NEW YORK.—Contending that
the apostolate of religion should
start with the assumption that
everyone wants God, the Rt Rev
Msgr. Fulton J. Sheen, of the
Catholic University of America,
sard in his-' address recently
on the “Catholic Hour’’ radio
piogram that abigot “thinks more
about the Church than some who
belong to it ”
“They do not really hate the
Church,” he continued. “They
hate only what they mistakenly
believe to be the Church they
have heard, and if I had been
taught the same historical per
versions, with my own peculiar
character and temperament I
would hate the Church ten times
more than they do. At least they
have some, zeal and some fire, ft
may be misdirected, but with
God’s grace it can be channeled
into love.
“These souls who peddle anti-
religion tracts or anti-Catholie
publications are to be regarded
in exactly the same light, as St.
Paul before his conversion. And
as he preached and lectured
against the Church, after assist-
ing at the killing of the most
brilliant of the early Churchmen,
St. Stephen , there were many
believers who despaired. Prayers
were multiplied to God: ‘Send
someone to refute Paul.’ And God
heard their prayers. God sent
Paul to answer Paul. A bigot
made the best Apostle.”
Monsignor Sheen’s address was
(he sixteenth in a scries of 18 lie
is giving on the “Catholic Hour ”
which is produced by the National
Council of Catholic Men and is
broadcast nationally over the net-
woik of the National Broadcasting
Company.
Counseling not to be “too hard”
on bigots. Monsignor Sheen said
he knew of a young woman who
used to sit before the radio and
ridicule and scoff at his words.
“She is now enjoying the fulness
of Faith and Sacraments ” he
said.
“Everyone is in quest of God,”
lie continued, “and if the soul
gives God a chance, God will win.
God will find you If your
does not refuse to be found
Hence avoid those selfish and
and
mo-
Di-
Petty acts which may deaden
stunt you in the oiie great
ment when surrender to the
vine Will can bring peace.”
Monsignor Sheen emphasized
that unlike ‘all other religious,
Christianity starts with the sin
ner. ’ and in a certain sense be
gins with human helplessness.
“You have to be good.” lie
said, “to enter most religions;
you become a Christian on the
assumption that you are
good."
