Bishop McDonough Tells Augusta Deanery
Go Forth And Teach
Is Mandate To Laity
“ ‘Go forth and teach all na
tions’ is a mandate to the laity
as well as the priesthood” Bi
shop Thomas J. McDonough told
the women at the annual meeting
of the Augusta Deanery Council
of Catholic Women at the Elk’s
Club in Dublin, Sunday after
noon. His Excellency warned
that “Our Country is not atheis
tic, but has become material
istic.” Bishop McDonough ex
pressed his gratification at the
progress of the expansion and
building program of the diocese,
but reminded his audience that
“Stones, brick and mortar with
out souls to vivify them’’ cannot
fulfill the purpose for which they
were built. His Excellency stat
ed that the role of the layman
came into prominence dur
ing the reign of Pius X and
continues to be a vital force,
but that the real meeting of a
priest and laity is at “The al
tar of God.’’
Miss Pauline Peuffier, re
tiring president, announced that
the Augusta Deanery had re
ceived a citation for disting
uished service from the Aug
usta Chapter of the Mental
Health Association and thanked
everyone for the wholehearted
cooperation and support that she
had received during her two
years in office.
Msgr. John D. Toomey,
diocesan spiritual moderator,
announced that the theme of the
forthcoming convention would
be “To Restore all Things to
Christ.” Reservations for this
session which is to be held
May 11 and 12 in Columbus
should be made with the res
pective parish presidents not
later than May 8th.

how validity baptized Christians
can achieve sanctity.
“For the greater part of her
life, Elizabeth Ann Seton was
a Protestant,’’ Cardinal Ritter
said. “It was only in the last
15 years of her life of 46 years
that she became a Catholic.
“This Early American wo
man was undoubtedly a saint
long before she became a Ca
tholic. The treasure she always
had was enriched by her com
ing into the bosom of Mother
Church, but she had that treas
ure by her Protestant Bap
tism, by her Anglican Bap
tism.”
The Cardinal said Mother Se
ton—first native American to be
raised to beatification—under
stood and carried the cross.
“She became a saint only be
cause she became more and
more detached from all that is
human, all that is natural, and
became closer to God,” she
said.
Cardinal Ritter said her bea
tification could lead to the re
newal of faith among American
Catholics.
* ‘This first officially de
clared sanctity in the United
States may be a cause for re
newal not only for the nuns—
because she founded the Sis
ters of Charity in the United
States—but also for all the
laity, young and old, poor and
rich alike,” the Cardinal said.
Cuba Terror
“God’s Trial”
MEXICO CITY, (NC)—The
Castro persecution is a trail
sent by God to purify the Church
in Cuba, one of the leaders in the
illfated Bay of Pigs invasion told
a meeting of exiled Cuban Ca
tholic students here.
“Our Catholicism has greatly
purified itself,” said Manuel
Artime. “Now it is a militant
Catholicism, a strong Catholi
cism and one of proven martyr
dom under persecution.”
Artime warned that the
battleground for the recapture
of Cuba will be fought in the
minds of youth, and that it will
be fruitless to go into this
struggle without a strong philo
sophy to oppose communism.
RIO DE
Jaime Cardinal de Barros Ca
mara has praised Gov. Carlos
Lacerda of Guanabara state for
banning a communist Cuban Sol
idarity Congress here.
The Archbishop of Rio de
Janeiro, capital of Guanabara
state, told the governor: “I
laud the energetic action of
Your Excellency, based on le
gal measures, which prevents
Guanabara from becoming a
field of agitation.”
A message to Lacerda from
the Catholic-oriented Brazilian
Labor Crusade declared: “This
congress of solidarity with Cu
ba actually means a solidarity
with the crimes of the traitor
of the Americas against work
ers, the family and religion.”
Lacerda issued a decree ban
ning the congress and called in
state troopers to enforce his
ban. His decree said the or
ganizers of the congress had
called it to make it “the out
post of the Latin American re
volution.”
He pointed out that Brazil’s
constitution and laws “forbid
war propaganda, class struggle
and the tools for subverting
constitutional order.”
Before Lacerda’s action,
Cardinal de Barros Camara had
expressed regret that a “mem
ber of the government support
ed the Castroist propaganda.”
The call to the Red congress
was singed by Brazilian Labor
Minister Almino Afonso.
“To avoid certain suicide,”
the Cardinal said, “democracy
must use all possible means of
defense, even though they may
be disagreeable.”
Because of the governor’s
ban, delegates to the congress
were forced to hold a poorly
attended meeting in nearby Ni-
teroi which is in Rio de Jan
eiro state.

Urban
Renewal
LOUISVILLE, Ky., (NC)—
Churches have an essential role
in urban renewal—that of bring
ing “human compassion” to
play on the process, a Chicago
priest said here.
This point was made in an in
terview by Msgr. John Egan,
director of the Chicato Arch
diocesan Conservation Council,
which acts as a liaison between
the archdiocese and urgan re
newal officials.
“Remembering human rights
and dignity is one of urban re
newal’ s major duties,” Msgr.
Egan said. “There must be a
compassionate reaction to those
displaced people.
“Before people are aked to
leave the homes of their choice,
there should be places for them
to live without overcrowding
other areas,” he declared.
Urban renewal must be a
matter of active concern to an
entire metropolitan area, the
monsignor stressed. “It’s not
just a problem for the city fa
thers. What is going to affect
a certain section of a city will
effect everyone,” he said.
Msgr. Egan said all church
es must work together on urban
renewal matters because
“these are human problems, be
they Protestant, Catholic or
Jewish.”
“All of our churches are es
sential to the reconstruction of
our communities, for only
through them is true human
compassion motivated,” he
said.
