Bad Catholics Bring Church
Suffering, Says Fr. Lonergan
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
WASHINGTON—In so many coun
tries of the world today, the Catholic
Church is persecuted and afflicted
and crucified “by her own children,”
declared the Very Rev. William Lon-
ergan, S.M., at the observance here
of the sixth annual Church Unity
Octave at the National Shrine of the
Immaculate Conception.
Speaking on the "Return of Lapsed
Catholics to the Sacraments,” Father
Lonergan emphasized that in the in
terest of preserving the unity of the
Catholic Church vigorous efforts
must be made to bring back lapsed
Catholics to the fold.
“It is estimated that the Catholic
population of the world is 320,000,000,”
he said. “But despite many converts
to the Faith, there have recently been
ghastly losses and defections. Per
secuted on every side, afflicted with
wholesale apostasies, cursed by care-
less and indifferent members in many
countries, the Church, like an army
engaged in furious warfare, sees
many of her combatants suffering
from well-nigh mortal wounds. She
sees herself in some cases like her
Divine Master—betrayed. More than
that: like Him she is mocked, scourg
ed, crucified by her own children.
Her churches are burned, her con
secrated men and women slaughtered
in cold blood, her treasures destroyed,
her laity hounded like wild beasts.
Bad Catholics gave us the heresies—
all. Bad Catholics gave us the so-call
ed Reformation. Bad Catholics gave
us the French Revolution: and bad
Catholics continue to inflict cruel
wounds on the Mystical Body, the
Church of Christ on earth; in Ger
many, in Russia, in Austria, in Spain
in Mexico, and in other countries."’
He deplored “the leakage problem"
in America, saying that ”if these
frightful losses are to stop, we must
life up our minds and our voices to
God in fervent prayer.”

IGNORE PROPAGANDA,
PRESIDENT URGED
BY BALTIMORE SUN
Reds Striving to Send
American Manhood to Bat
tle, Says Open Letter to
Chief Executive
(By N. C. W. C. News Service)
BALTIMORE. — Branding the cur
rent drive to lift the Spanish embargo
as an effort on the part of Commu
nists and their allies “to force this
country into war” The Baltimore
Sun has addressed an open letter to
the President of the United States and
to Members of Congress vigorously
urging them to “disregard the propa
gandists.”
“The American League for Feace
and Democracy is a snare and a delise
sion, an organization which shews its
true colors by refusing ever to de
nounce Communism of which it was
born,” tlie paper declares.
The Sun's open letter follows:
“Pressure groups are urging you to
lift the Embargo against Spain. These
same pressure groups are asking you
to keep an embargo on Germany and
Italy.'
“This means that Communists and
others allied with them are trying to
force this country into war. These
men and women who have not a word
to say against Communist Russia are
asking you to send our American man
hood into battle, asking you to sacri
fice real Americans, not Communists
and their allies, who do not know
what Americanism means.
“For so surely as you lift the Em
bargo that is now placed against
Spain, American ships will carry con
traband of war to the Spanish Leftists.
So surely, too, will Franco sink Amer
ican vessels and he will have a right to
do so. He will not twiddle his thumbs.
So surely as Franco sinks American
vessels the United States will declare
“Among those who will be called to
the colors will be millions of young
men whose co-religionists have been
murdered in Spain. They will be ask
ed to fight in defense of the Commu
nistic enemies of the land they love
and against those whose only wrong
is that they, too, love their native
land, their Church, their priests, their
self-sacrificing nuns and a.devoted
Catholic laity.
“But not only Catholic young men
but millions of other American young
men will be sent into a war, precipi
tated by the Communists who wish
only ill, not good to our country.
Homes will be bereft, and the potential
leaders of our country on the morrow
will be asked to sacrifice their lives in
a war devised by the cunning of Com
munists.
“We hope, Mr. President, and you
members of the Congress of the Unit
ed States that you will avert such a
war. We shall pray that you do. We
ask you to disregard the appeals of
those who either intentionally, or ig
norantly, are working to plunge us inj
to war.
“Remember the World War Re
member the graves in this country and
foreign lands of those who fought to
perpetuate Democracy, not the tenets
of Communism and Anarchism. Re
member the Unknown Soldier whose
tomb looks down upon our Capital
City. The American League for Peace
and Democracy is a snare ami a delu
sion, an organization which shows its
true colors by refusing ever to de
nounce Communism of which it was
born.
“Disregard the propagandists. Pre
serve Democracy in this country and
preserve our American Youth.”
