St. Peter’s in the presence
of the unity and universalitv of the
participation of the Pope was the cli
max. This ceremony surpassed in
grandeur anything else that has been
known since the Oriental schism. It
is necessary to go back to the Second
Council of Lyons (1274) to find an
other instance of a Greek Pontifical
Mass at which the Pope not only as
sisted hut also liturgieally partici
pated. The principal formulas of
the Blessing during the secret litur
gy were chanted in Greek by the
Pope. At the moment of the reci
tation of the Niccnc Creed—the
Creed which priests always recite in
the Mass—-the Pope said it first in
Latin from his throne, while tKe Car
dinals grouped about him accompa
nied the recitation in a low voice.
Then it was recited in Greek at the
altar by the celebrating Metropolite
and the co-celebrating Bishops and
priests, accompanied by the Greek
choir.. The chants were sung not
only in Greek but also in Staroslav
and Roumanian—the three languages
used in the Greek rite.
In the Royal Tribune during the
Mass, was the former King of Bul
garia, Ferdinand of Coburg. After
the ceremony, in an interview with
the representative of the N. C. W. C.
News Service, the former ruler gave
his impressions of the event and of
its importance, as follows:
“I, who know so profoundly the
Oriental world from its rites to its
ideas, could follow the ceremony step
by step, and from time to time, I ex
plained it to those hear me. I have
seen thus, the perfection of all the
ceremonies; I have appreciated the
personal participation of the Pope.
I have verified that never could
the unity and universality of the
Church of Jesus Christ have been
expressed in a more real and effica
cious manner. The Oriental people
separated from the Catholic Church
cannot find fault with anything in
this grand Roman celebration be
cause their rite, of which they are so
jealous, has been respected in all its
particulars, and the Pope himself in
participating in it has used their lit
urgical formula. I believe that when
the news of this Papal commemora
tion of the Nicean centenary is
spread, it will make a profound and
happy impression.”
Jesuits Found Quinine Fever Cure
Missionary in Pern Credited With Discovery of Powder
in Early Seventeenth Ce ntnry, Bringing It to Rome
The opening of the International
Malaria Congress in Rome lias at
tracted attention to the scientific
work of missionaries and the part
played by them in the discovery and
dissemination through Europe of the
cure of malaria by the powders ex-
tractc from the bark of the quina
According to a paper recently
published by Dr Canezza the merit
ot this exceptional discovery belongs
to Father Bartolomeo Tafur, S. ?.,
Procurator of the Jesuit Order in the
Peruvian Province, who cgm e to
Rome in 1642 and in 1646 made
known to his confercs the properties
of the bark revealed to him by na
tives whom he had converted vi,n Pe-
!. '
The Jesuits later carried quinine
wit|i them to China, and the powder
not only proved the salvation of the
mission, but cured the fevers of the
Emperor Kanshi who, having already
recognized the^bility of the Jesuits
as astvonomerSj likewise recognized
them as physicians superior in skill
to those of his empire and lavished
favors upon them.
The Malaria section of the Medi
cal Pavilion of the Vatican Mission-
ary Exposition contains some copies
of ancient books devoted to the sub
ject of quinine.
The Sauto Spirito Hospital, in
Rome, lias an ancient fresco showing
Cardinal Dc Lugo supervising in per
son the preparation and distribution
of quinine to the sick. While the
contemporaries of Father Tafur were
divided in their opinions of his dis
coveries, Cardinal De Inigo became
his steadfast friend and champion,
and m the face of much opposition
succeeded in imposing upon the Ro
mans the use of these powders. So
great was his interest in the new
medicine, that whereas quinine had
first been called the *1Powders of the
Jesuits,” it later became known as
Cardinal De Lugo’s Powder.”
Rockne At Notre Dame
Birth Control Is Cause of
Cancer Physicians Declare
(By N. C. W. C. News Service.)
London.—Declaring that the pre
vention of motherhood is a preva
lent cause of cancer in womei, Dr.
Hastings Gilford said here that the
grim disease is the nemesis which
f9llows birth control and the eva
sion of^ nature’s laws.
Dr. Gilford, a former Hunterian
irofessor of the Royal College of
Surgeons, was lecturing to the Roy
al Institute of Public Health when
he made this declaration.
He said the increase in the disease
was mainly in the digestive organs
and the reproductive organs. He as
serted that if women could be in
duced to revert to the habits of
irmiitive races they would suffer
ess from cancer. Maternity at twen
ty is liis prescription, coupled with
the abolition of the feeding bottle.
Dr. Courtenay Dunn, of Torquay,
interviewed by a newspaper corre
spondent concerning this statement,
expressed his agreement and added:
‘ It is better to. trust to Providence
than seek for aid in a direction of
which you are ignorant.”
ANTI-CLERICALS LAUD CARDINAL
(By N. C. W. C. News Service.)
Paris.—It is seldom that violent
anti-clericals joint with Caliolics in
honoring the memory of a prince
of the church. But the recent cele
brations on the occasion of tile cen
tennial of the birth of the great
Apostle of Africa, Cardinal Lavige-
rie, have given this unique spectacle
to the world. At Biskra, in South
ern Algeria, at Algiers, at Tunis and
at Paris majestic cercmones have
great African missionary cardinal.
The celebrations were particularly
brilliant at Algers, where a statue
of the famous prelate was unveiled
iu front of th e Cathedral.
Priest Convocation Orator
At University of N. Dakota
(By N. C. W. C. News Service.)
Grand Forks, N. Dak.—For the
first time in the history of the Uni
versity of North Dakota, the All-
University Convocation address was
delivered during December by a
Catholic priest. The speaker was
the Rev. Dr. John A. O'Brien, Direc
tor of the Catholic Foundation at
the University of Illinios.
‘The war mania i s the greatest
menace to modern culture, and if it
is not curbed it will prove the cem-
etery of the world’s civilization.”
Dr. O Brien declared. False glorifi
cation of war sliouJd cease and ener
gies be used more in the further
ance of international peace and am
ity, he continued. Adequate defense
is necessary as long as disputes are
settled by the sword, but huge war
machines are not needed, “lu this
work of preserving the noblest and
best in American life, religion has a
real contribution to render,” he de
clared. It is religion that affords the
mose effective and the most endur
ing basis for moral action.”
A recent religious census in Hol
land gives the following results: Ro
man Catholics, 5,096,729, or G3.9 per
cent; Reformed, 1,670,144 or 21 per
cent; Lutherans, 497,012,‘or 6.2 per
cent; Jews, 473,310. or 5.9 per cent;
Greek Orthodox, 175,247, or 2.2 per
cent. The remaining one per cent
is divided among numerous bodies,
with the Baptists predominating.
Representing twelve different re
ligious orders, two hundred and sev
enty nuns are taking work in the
late afternoon and Saturday classes
conducted liy St. Xavieer’s College,
Cincinnati.
Football Coaching Ace Will
Not Go to Columbia
(By N. C. W. C. News Service.)
Notre Dame, Ind.—Knute Rocknc,
football coaching ace of the count-
try will stay at Notre Dame, and not
go to Columbia University.
That is the upshot of the hectic
series of recent statements, denials,
tortured explanations and conjec
tures.
President Walsh of Notre Dame
states that Rockne’s contract is valid
and that his position here is as se
cure as such an understanding can
make it. A full denial of the report
that the famous coach will go to
Columbia next year has been issued
Rockne himself has given a denial
to the press.
