1 ? f 9 I PAGE 2—The Southern Cross, February 23, 1963 Recall Priest’s Extraordinary Role As Great US Social Reformer The following article takes notice of two events which coin cide this month; the appear ance of a definitive biography of Msgr. John A. Ryan and the 44th anniversary of the publica tion of the Bishops’ Program of Social Reconstruction, of which Msgr, Ryan was the principal author, Msgr. Higgins was closely associated with Msgr. Ryan in the last years of the latter’s life and is a successor to him as director of theNCWC Department of Social Action. By Msgr. George C. Higgins On a lovely Spring morning in May, 1945, a group of four or five priests from the staff of the National Catholic Welfare Conference drove out to the Washington National Airport with their venerable colleague, Msgr. John A. Ryan, director of the NCWC Social Action Depart ment, who was scheduled to catch a plane for St. Paul, Minn., where he had been or dained to the priesthood in 1898 and where he had begun his dis tinguished career as a priest- professor and social reformer extraordinary.” Msgr. Ryan was going back to St. Paul ostensibly to pay a more or less routine visit to the members of his immed iate family and to recuperate from a lingering illness but, in reality (whether he knew it or not, and he probably did) to prepare for his death, which was clearly imminent. 1 had been assigned to ac company him on the trip to Minnesota, but I thought that I had to pretend, rather implaus ibly, that my presence on his flight was more or less of a coincidence, and the other priests who had come to see him off likewise felt that they had to go to rather elaborate lengths to camouflage their real reason for being at the airport. Their real reason, of course, was that they wanted to show their respect and affection for a great and very lovable human being who they knew was dying and whom they never expected to see again this side of eter nity. There was a great deal of studied casualness and awk wardly- contrived cheerfulness and good humor about our con versation as we waited for his plane to be called, but the gruff old Monsignor, who was never one to wear his feelings on his sleeve, must have seen through the charade, for there were tears in his eyes as he boarded his plane, and it was only with difficulty that the rest of us managed to conceal our own emotions. In any event, the old man quickly regained his compos ure, and for the better part of what turned out to be a slow and rather tedious trip to St Paul (with a long stop-over in Detroit for a change of equip ment), he read a serious book on economics with his critical pencil ever at the ready with all the energy and concentra tion of a man of 25. When he wasn’t reading, he was gulping down a piece of ap ple pie and a glass of milk with obvious relish and com menting, with his usual blunt ness and clarity of thought, on what he had just been reading or on the headline stories in the morning paper. Four months later he died in a Catholic hospital in St. Paul fortified with the sacraments of the Church and surrounded by the few remaining members of his immediate family. During the intervening years, the thought has occurred to me more than once that that last trip of Msgr. Ryan’s to the See city of his native diocese was strikingly characteristic of the man, almost down to the last detail. All his life he had been the serious student of economic and social problems and almost a caricature of the lovably gruff priest-professor and social re former. And the fact that he was making what he must have known would be his last trip anywhere on this earth didn’t seem to affect him or change him in the least. He acted and talked as though he were preparing—as he had done a thousand times before — to write another article or draft another speech on one of the burning issues of the day. He was the same scholarly, outspoken, and bluntly humor ous priest that he had been for almost 50 years. All of this has been a rather roundabout way of introducing the reader to the definitive bio graphy of Msgr. Ryan which was published on February 11; ‘‘Right Reverend New Dealer: John A. Ryan” by Francis L. Broderick, professor of History at Phillips Exeter Academy, Exeter, N.H., (The Macmillan Company, New York, $5.95). I have said that this is the “definitive” biography of Msgr. Ryan and have done so advised ly, for while it is only to be expected that Dr. Ryan’s surviving friends and co- workers will disagree with some of Broderick’s specific judgments and evaluations and will be able to pick him up here and there on a point of fact, I feel confident that most of them, together with the ma jority of Broderick’s pro fessional peers, will give it as their final verdict that ‘‘Right Reverend New Dealer” is, from every point of view, a super ior piece of work and one that will probably never be supplant ed. I recommend the book very highly to all those, Catholics and non-Catholics alike, who are in terested in the history of so cial reform in the United States and, more specifically, to those who have a particular interest in the role of the Church and the role of the theologian in the field of social reconstruction. Obviously it would be impos sible to summarize the contents of Broderick’s 279-page bio graphy of Msgr. Ryan within the limits of a brief review. The most that one can hope to do is to single out a few of the highlights in the Monsignor’s phenomenally successful car eer as “a priest-professor and social reformer extraordi nary,” with the hope that this will whet the reader’s appe tite for more of the same and will send him in search of a copy of Broderick’s book. Msgr. Rayn was born of Ir ish immigrant parents on a small farm near St. Paul in 1869. He studied for the seminary in St. Paul and was ordained for the Archdiocese of St. Paul in 1898. After serving for a few months as a curate in a parish, he was sent to the Ca tholic University of America where, after four years of grad uate study, he took his doctor ate in moral theology. He taught moral theology at the St. Paul seminary from 1902 until 1915, when he joined the faculty of the College of Mount St. Joseph On-The-Ohio LIBERAL ARTS COLLEGE FOR WOMEN Conducted By The Sisters of Charity of Cincinnati, Ohio FULLY ACCREDITED Bachelor of Arts Bachelor of Science Bachelor of Science in Elementary Education Bachelor of Science in Nursing Bachelor of Music Education NEW CAMPUS Eleven Buildings—Opened 1962 WRITE Dean College of Mount St. Joseph Delhi Pike and Neeb Road Mount St. Joseph, Ohio Greater Cincinnati’s Suburban College Catholic University of America, In 1919, 20 years before his retirement from the University, he was appointed first director of the Social Action Department of the National Catholic Wel fare Conference and served in that position until his death in 1945. Msgr. Ryan's first book, “The Living Wage, ” was pub lished in 1906. No wonder he is so often referred to as a pion eer in the development of Ca tholic social thinking in the United States. This book, which was written as his doctoral dissertation in moral theology, strongly ad vocated legal protection of the right to a living wage 32 years before the Federal government got around to enacting the Fair Labor Standards Act. And even to this day, his example in fathering one of the earliest state minimum-wage laws--the Minnesota statute—has yet to be followed in some of the states in the Union. The first edition of Msgr, Ryan's most important book, “Distributive Justice”— which applied the principles of moral theology very systematically to a wide range of problems in the field of industrial and economic ethics—appeared in 1916. This reviewer would agree with Broderick when he says that “with the publication of ‘Distributive Justice,’ the ba sic frame of Father Ryan’s pro gram for social justice was set.” By 1916, in other words, Msgr. Ryan had had his say as a scholar. To be sure, he never stopped writing books and articles until the end of his very busy life, but Broderick is correct in stat ing that he ‘' spent the major part of his career after 1916 in the active apostolate for social jus tice.” Msgr. Ryan’s major em phasis in his extraordinarily “active apostolate for social justice” was on the urgent need for adequate socioeconom ic legislation, though he was also interested, of course, in organization--particularly the organization of workers--as one of the necessary means of solving economic and so cial probelms. Perhaps the best short sum mary of his legislative program is to be found in the 1919 Bish ops’ Program of Social Recon struction, of which he was the principal author. It is interest ing to note, in passing, that though this document, which was released 44 years ago this week, was considered to be rather radical, almost all of its spe cific legislative proposals have since been enacted into law either in whole or in part, Msgr. Ryan was admittedly a “radical” in his own day, As a matter of fact, “his ideas,” Broderick says, “were more radical than the program of a good many moderate dues-pay ing socialists.” He was “not technically enough of a socialist to draw the formal censure of his eccles iastical superiors, but too radi cal for most of his coreligion ists,” Broderick concludes, but he hastens to add that “Ryan's view was simpler; He was about as radical as Leo XIII. That puts it all very well in a nut shell. Msgr. Ryan’s vigorous ad vocacy of advance social leg islation and other far-reaching measures of socioeconomic re form involved him, more or less inevitably, in numerous public controversies, all of which are detailed very objectively by Broderick. Ryan emerged from these controversies none the less for the wear and with his priestly and scholarly dignity substantially intact. “He had quarrelled with a president and a cardinal; he had been honored by another presi dent and a pope,” Broderick writes. “Stubborn yet flexible, gruff but affectionate, learned but simple, he had survived four- decades of controversy with hu mor and friends.” A number of significant fa cets of Msgr. Ryan’s career can only be mentioned in passing as we bring this article-review to a hurried conclusion: his am bivalent “on-again-off-again- Finnegan” relationship with the leading "liberals” of his gener ation; his early support and sub sequent opposition—very vig orous opposition - to our na tional prohibition law; his cele brated debate on socialism with Morris Hillquit; his vigorously outspoken disagreement with the economic views of Father Coughlin; his defense of Justice Hugo Black’s appointment to the Supreme Court; his repeated denunciation of anti-Semitism and his efforts to promote the cause of interracial justice; his boundless admiration for President Roosevelt, whom, by the way, he seldom met and by whom, in spite of persistent ru mors to the contrary, he was seldom consulted. These and many other in teresting facets of Msgr. Ryan’s distinguished career are chronicled in ample detail and with scholarly competence by Broderick. Taken together, they add up to a record in the field of social reform and social re construction which has never been equalled by any other Am erican Catholic. Msgr. Ryan was a great Am erican and a great social re former who “never forgot that he was a priest and that his busi ness was the salvation of souls.” The triumph of his ca reer, Broderick notes in the closing sentence of his fine bio graphy, "came from the skill with which he blended tradition al Catholic principles and the American progressive tra dition, from the recognition of his achievement both by the Church and by the nation, and from the translation of social justice into the law of the land during his own lifetime.” J Press Martyr A new commission has been formed at the Carmelite house of studies in Washing ton aimed at acquainting U. S. Catholics with the life of a priest who died in a nazi concentration camp because he urged American Catholic editors to denounce nazism. Father Titus Brandsma, O. Carm., shown above in his prison garb, was jailed for fighting efforts to turn the Catholic papers of the Neth erlands into nazi propaganda organs. Spiritual director of the Catholic Journalists’ So ciety of the Netherlands, he was sent to Dachau in 1942 where he died six months later. (NC Photos) TAKES OVER DIOCESE—Coadjutor Bishop Leo C. Byrne (left) has assumed the duties of Apostolic Administrator of the Wichita (Kan.) diocese followingthe retirement of Bishop Mark K. Carroll (right) because of ill health. Wichita Bishop R etires WASHINGTON, (NC)—Pope John XXIII has acceded to the desire of Bishop Mark K. Car- roll to retire from the admin istration of the Diocese of Wichita because of his ill health. The announcement was made by Archbishop Egidio Vagnozzi, Apostolic Delegate in the United States. The Holy Father has decided that Bishop Carroll will retain the title, “Bishop of Wichita,” but the present Coadjutor Bi shop, the Most Rev. Leo C. Byrne, will become Apostolic Administrator “sede plena” (the See being occupied). Bishop Carroll is a native of St. Louis, and had been director of the Pontifical Society for the Propagation of the Faith in the Archdiocese of St. Louis for 22 years at the time he was named Bishop of Wichita in 1947. He also marked the 25th anniversary of his or dination in 1947. Bishop Byrne is also a native of St. Louis. He was named Titular Bishop of Sabadia and Auxiliary to Joseph Cardinal Ritter, Archbishop of St. Louis, in 1954. In 1961, he was named Coadjutor Bishop with right of succession to Bishop Carroll of Wichita. Catholic Women’s Club Views Film Blessed Sacrament Home & School SAVANNAH—The Blessed Sacrament Home and School Association heard two very in teresting talks at its February meeting. Dr. Gaines E. Sewell, Jr. gave a treatise on flouridation and care of the teeth in which he stressed how, in his opinion, flouridation would be most beneficial to all. Monsignor Thomas A. Bren nan, Pastor, spoke to the gathering and told of the meet ing of the Teachers’ Institute comprising some two hundred Sisters and Lay Teachers of the Savannah Diocese held at the Blessed Sacrament School on February 15th and ,16th. Following this announcement Monsignor Brennan introduced Rev. Francis J. McCormack of the Vincentan Fathers who with Father John C. Hallahan were conducting a Mission in the Parish at the time. Father McCormack spoke on the Par ent-Child relationship and the moral education of both parent and child. He also discussed the present day steady dating of teenagers and “how morally inconsistent it is to all reason.” SAVANNAH—Mrs. Dorsey Smith of the Southern Bell Tel ephone Company was a special guest at the monthly meeting of the Catholic Women's Club. She showed a movie on House Decorations and Flower Ar rangements. Mrs. Rudolf Heitmann, First Vice President, presided in the absence of the President, Mrs. John Buckley, who was ill. Father Andrew Doris, O.S.B. gave an interesting and inspir ing talk on Lent. Mrs. Heitmann announc ed that on March 9th, Miss Mar garet Murden, Chairman of the Social Committee, assisted by Mrs. George Ebberweim, Mrs. J. J. McLaughlin, Mrs. E. J. Deacy, Mrs. E. F. Elmore and Mrs. Bernard Taylor, will serve with the USO Hospital ity Committee for the Dance at the Guards Armory. Miss Margaret Collins, Chairman of the Mamie Kel ly Memorial Fund, announced that the annual Fashion Show and Tea will be held on April 20th. Details to be announced later. Attention was called to the Annual Meeting of St. Mary’s Guild, which will be held Sun day, March 17th, at the Home, and all members were urged to attend. The Most Rev. Thom as J. McDonough will be the guest speaker. 7,000 Principals Warned Against Ignoring Power ious Belief Of Relig PITTSBURGH, (NC)—A Lon don educator told some 7,000 high school principals here that 4he depth and power of relig ious faith should not be ig nored in teaching the political sciences. John D. H. Eppstein, secre tary general for education of the Atlantic Treaty Association, spoke to the 47th annual con vention of the National Associa tion of Secondary School Prin cipals. The association is a division of the National Edu cation Association. Eppstein said that “politics”, fascinating as they are, are not the whole or even the most important part of life.” “It is not politics that brings half a million people on foot from the towns and villag es of Portugal to Fatima in the mountains on the 13th day of May, or even more to Czesto chowa on great occasions from all parts of Poland,” he said. “It is not politics that fills a vast stadium to hear Billy Graham. It is not politics that draws the patient pilgrims from all over the Moslem world to Mecca. It is not politics that has built the new Israel in the teeth of bitter enemies,” he added. Eppstein, a prominent En glish Catholic layman, empha sized what he considered “The best way of teaching world af fairs to the boys and girls in our secondary schools.” The Atlantic Treaty Associa tion has as a primary concern the teaching and study of inter national affairs in secondary schools. As the tirst fundamental, Eppstein reminded the educa tors, the vast majority of them public school administrators, that “international affairs is not an abstract science: it is about people—millions of men and women and children each with his or her own character, each one a spiritual universe, as Jacques Maritain says, each of infinite value in the sight of God, however we may have to lump them together for conven ience of description intonations and states and races and blocs. “It is man that matters,” he stated. Eppstein declared that he did not apologize for introducing a sense of moral purpose into discussion on the teaching of political sciences. “Without a social ethic there can be no civic responsibility and no con ception of national duty,” he said. “I am well aware,” Eppstein continued, “that among many teachers today—in my own country for instance—there is a disinclination to speak of the individual in relation to the national community or of the nation in its relation to other nations and the whole society of mankind in terms of right and wrong. “Moralizing and the over simplification of every issus into black or white can, of course, be dangerous and even ridiculous. But the fact remains that a distinctive fea- feature of that European Chris tian civilization of which, what ever our philosophical differ ences, we are all the heirs on both sides of the Atlantic, is the belief that there is an objective rule of justice apply ing to human collectivities as well as to individuals.” Hospital Nuns Persecuted In Ceylon COLOMBO, Ceylon, (NC)— “We are leaving only because we have to go,” said the last three nuns to leave Ragama Chest Hospital. The three nuns--Sister M. Alen^ (in Ceylon since 1923) who was superior of the Sis ters at the hospital, Sister M. Jemma (here since 1936) and Sister M. Anselma (here since 1946)—are Belgians and are returning to their order’s Bel gian headquarters for assign ment to other missions. Before the Ceylon govern ment started expelling Catho lic nursing Sisters from the country, the 17-ward Ragama hospital was served by 18 Sis ters.
