ROME. — (N. C. W. C.—Fides).—
The Most Rev. Edward Mooney,
Apostolic Delegate in Japan, has just
departed from Rome, after taking
leave of the Holy Father. He re
turns to his post in Tokyo by way
of Canada and the United States.
His Excellency stated briefly be
fore departure that the Church in
Japan will continue to build itself
upon a spiritual elite which enters
steadily into its ranks. Progress in
Japan is solid, though the results are
not spectacular. ,
‘Striking beauty of soul is found
among the Japenese people,” declar
ed His Excellency. “Our missiona
ries never tire of speaking of the
spiritual depth which they discover
in So many who seek out the priest,
attracted by the sublimity of our
Christian heritage.
“Our Catholic body in Japan is
made up of two main elements. We
have the sturdy group in the south,
the Nagasaki Christians, survivors of
the dark years of persecution under
the Shogunate, ruled by a Japanese
Bishop and cared for by Japanese
clergy. These number over GO,000,
two-thirds of the Church members
in Janan.
“Throughout the rest of the coun
try. then, with the most important
agglomeration about Tokyo, are some
40,000 converts of the last few gen
erations. Almost every individual
in this group could supply material
or a very interesting spiritual bio
graphy. Many of them are from the
educated classes and represent men
and women whose high idealism has
led them to Jesus Christ.
“In Korea, where the conditions of
the apostolate are radically differ
ent. Catholics are more numerous
and group conversions are the rule.
Marked advance is also being evi
denced in the organization of the
growing Catholic body and a most
significent and encouraging develop
ment in this line is the splendid
Catholic Action program which the
Bishops formulated recently in Seoul.
“Silently, humbly, the Church’s
messengers are winning their way in
Japan. Catholic schools, each one
brought to a high standard of ex
cellence. are already fairly numer
ous. Hopeful beginnings in medical
and social work give promise of re
sults in this demonstration of Chris
tian charity."
