'‘Give the Catholic Church a Fair Trial”
By Rev. Raymond F. Govern, C. SS. R.
Under the above heading, an
article written by Father Ray
mond F. Govern, of the Redemp-
•torist Fathers, stationed in
Northwest Georgia, appeared in
a recent issue of The Cedar-
town Standard, of which Roy N.
Emmet is editor.
There are few Catholics in
Cedartown. where the city’s first
Catholic Church was erected
only two years ago. A number
of instances have been reported
which have shown the kindly
disposition of the non-Catholic
people of Cedartown in regard
to their fellow-citizens of the
Catholic Faith, and ’The Bulletin
is pleased to reproduce the
article published in The Cedar
town Standard as further evi
dence of the gogd will and cor
dial relations which prevail in a
splendid community of North
west Georgia.
The official Catholic directory
of 1943 states that there are now
22,945,247 Catholics in the United
States. This shows that 86.905 non-
Catholics were converted into the
Catholic Church in 1942. These
people were not satisfied with
their religion, so they investigated
the claims of the Catholic church
became enlightened by learning
that the Catholic church is the
only church established by Jesus
Christ. Monsignor Sheen, the fa
mous radio orator, has written.
"There are not a hundred people
in the United States who hate the
Catholic church. There are mil
lions, however, who bate what they
wrongly believe to be the Catholic
church—which is of course, quite a
diiferent thing. These millions can
hardly be blamed for hating Catho
lics because Catholics "adore stat
ues;” because they “put the Bless
ed Mother on the same level with
God:” because the Pope “is a
Fascist;” because the Church is the
defender of capitalism.” If the
Church taught or believed any one
of these things it should be hated,
but the fact is that the Church
does not believe nor teach any one
of them. It follows then that the
hatred of the millions is directed
against error and not against truth.
As a matter of fact, if we Catholics
believed all the untruths and lies
which were said against the
Church, we probably would hate
the Church a thousand times more
than they do. Since the haired of
the Church is founded on errone
ous beliefs, it follows that the basic
need of the day is instruction.
People have been misled so long.
What they want nowadays is the
real truth—they want Christ. That
is why a class or session of in
struction about the teachings of
the Catholic Church is going to be
held in Saint Bernadette’s Catho
lic Church every Thursday even.-
ing. These instructions are not to
prove that non-Catholics are
“wrong.” They are to prove that
we .are “right.” They are merely to
present thp truth in a calm manner
in order that truth may conquer
and that souls may come into a
closer embrace of Christ.
Will the session be interesting?
Why, religion has always been the
most interesting thing under the
sun. Men get excited about few
other things as they do about re
ligion. This is because religion is
one of the deepest things in man.
Now, by listening in to other peo
ple’s difficulties, you will find
many of your difficulties solved.
At the class many of the questions
will express just your difficulties.
So now' I invite you non-Catho
lics, above all, to send in any
questions you wish on religion, or
morality of the Catholic Church,
and I shall explain exactly the
position of the Catholic Church,
and give the reasons for it.
Many hard things have been
said about the Catholic Church.
She has the right to a fair trial—
to be heard and allowed to state
her case. If anyone wishes to send
in questions by mail, each letter
will be acknowledged and answer
ed. The address is Saint Mary’s
Church, 911 North Broad Street.
Rome, Ga. The first session will
be held June 17. at Saint Berna
dette’s Church. Everyone is always
welcome in a Catholic Church.

pastor of St. Patrick's Church.
