MEMEBERS OF CURIA
(Special to The Bulletin)
BY THE REV. FRANCIS O. FERR1
SPAKTANBUKG, S. C.—As we be
gin the fall-winter season of 1940-41
our parishioners will be egaged first
of all in consolidating past gains and
in pushing forward, to new goals. In
a small parish of less than two hun
dred and fifty souls Catholic AcUon
has made notable advances. Realiz
ing that the one physical and spirit
ual contact with tne Church which is
common to all practicing Catholics
is made at the Sunday offering of the
Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, no effort
is spared to make that participation
as active and intelligent as possible.
The present pastor is building on the
tirm foundation laid by his predeces
sor, the Rev. Thomas J. Mackin. On
his arrival a few years ago he lound
that a considerable number of the
parishioners were accustomed to the
use of a Sunday or daily Missal. Leaf
let Missals are on sale at the Church
entrance. No effort is made to profit
by these sales, for they are sold at
cost, and the boys who attend to
these sales see to it that strangers
and non-Catholics are supplied with
a free copy until their supply is‘ ex
hausted. Again, the present pastor
found that his predecessor had taken
special pride in the behavior of the
ministers to the Holy Sacrifice, the
servers .at the Altar. They were well
and patiently trained for their duties
which they performed with an exact
ness and devotion which were calcu
lated not to be a distraction but a
source of edification to the laity who
participated at the Holy Sacrifice.
This good tradition has been his
successor’s aim to maintain. Again,
the parishioners had been taught to
give a full hour for the fulfillment
of their Sunday obligation. This has
made it easy for the present incum
bent to give an instruction at each
Sunday Mass. Finally, the good peo
ple of the parish are unusually
prompt, and thus there are few late
comers, usually visitors who may
have had some difficulty in locating
the Church; by this good habit, a
source of distraction is removed. At
the end of the Mass no one leaves
the Church until the priest has arriv
ed at the Sacristy. It is amusing to
see an occasional visitor make a dash
for the door; he finds himself with
no following.
Every effort will be made during
the coming year further to reduce
our parish debt, which now amounts
to $12,716.29. Conscious of the value
of a parish school, and of the bless
ings which come from the presence
of Sisters within our midst, we are
confidently looking forward to the
beginning of a grade school in the fall
of 1941. His Excellency, the Most
Reverend Emmet M. Walsh. Bishop
of Charleston, is actively and whole
heartedly cooperating with us for the
achievement of what will mean a
sturdier and more Catholic life in our
midst.
Almost seventy adults out of a
parish population of two hundred
and fifty souls, all told, participated
in our discussion clubs last season.
This unusually high percentage means
that few adults failed to cooperate.
We hope to do even better than that
in the coming year.
We are conscious of our debt to
the young men and young women of
Greenville for their efforts to bring
about contacts between our youth
:n the Piedmont, and our young peo
ple are now doing their part furtner-
:ng this enterprise. We have visited
Greenville for the Mardi Gras ball,
the Corpus Christi procession. Com
munion breakfast and have partici
pated in many Deanery meetings
there. A choir of young men have
been here to sing on our Holy .Name
Sunday, and have been our guests
at a Communion breakfast. Young
men and women from Greenville
have attended our .parish bingo, at
which no admission or charge to play
was made for anyone who came, the
aim being to bring our people togeth
er. The Deanery meeting of both the
young men and young ladies of this
area will be at Walhalla, S. C., and
a large delegation is expected to at
tend the Diocesan convention of
Catholic Women to participate in the
sectional meetings for youth.
It is a source of happiness to. see
the development of organizations for
our women, our men and our yOuth.
Separate accounts will be enclosed in
this edition which will list their of
ficers and list their accomplishments.

ISSUES STATEMENT IN
SAVANNAH NEWSPAPER
Outlines Position of
Catholic Church on
Eternal Punishment
(Special To The Bulletin)
SAVANNAH. Ga— In an article
appearing in the Savannah Evening
Press, some weeks ago, the Right
Reverend Monsignor T. James McNa
mara, rector of the Cathedral of St.
John the Baptist, made reply to re
marks attributed to a local minister
in a sermon of the previous 'Sunday,
and declared that the statement that
SO per cent of the ministers of all de
nominations have lost faith in the
doctrine of an eternally burning hell
certainly could not be made of Cath
olic priests.
In his statement, which set forth
tile Church’s position on the subject.
Monsignor McNamara said that To
deny the doctrine of an eternally
burning hell is in effect to deny the
Divinity of Jesus Christ.”
"Texts upon text can be cited,” said
Monsignor McNamara, “and quota
tions upon quotations can be brought
forth subtantiating the ever-present
belief of Christians in ths doctrine of
an-eternally burning hell. From
those without. Recent events have Christ through the Apostles and the
shown that the Totalitarian States
are using a new and insidious weapon
of conquest. It is the propagation of
lies and suspicion directed against
racial or religious groups in the pop
ulation, and its victory is the divi
sion of national defense by dishonestly
tying up those policies with suspected
groups. Contradiction, confusion, in
decision, panic; these follow as a
natural consequence. The result: a
nation made impotent in the face of
possible attack. Our historic Ameri
can faith in the processes of de
mocracy is caricatured to appear at
once indefensible and undesirable-
“We warn the American people
against those who, under various
guises, are promoting unfounded
prejudices against any group or class.
Such profesisonal haters are America’s
potential traitors.
“We call upon Americans of all
faiths. in a spirit of humility to under
gird the Republic by the vitalization
of religion. During this period of
world crisis, let us give ourselves
: lute,y to the achievement of the
brotherhooa of man under the Father
hood of God throughout our own
lane. This is a goal worthy of any
effort-
“Particularly we urge Protestants,
Catholics and Jews in every Ameri
can community lo work together in
mutual trust and conference on pro
jects of common concern to them as
citizens of a free li»»d Finding homes
early Christian Fathers down through
the centuries has come this doctrine
vindicating the justice of God in His
dealings with men.”
“Truly at the sight of all the base
ness, wickedness and godlessness that
is committed here on earth, apparent
ly with impurity, we must either de
spair and deny God’s existence or
else we must believe in the incorrup
tible justice of God’s judgment. The
terrifying effects of that judgment
become evident when we reflect on
Christ’s suffering for stricken hu
manity. He knew hell and its terri
fying consequences and to save us
against ourselves He suffered as no
man ever be called on to suffer.
for refugee children, helping the work
of the Red Cross, obtaining jobs foe
the unemployed, securing better rec
reation and health facilities, and com
bating the causes of crime—all these
are problems which should command
the attention of citizens of every
faith. They can be solved democrati
cally by Joint action on -the part of
all Americans and to solve them is
the most effective answer democracy
can make to totalitarianism”.
