Bishop of Fort Wayne, in his series of lectures which concluded the Apologetic In stitute held at the Catholic University of America here during the summer session. The Institute is said to be the first of its kind ever conducted in the United States. Bishop Noll also declared that “if America does not take to Catholic standards of Christianity, then the American people are not going to have any Christianity." Outlining “The Status of Catholic Religion in Various Countries of the World," Bishop Noll said that “though the number of so-called Catholics constitute millions, the percentage of practical Catholics is extremely low." “Anti-religious governments, glori fication of education without God. and mixed marriages are sources of weakened or lost faith," the Bishop said, adding that a primary cause of the discrepancy is the almost uni versal lack of religious instruction after leaving school. “No grammar school mind is mature enough for dis cussions pre-eminent today," he said. "Catholic doctrine concerning Christ ian marriage, birth control, and other important matters must be imparted after school days through sermons, study clubs, literature and other means."
