THE EMERGING LAYMAN,
by Donald J. Thorman, Double
day, 1962, 234 pp., $3.95.
Reviewed by W. L, Schmidt.
The topic of the emerging lay-
may is very much in evidence
in the Catholic press. Indeed,
hope runs high that the layman
will enthusiastically and com
petently again fill his rightful
place in the Church, which is
being made available to him
after centuries of separation.
This hope is a vital thread that
runs throughout Mr. Gorman’s
work. The problems are many.
One of them is a freedom and
latitude of an action that particu
larly the middle aged layman,
who has long been used to “let
Father do it,” finds himself
and in which he finds it
difficult to learn how to act.
He has the tools at hand in the
outstanding papal encyclicals of
the past half century. The intel
lectual training he has finally
attained in America, and will
continue to develop, enables him
to use these tools. The theology
of the laity has been available
ever since St. Paul’s expres
sions on the Mystical Body of
Christ of which he, the layman,
is an integral part. Pius XII
himself wrote: “The lay apos-
tolate consists in this, that lay
men undertake tasks deriving
from the mission Christ en
trusted to His Church.”
The twenty chapter headings
are themselves an enumera
tion of the problems laymen face
today. Particularly interesting
are those headed “The New

Look in Clergy-Lay Relations,”
“Catholics in the Community,”
“The Layman and His Non-
Catholic Neighbor,’’ and “Ca
tholics and Controversy.”
Mr. Gorman, formerly man
aging editor of AVE MARIA,
and eminently conversant with
matters concerning the emerg
ing layman, writes with a force
fulness and clarity, and with
such comprehension of the pro
blem that makes this one of
those rare works that arouses
within the reader a profound
wish that every other Catholic
layman will take advantage of
the opportunity to absord its
contents for the good of him
self, the Church, and the total
workd community.
THE WIDE WORLD, MY
PARISH, Yves Congar, O. P.,
Helicon, 1961, $4.50, 188 pp.
Reviewed by Flannery O’Con
nor.
Fr. Congar’s book is con
cerned with eschatological
questions and the meaning of
salvation, particularly as it in
volves those outside the visible
church. His intention is to pro
vide “some elements” of ans
wers to' thoughtful people who
ask questions about the salva
tion of “the others.” This was
a question which hardly occur
red to the medieval mind, but
which has grown in urgency as
the world has been explored
and other cultures discovered.
Understanding of the formula,
“Outside the Church, no salva
tion,” has changed drastically
since the time of its originator,
St. Cyprian, who understood it
in an exclusive sense. Today it
is understood to mean that the
Church is the only institution to
which universal salvation is
committed, that she is the only
institution able to ensure salva
tion for every person who does
not refuse it.
There are equally good dis
cussions here of the meaning of
hell and the nature of purgatory
and of the resurrection of the
body. Altogether this is an ad
mirable book. Significantly its
title has been suggested by a
quotation from John Wesley,
“I look upon the world as my
parish.”
