TakingPartinPublicLife
Says"America":Itwas,perhaps,the "fearofpublicity,"arelicleftbyages ofpersecution,whichinthepastbred disinclinationinmanyCatholicsto "takepartinpubliclife."Toooften, openhostilityshowedplainlythat "noCatholicneedapply,"andoften enough,theexigenciesofthenolitical gameexcludedtheCatholicfromhis rightfulparticipation,indiscussingand bringingtoaconclusion,questionsof publicinterest.
ButthewarhasbroughtCatholicsto thefrontinmanypublicconcerns.Our Bishops,surely,haveshownthatthey "arewelluponpublicquestions,"and ontheirpart,thelaityhaverespondedsplendidlytoeverycalloftheGovernment.

Iwasabouttobeginbysayingthat, ifevertherewasatimewhengood humourwasneeded,etc.-butthatis absurd,besidesbeingtriteandplayed out.Goodhumourhasbeenbadly neededatalltimes;andalltimes,it isconsolingandcheeringtoknow,have Seenremarkableforthepossessionof afundofgoodhumourandabandof goodhumourists. ACatholicBishophasgivenitas hisopinionthattheauthorofGenesis mostcertainlyhadasenseofhumour. Ileavebigquestionslikethattothe Bishops,butforaprinceofironycommendmetotheProphetElias.You rememberhisrecommendationstothe prophetsofBaal:"Andwhenitwas nownoon,Eliasjestedwiththem,saying,Crywithaloudervoice;forheis aGod,andperhapsheistalking,or isinaninn,orisonajourney,orperhapsheisasleep,andmustbeawakened."(III.Kings,18-27.) SacredScriptureis,ofcourse,fullof goodhumour,inthebroad,human senseofthatterm,andinanysenseof thetermthecross-examinationofthe manbornblindyieldssomethingthat isperilouslylikenewspaperfun. "They(theJews)thereforecalled themanagainthathadbeenblind,and saidtohim:"GiveglorytoGod.We knowthatthismanisasinner. "Hesaid,therefore,tothem:Ifhe beasinner,Iknownot:onethingI know,thatwhereasIwasblind,now Isee.Theysaidtohim:Whatdid Hetothee?HowdidHeopenthy eyes? "Heansweredthem:Ihavetold youalready,andyouhaveheard;why wouldyouhearitagain?Willyou alsobecomeHisdisciples?"(Onecan imagineaJerusalemjournalstating thatatthisjuncturelaughterhadto besuppressedincourt.)"Theyreviledhim,therefore,andsaid:Bethou His;butwearethedisciplesofMoses.

Inthe"LettersofaSelf-madeMerchant toHisSon"isislaiddownthataman whoisrightcanalwaysaffordtokeep histemper,whilstamanwhoiswrong cannotaffordtoloseit.ThePhariseesforgotthatrule,iftheyeverknew it,and,alreadynettled,theynowbecamesavage."Theyansweredand saidtohim:Thouwastwhollyborn insins,anddostthouteachus?And theycasthimout."iftheyonlyhad hadasenseofhumourtheynever wouldhavedoneso.Proudpeople neverhaveasenseofhumour.If theyhad,ofcourse,theycouldnotbe proud.OldFatherRodriguez,inhis classicon"ChristianPerfection,"tellsa storyofadonkeyinIndiathatwas carryinghomeaConsulwhowasbeing accordedatriumphforhisvictories.

FatherTomBurke,thegreatIrish Dominicanorator,usedtosaythata senseofhumourwasthegreatestpossiblehelptohumility.ThatisillustratedbywhatwelearnfromSt. FrancisXavier'sbiography.When peoplepraisedSt.Francis,heusedto smileat"thejoke."

IhavecalledSt.Philiponlytheforemostofcanonisedhumorists,because, ofcourse,manyothersaintswerealso humourists.CardinalNewmantells us,inhis"HistoricalSketches,"that, whenpersecutorsthreatenedSt.Basil thattheywouldtakehisliverout,the saintsaidthatnothingwoulddelight himmore,ashisliverhadbeenworryinghimfortwentyyears.Asaint madeapunonthenameofSt.Francis de-Sales,who,aswemightreadilyexpect,madeabetterpneback: "Tusales"("Thouartsalt")said theBlessedBishopofSaluzzotoSt. FrancisdeSales.
