'‘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. YVEARING THE HEADDRESS of his tribe, the Rev.
