PLENARY COUNCIL FOR ENGLAND AND WALES First of Its Kind For 63 Years FORMER SYNODS AND PERSONALITIES RECALLED

A t the Synod of 1852, Newman gave his famous discourse, "The Second

The English Hierarchy was restored in September, 1850' and the first Provincial Synod of Westminster was held in July, 1852. It lasted 13 days. About 50 prelates and priests went to Oscott fur this assembly—the 13 BisIn bps, deputies from the Chapters, heads of the religious orders and the ecclesiastical colleges, theologians 'brought by the Bishops or specially invited, among the latter Newman and Manning. The Synod was celebrated with the full prescribed pomp and Oremonial, with Pontifical Masse, and sermons preached by Wiseman, Newman. and Man"The Second Spring." Cardinal Newtnan's sermon w as the famous discourse, "The Second Spring." Manning's was remarkable for the fact that he had been a Catholic only a year and a priest nine months, and was still doing his theological studies. Following is the late Abbot Butler's account.of the Synod in his "Life of Ullathorne": "The work of the Synod was to meet the needs of the new situation created by the Hierarchy. and to draw up a body of legislation based on the common

In the Synods of 1855 and 1859, Cardinal Wiseman continued his policy of large-minded development decpite growing opposition

The English Catholic weekly, the "Universe," has received official intimation of the fact that a Plenary Council for England and Wales has been authorised by the Holy Father. News of the Pope's decision was conveyed to the Bishop of Nottingham, Monsignor McNulty, as secretary to the Board of Bishops. The purpose of these assemblies is the discussion and decision of matters relating to faith, morals and discipline. All the Bishops of the country have been notified, and will at once set about making their own preparations. No decision has been made as to the date of the gathering. In a statement to the - Universe" last month, Bishop McNulty said that a tremendous amount of preparatory work was entailed. His Lordship did not even know if the Plenary Council would be held this year. It was also not yet known, the Bishop said, where the Council would meet. He presumed, however, that it w ould be held in London, and probably at Westminster. So far not one of these points had been considered. A similar gathering has not been held since 1873, when the last of the four Provincial Synods of Westminster was held. Since that time the Provinces of Birmingham, Liverpool and Cardiff have been estamished. canon law, but adapted to the conditions existing in England. "Statutes and decreeE, running to 60 pages, were passed, divided into 30 sections and regulating for Bishops, Chapters, clergy, regulars, nuns, for the administration of the Sacraments, and the other elements of t atholic Church life. "The proclaimed motive of the Bull setting up the Hierarchy was to establish a reign of normal canon law in England; yet this was not carried out in its fulness, for England still remained under Propaganda as a 'missionary' country. Difficulties. "Though the Bishops were highly pleased with their improved position, the clergy suffered disappointment at finding that their canonical position and rights had not been secured to them. Especially had they hoped that the canonical territorial episcopal sees would carry with them as corollary a system of parishes with parish priests, enjoying the legal position and rights, as of fixity of tenure, belonging to parish priests in Catholic countries, such as Ireland or France. "The Bishops saw objections and difficulties in the way, and considered that most of the missions were of too inchoate a character to allow of their being made canonical parishes. Before the Synod they had laid the case before Propaganda, and had obtained a decree sanctioning a postponement in carrying out this -part of the Canon law. Compromise . "As a compromise they were authorised to choose out some of the principal missions and institute in them 'missionary rectors,'

irremovable except at the instance of a formal ecclesiastical court, but without other the rights of parish priests. "This arrangement was declared in the Acts to be a step towards the gradual introduction of the parochial system; but no advance was made for more than 60 years, until England was w ithdrawn from the control of Propaganda, and the new Codex of Canon Law came into operation in 1918, under which the missions were erected into parishes with parish priests." Differences. The second Synod took place in July, 1855, again at Oscott. 'Wiseman, Ullathorhe and Faber preached the sermons.

Consolidation. The fourth Synod was at 'Ware, at St. Edmund's College, under Cardinal Manning, and opened on July 21, 1873, with a magnificent sermon by Bishop Ullathorne on the Sanctification of the Clergy, which has since become a classic. Says Abbot Butler: "The work of the Synod was, for the most part, the co-ordination and consolidation of that of the three earlier ones. ( Continued on Back Cover.) •

Nearly 200,000 Petition for Beatification of The complete vindication of General Calles, ex-President of Mexico, as devout patriot, hierophant of righteousness, and benevolent ruler, imbued in all his action solely by the desire to lead the country to happiness and fortune, has been issued in Mexico City—by General Calles himself. The General has been torn complete from his vow of silence to make his apologia, by the bitter attacks of his erstwhile friends and colleagues of the Socialist and Revolutionary persuasion. "When I left the country, I did so with the firm intention of r emaininp- aloof from all political activity," says Calles at the outset of his statement, but the inhibition has made severe demands upon his fortitude if one is to judge by the impassioned spate of self-justification that has burst the bounds of restraint. He first takes full responsibility for all official ordinances and enactments during his years of office, declaring also that: "All r esponsibility for the religious conflict provoked at that time for too well-known reasons is mine." Well known those reasons for the religious conflict certainly are. but an interpretation will be placed upon them by many millions that will be widely divergent from those that the General would suggest.

Vet. "I am a man who has Preached respect for institutions," naively expostulates Calles, "and have always held to . . . paths of honour, compliance with duty . . ." and he demands to know whether there is one to come forward with an accusation that he has "on any occasion heard from my lips an evil counsel or an insinuation that he abandons compliance with duty." An Ill-Used Man? The virginal sheet which General Calles scans was an introspective eye makes one wonder whether the great patriot is not almost as maltreated as the man was "was shot because he was too good to live," rather than, as an immense body of impartial opinion strongly affirms, a monster of cruelty to thousands of compatriots for no other reason than unnatural hatred of their service to God and humanity.

We believe that Western freedom and culture are in danger—indeed, are threatened with destruction. No commonwealth is free in which any minority is deprived of the right of absolute equality before the law. We do not ask for favours: we ask for human rights. What has taken place in Germany is a deliberate challenge to the teachings of Judaism and Christianity, whose moral ideas are the basis of Western culture." "We know," the proclamation adds, "the theory that there can he no interference in the internal affairs of a nation. But we also know that there is such a thing as a unity of the moral culture of the Western world. This is threatened wherever any minority is exposed to the tyranny and contempt of the majority. We appeal to all that is best in Western culture, and to all those who have power and can exert influence, to find a way to defend the rights of human beings as against brutal force which seeks to destroy them. We have confidence in the better nature of man, and in the stored up power of the heritage of the ideals of love and justice which from the land of our fathers came the Western world."

Another River Trip on Tuesday N.:din response to the request ot members, we have decided to hold another river trip on Tuesday next, February 18. These trips are now a regular and popular feature of our social life, and each week sees a larger crowd enjoying themselves. The trip last week was one of the most successful yet held. Everybody spent a most enjoyable evening, and it was with regret that we departed from the Canning Bridge Tea Rooms at 11 o'clock on the homeward trip, our chief consolation being the fact that another trip is scheduled for next w eek.

Convent of Mercy, Bunbury. Prizewinners, 1935

In a New Year M essage in the "Westminster Cathedral Chronicle." Archbishop Hinsley says:

"The world is .full of discord. We who are 'a little flock' must work in unity. We must strive to promote around us a peace for which the world clamours, but which, in spite of its efforts and shouting, the world cannot secure. . . . Here, in our country. social and economic conditions do not make for internal peace. Social justice and charity are too widely disregarded. Prayer and works on our part are needed to create a better order in society. To disregard present day evils, to let things slide, to be indifferent to the wrongs and sufferings of the poor and of the helpless would result in a chaos of bitter class-hatred and conflict. . . T trust that You will support me in the plan we are starting for the protection of women and girls, for the rescue of children, for the improvement of our schools and for the building of new schools."

brutal theories are let loose on a nation, they are engineered by a small influential minority in conjunction with a subtle though poisonous press campaign. This latter feature has not been lacking in regard to euthanasia, but we need not remind Catholics that the modern press can make little pretence of voicing public opinion, seeing that it almost ignores the Catholic viewpoint on moral questions. But one queer twist in the modern mind favours such A great many people imagine that because a meaa proposal. sure is passed (by Heaven alone knows what means) through Parliament, its secular legality settles the matter definitely for the consciences of the subjects of the State. Nothing could be more false. The modern State continues to expand and to encroach arrogantly, and frequently ignorantly. upon what are, by essence, inalienable individual or family rights. Even should euthanasia be formally declared legal, Catholics would regard it as offensively ultra vires, as is such State legislation on marriage, education and sterilisation.

It has grown very difficult for the modern Catholic to appreciate to the full the modern "problems" so earnestly and insistently presented by the press and the cinema for the elucidation of the ptiblic. The whole difficulty for the Catholic lies in the fact that no real problem exists. In the cinema it was mostly lust that was the alleged problem; in the press it is some phase or other of the These things were never problems for Canew immorality. tholics, nor should they have been for Christians of any sort; they simply were, and are, grievous sins. The fact that they are published, broadcast, and discussed openly in the best circles, does not minimise their intrinsic ugliness, but rather adds to them the furNor are they softened by the ther unlovely savour of scandal. imposing euphremism by which they are known or by the pretence of modernity. They are all very old and all very ugly. The "problem" of the moment is whether it is lawful or not for the strong to murder the weak. The actual problem for Catholics is how we may take measures to prevent the strong murdering the The peculiarly offensive atmosphere which surrounds the weak. euthanasia proposals is that they are motivated, so they claim, by Christian charity. But charity begins at home, while the advocates of "mercy murder" invariably begin next door. So devastatingly self-effacing do they grow in the light of their own proposals that one is made suspicious by the very intensity of their love for their neighbours. Humanitarianism will only, however, become convincing when it becomes concretely personal. Let the eugenists offer first themselves and thier families on the gruesome altars of their sacrifice. If Lord Moynihan had a mind to despatch his grandmother, it would make his general attitude more comprehensible. • Even Of all heretics the humanitarian is the most narrow. such men as Luther and Calvin preserved some spiritual outlook, however distorted and awry. But the humanitarian is of the earth, earthy. To him the ultimate criterion of value is utility. He finds no substance in moral qualities such as courage, patience, fortitude and heroism. In the last analysis, he weighs humanity in the economic scale, and it is the incurably sick who are found wanting. But if the ruthless logic of Catholicism turned cynical and demanded of what "use" was humanitarianism, that vast and vague belief in the brotherhood of men, they would be compelled to confess that from a purely rational viewpoint it was useless and even ludicrous. Men are brothers only because they hail a common Father. and that notion was given the world by Jesus Christ. Humanitarianism, in its newest and grossest form—euthanasia —exhibits the breakdown of natural religion. It illustrates that if men. are looking to their own human instincts as a sufficient rule of morality, they are looking to blind guides. They have both fallen into the ditch, and an especially messy one at that. Euthanasia has a much older name; it has been known from the days of Cain as murder. But to this extent it is so much more aggravated than the usual crimes of passion. It is premeditated, knows no remorse, chooses as it victims the old and the defenceless, and compasses their destruction under the hypocritical pretexts of mercy and charity. The humanitarians began by rejecting the They have supernatural demands of Christianity as too hard. ended by finding the most urgent and pitiful demands of humanity too burdensome. Their early slogan against Christianity was "no rigourism ;" their latest is against humanity "No quarter," The exponents of the crudities of euthanasia will stand as eternal types of the irrational reformer who commenced his career by demanding that men should be soft in their emotions, and bids fair to end it by demanding that they should be soft in the head. Our advanced humanitarians actually support their own wild evolutionary fancies. They appear as throw-backs, infinitely inferior, however, to an age which believed it to be a splendid and becoming thing to die for one's country. They are eternally convulsed with admiration at the spectacle of someone else dying for the good of the fatherland. The potentialities of the old proverb they have transferred to actuality. It would sincerely appear as though the humanitarians are going to prove the death of us. But always, the personal application is missing.. We still await with Dr. Downey, the high-minded euthanasiast who will stand out before his fellowmen and say: "Brothers, I am sixty-one. My work on earth is done. Peace must follow after storm, hand me down the chloroform." It cannot, however, he seriously considered that England has, to such an extent, lost grip on the Catholic tradition, that a primitive and barbaric proposal such as Lord Moynihan's should reWherever these degraded and ceive an wide public support.

The evening press during the week featured the notable social work of a Budapest police clairvoyant. Two unusual characteristics of his activities were given. Firstly, his power is used for the general benefit of humanity and not as a means of making money; and, secondly, his divinations are made at any time and in a normal state without any hypnotic condition or "spiritist preparations." While these observations are very interesting, they do not bear upon the main moral issue. Are clairvoyance, hypnotism, animal magnetism, and other manifestations of the occult arts acceptable in themselves or in their effects, however apparently good, to Christians? The Press, of course, has not heard of such a viewpoint. Clairvoyance is good "copy." The general public, on the other hand, finds it interesting reading without troubling overmuch whether it may have serious spiritual consequences. But the Church, in Her unique comprehensiveness, has recognised in the occult arts very grave potential dangers to the spiritual welfare of Catholics. Hence consultations with fortune-tellers or their more fashionable duplicates, palmists and clairvoyants, may easily involve one in serious sin. Where they fall short of doing so, it is through their not being taken seriously. But once the oracle undertakes to reveal the future, the limits of lawfulness are overstepped and wrong begins. Of course, not every oracular statement can be regarded in the light of a prophecy. Many of them are couched in such vague and general terms as to be distinctly probable, while others are based upon external indications significant to a keen observer. Still, none can afford to trifle with such matters, which, if not directly evil, lie at least on the borderline of a whole dark realm which militates against faith. Attachment to divination constitutes a sin against the First Commandment, for, to seek knowledge of what cannot possibly be known by natural means, implies invoking the aid of the Evil One, either expressly or virtually. Even though the immediate effects appear good, it s still not justifiable, for Catholic theology insists that one may not do the slightest evil in or der that the greatest good may result.

The literal view, commonly held by the Fathers, interprets the six days as literal days of twenty-fours hours each.

The Concordat theory regards the six days as indefinite periods of time, and aims to reconcile Genesis with the data of science by wav of concordance. This view is rejected by many Catholic scholars, because it tends to make religion subordinate to the ever varying and contradictory hypothesis of science.

There are boys seeking apprenticeships in engineerinfr. carpentry. building and electrical trades; boys and girls for commencing positions in offices and shops, some with experience, and some battling to complete the Junior Certificate at night classes in the acceptance of the necessity to find work during the day. There are some with accountancy knowledge seeking to apply it in a permanent position. There are youths able to drive a car, amongst other qualifications, po tential salesmen and travellers, and a few for farm work.

In the hope that the mutual interchange of ideas in regard to the Secondary Schools' University curriculum may be of interest and assistance to students and teachers alike, "The Record" has decided to devote a page weekly to these discussions. The results of our Catholic schools in the past (and especially in the year just terminated) have been outstandingly meritorious and it would be ungracious were not the local Catholic press to acknowledge the fine records established and to do all in its power to foster and encourage their maintenance. It is with pleasure, then, that the Catholic teachers of the secondary schools are invited to contribute to this page, and to use it to the fullest advantage in discussion and the exchange of ideas so essential to true education.

We are very pleased to learn that Mrs. Horan is now convalescent and will soon be enjoying good health again. It is with regret that we have to report that Mrs. Pauley. of Boulder. is not in very good health and is confined to hospital for a time. Miss E. Colman, of Brookrnan-street, is also an inmate of St. John of God's Hospital for a short while, but we hope she will soon be in good health again. Mr. Eddie McBride left Kalgoorlie last Wednesday after spending the Christmas vacation here, to take up his ecclesiastical studies at Werribee. Mr. Frank Devitt, who is also a student at Werribee, will not be returning for two or three week.

Kidnapping of Sandy McDougall

The Mermaids' Stronghold, Indian Ocean. February 13, 1936. Darling Aunt Bessy,—I w.ite to you in fear and terror, not knowing at what moment a mermaid or one of the awful Seven will swoop down upon me and try to flirt with me, for, as you know, I'm not able for anything like that, especially with the leaky heart valve that is still leaking badly and leaving me feeling like a fortnight —I mean too weak to assert my powers of resistance. This is now the thirteen,. lay of my imprisonment in these terrible no earthly quarters of the sea, and if help does not come soon, I am afraid I will be sold as a slave to King Neptune as he is expected here at the end of the month, and one of the mermaids told me confidentially that the sirens always try to appease his chronic wrath by presenting him with a new curio whenever he passes through this particular part of his possessions. Will you try and tell mum and dad and Mrs. McTavish and my bullfrog that my life is in danger? I can't write to any of them, and I am wondering if I will succeed in getting this delivered to you safely: I am entrusting it to a shoal of oysters who seem rather friendly towards me, and who are booked up for the Strand Cafe on St. Valentine's Day.

FURTHER THREATS FROM THE BOLD BAD SIRENS Mermaids Not to Blame

Since that horrible evening when I felt myself being pulled out of bed at the Never: Die Hospital, I have not stopped making acts of contrition I told you about being so ill and about Miss Nan Dunphy helping me to write the Well, one of my last letter. Sirens got wind that there was an attractive young Scotchman in the hospital, and she used to serenade me every night ,and I thought it was Miss Dunphy and I started to make a duet of the serenade. Then the night be fore 'I was kidnapped the six other Sirens started singing a glorious part song outside my window, and about two dozen mermaids beckoned me to go for a swim, but as I was afraid of the night air I didn't respond to the invitation and that made the Sirens mad. Next evening just at dusk three powerful mermaids jerked themselves in through my window, put my head in a bag, and the rest of me in a mosquito net, and when I regained consciousness I was down here among the jelly fish, and sword fish, and the whole seven villainesses were holding a council meeting as to whether they would deliver me to the mercies of the sharks or demand a ransom. I told them to decide on the ransom. that I was sure You and mum and dad and Mrs. McTavish and the Cornerites would rather pay anything than feel that I was treated so cruelly, so the' settled the ransom at 1.50, and sent word to that effect to poor dad and mum. Aunt Bessy. I could not have the heart to wish You were here, because she would die of fright, but it is horribly depressing to see the sirens and mermaids doing perpetual motion around me. and chanting the Dead March in Saul, and the head singer said they will sing it on the day I am eaten. If I wasn't going to he eaten there are a lot of things down here that I would feel interested in—beau tiful things. you know, and the mer maids themselves are gentle, harmless creatures, but they are completely under the sway of the sirens and they are the sisters of old Nick If you find that my Ransom can't be paid, will you give the bullfrog to Donald MacPherson, and ask him to treat it as a gentleman the same as he treat ed me last year all through our Boxing Contest. Tell him not to give the little fellow meat on Fridays. be cause I never gave him the habit of it. but he's partial to ice cream. Also, mum will fend a piece of my kilt that the magpie pulled out of place three years ago in dad's belltolyner case in the wardrobe, and after you're sure I've been eaten by the shark vne could send that to Mary Snoveins. and tell her when she looks on it I hope she will feel sorry for all she has said about me in the past I wish I had something to leave You and the Cornerites and the Busbies, because rm sure I can't expect to e.c,t ransomed, so soon after all the hard work v'oti've Ail done for the Busbies last year. onlv AiAn't kidnap myself.

I gave Sister some pennies for the cards before the holidays, but I did not send you a letter. I will be going back to school son. I do like reading the letters in your "Rec•rd." Love from, NORMA MAY HARDIE. Dear Norma May,—Welcome into one of the front seats in the Corner, and we are delighted to have you here. as we will be delighted to have you in the Brigade too when we start off in real earnest. I am sure you will feel terribly sorry for my poor Sandy, but say a prayer we will be able to ransom him by February 25, as those sirens and meramids are very cruel kind of people. AUNT BESSY. amme.

136 Harold-street, Highgate. Dear Aunt Bessy,—I am glad to be back in the Corner again for 1936. 1 promised Sister I would write to you during the holidays, as she thought you might get lonely without us. I have just been reading some of your letters in "The Record," and mum likes reading them too. How lovely it was to get the £700 for the Bushies. How much are we going to try to get this year? (Wait till the clouds roll by, Dulcie. I'm too worried about Sandy to think of money.) The holidays will soon be over and mum will be glad when we return to school. My little sister, Lillian, and my two cou. sins will be coming back with me to the Sacred Heart this year. Did you see the new boys' school in Haroldstreet, that is just in front of our place? (No; I haven't been up your way lately.) George is only seven, so he can't go there yet. I hope you and the Bushies had a happy Xmas I will get a green card from Sister when school opens. Good-bye: lots of love from your little niece, DULCIE MYRA H.ARDIE. Dear Dulcie.—You have come back just in time to keep my heart together, because since I heard about poor Sands- being kidnapped it has fallen almost into pieces. If we are able to ransom him by Pancake Tuesday I might be able to think about the Bushies again, but if the sirens and mermaids beat us probably I will die from a broken heart during Lent.

Drift away—the great world seeming But a busy hum of life, Peace within my soul displacing Weary strife. Ah, my picture, thou dost tell me, Of the Calvary where He died! Through the gloom I see my Saviour Jesus crucified. See the nails His dear hands rending. As those saw who once "passed by"; Torture, love, and sorrow blending— Jesus, why? See the thorns His brow entwining. See the irvid marks of blows, Insult, mockery combining— Why these woes?

THE SINNER'S GRIEF. "There are many sorrows in this world, but no sorrow like to that of a soul that has fallen And there and refuses to rise. are many joys; but no joy can eqtal the joy of the soul that may have wandered a little, but at last leaps forward to the .arms of its Father, and clings about His neck, and tells Him it has learnt its lesson, and that henceforth nothing shall tear it from His embrace. Such a soul is not the worse, but far the better for its bitter experience. It now knows what it did not know before; it now can help others in ways it never could have helped them otherwise; for that reason, perhaps, Peter was permitted to pass through the ordeal, and Paul and Augustine and many more. The school of grief has been the school of Apostles."—Archbishop Goodier

Catholic News from Everywhere Irish President Bereaved

German Catholic Leader

BRIAN DE VA LERA KILLED.

NAZI OFFENSIVE ON CATHOLIC YOUTH.

The death of President De Valera's fourth Son, Brian, took place in Dublin on Sunday, in tragic circumstances. The young man—he was 20 years of age— was an engineering student at Dublin University. With his cousin he was galloping in Phoenix Park when his head struck a branch. He was unseated, and his horse dragged him some distance before he could be released and taken to hospital. He died there in the presence of his father. The King- has asked the Irish Free State High Commissioner in London (Mr. J. W. Dulanty) to express His Majesty's sympathy with Mr. De Valera (President of the Free State Executive Council), in the death of his son Brian. The Dominions Secretary (Mr. Malcolm MacDonald) has also sent a message to Mr. De Valera.

PLENARY COUNCIL FOR INGLAND AND WALES ( Continued from Front Cover.)

"Manning's idea dominated the legislation; the formation of diocesan seminaries in all dioceses strong enough was pressed; the Catholic University was recognised as being as yet impracticable, but was asserted as the aim to be kept in view, and a temporary step was adumbrated, such a s materialised in the Kensington College (which, unfortunately failed for a great variety of primary reasons) ; education, and secondary, was dealt with, especially a scheme for safeguarding religious instruction in the schools; and elaborate regulations were enacted for setting up high standards of life for the clergy." Warnings. This Synod is memorable because it was in 1870 that the first general Education Act for the whole country was passed which has given a rise to the problems that have been with us ever since. The Bishops laid down the same claim of right and justice that they have maintained ever since. given Warnings were also against mixed marriages, and the c onditions published under which alone they could be tolerated. This Synod was also largely occupied with the controversy between Cardinal Manning and

the regulars, particularly the The Synod rose withJesuits. out passing any decree on the subject, and it was only after two years more of protracted discussions and appeals to Rome that the controversy ended by the Roman decree which now reg-ula tes the relations between the Bishops and the regulars.

According to recent cables, the conflict between Church and State is again coming to the foreground. The secret police struck another blow at Catholic youth organisations when they arrestod Monsignor Volkei. their president, and also about 20 other important officials. It is believ• ed the arrests reflect Nazi im patience at the compromise with the Church on the youth question, and they are regarded as a step towards the suppression of all lay Catholic Action. Two of the largest churches in Munich w ere crowded to hear Cardinal Faulhaber denounce the anti-Catholic tendencies of Nazism and the un-Christian influence brought to bear on youthful members of the Nazi Party. The sermon was relayed from the church in which the Cardinal preached, and thousands waited to see the Cardinal and ex-Crown Prince Rupprecht of Bavara arrive. The streets were impassable and iso-

lated individuals attempting to shout "Heil Hitler !" were quick ly suppressed.

Film Made in Convent For the first time in France, scenes in the lives of an enclosed r eligious community have been filmed, for inclusion in "The Enclosed," which has just been generally reieased. With special ecclesiastic permission, the cam-

Shepherd Convent, Angers, of daily occurrences in the lives of the Sisters, and also in actual clothing ceremonies. The film is warmly praised by the Catholic Press.
