TheBishopofthe

ThepiOneerofmodernCatholicactionintheindustrialfieldwasBishop WilliamEmmanuelVonKetteler, knownasthe"BishopoftheWorkingmen.OpponentofMarxandtheMarxian theoryofthesocialisticcommonwealth, andfearlesschampionoftherightsof theoppressed,BishopKetteler'stheoriesarebecomingmorewidelyknown anduniversallystudiedasincreasing socialproblemshavebroughttheworld facetofacewiththenecessityofa trueChristiansolutionofsocialills. To-daytheyarethefoundationofa wholelibraryofChristiansocialliterature.Bismarck,hisbitterenemy.paid ahightributetohimwhenhedeclaredononeoccasion:"ConsultthewritingsoftheBishopofMainz:theyare cleverlywritten,pleasanttoread,and ineveryone'shands."PipePiusIX.. shortlybeforehisdeath,acknowledged thepowerofhisliteraryworkbydeclaring,"Youwieldagoodpen,my son."PopeLeoXIII.declaredof him:"Hewasmygreatprecursorin thelabourcause."

William

Emmanuel,BaronVonKetteler,wasbornatMunster,inWestphalia.onChristmasDay.1811.Though

ThesuggestedcommunismofBishop Kettelerdiffersessentiallyfromthe communismofKarlMarx,whowith FriedrichEngels,hadthatyearflung totheworldthe"CommunistManifesto,"thefuture.GospelofSocialism. Marx,confusingabuseswithinherent evils,strove,underthecoverofmaterialisticevolution,tosetclassagainst classindeadlyconflict.BishopKettelercriedoutagainsttheoppression ofthepoorandtheinjusticeofthe law.Heattributedinthelargest measurethepovertyofthemassesto thegodlessnessoftheschoolsandthe usurpationoftheauthorityofthe ChurchbytheState.Guidedbyhis principles,Christianmenhaveintroducedprofoundchangesinthesocial system.

NotableamongthepracticesadvocatedbyBishopKettelerwereaChristiansystemofco-operativeproduction, thefoundationofChristianlabour unions,theprohibitionofchildlabour infactories,theseparationofsexesin theworkshops,thelegalregulationof workinghours,Sundayrestforworkingmen,closingofunsanitaryworkshops,andtheobligationofcaringfor workmentemporarilyorpermanently incapacitated.Healsospokeout againsttheemploymentofwomenand younggirlsinfactories.

HisoppositiontoSocialismdidnot iniplyacondemnationofeveryform ofStateownership.HeformallyadvocatedgovernmentownershipofrailroadsinGermany,ontheprinciple thatgovernmentownershipofcertain definiteindustriesmaybedemanded forthecommongood,providingdue compensationbemadetotheprevious owners.

Butdespitehisherculeanlaboursin thelabourarena.BishopKettelerwas bynomeansinactiveinotherfields. Hisinfluencewasfeltinvariousdoctrinalcontroversies. The"school" whichKettelerestablishedatMainz wasnotedforitsadherencetoscholastictheologyandhostilitytotheantiRomantendenciesof"Germanscience." Althoughhedeclaredhehadalways believedinPapalInfallibility,hefearedthatitsdeclarationwouldresultin aPapal-absolutismandcentralisation, andaskedwhetherthetheological proofsputforwardsufficedtojustify itsdogmaticdefinition.Hewasnot presentatthefinalvote,butleftRome afterawrittendeclarationthathe submittedbeforehandtothedecision oftheCouncil.

Mostpeoplewhohavebeenhoping thattheanswertoMr.Baldwin'sproposalsforanarrangementoftheFranco-Germandifficulty,wouldproducea settlementhave.Ipresume,beenlookingforwardtothathappyresultasthe outcomeofthepolicyoutlinedbyMr. StanleyBaldwin,writesAlfredJ.Clayton,inaspecialarticletothe"Liver. poolCatholicTimes."Mr.Baldwinis a-gentlemanwhodoesnotcourtsensationalism.andhisplanwasofthat calm,deliberatecharacterwhich,one wouldthink,shouldproveacceptable tostatesmenwhohavereallyatheart thewelfareofEurope.Nodoubtthe terriblefallinthevalueofthemark startledandalarmedmanyoftheop-

TheGermanGovernmentcouldsee whatwascoming,andmanyefforts weremadetostaveoffthedanger.Of course,M.PoincareisalwaysofopinionthattheGermansarecol,ealing thetruestateofaffairs.Statements byBishopswhichhavebeenpublished intheCatholicPressprovethatthe Germanworkershavehadtocontend withmanyhardships,andinformation issuedbytheGovernmentmadeitoaly tooclearthatGermanywasonthe vergeoffamine.Thepolicewere warnedtotakeallnecessaryprecautionsagainstriotsbyanarchistsand nihilists.TheholdingofopenairdemonstrationswasaccordinglyprohibitedbythePrussianHomeMinister.
