TheMoneyExpended.

"First,themoneyexpendedonthem bythei-7buyers.Takingthepublished salesfigures,IcalculatethatCatholics spendroughly£70,000ayearonbuyingCatholicweeklies.Thatisan enormoussumforasmallbody.The GuildofRansomisseekingamillion poundfundthatitmayspendtheinterest,150.000ayear,ontheprovision ofnewchurchesthroughoutthecountry.Thatistosayitisstraining everysinewtogetconsiderablyless forchurchbuildingthanisspenton Catholicweeklies.

PopeafterPopehasinsistedonthat truth.Butthemagnitudeofthesum expendedcanbejustifiedonlybythe mostenormousservicestotheCatholic cause."

AnotherTest.

Mr.Sheedsaidthat8,600,000papers wereactuallysold.Onemillion C.T.S.twopennypamphletsaresold eachyear.,sothatCatholicpapersoutnumberthembyeight,toone.The factmeantthataveryhighstandard ofvaluewascalledforinourpapers.

IndirectValue.

Ingeneralthe-apologeticvalueofthe CatholicPress,saidMr.Sheed,forthe non-Catholicmustbeindirect:itmust beofusetohimbymakingitsCatholicreadersbetterabletobeofuseto him.Hethoughttherewasnodoubt atallthatathoroughlyinstructed practisingCatholiclaitywouldbring Englandagoodhalf-waytowardsconversion.EveryindividualCatholic wasapotentialinformationbureau, allthemorelikelytobeofuseto thenon-Catholicfornotbeingofficial. ItlayverylargelywiththeCatholic Presstomakethatpotentialityactual. CouldourPresseverhopeinany largewaytoreachthenon-Catholic world?Hedidnotseewhynot.In thegeneralindifferencetoreligion,Catholicismwasanexception:outdoors theCatholicplatformcouldalways secureitsshare,andoccasionallymore thanitsshare,ofanyaudiencethat happenedtobeabout:booksbyour leadingCatholicauthorswereseizedon almostavidlybythenon-Catholicreadingpublic. WithCatholicReaders.

ItlargelylaywiththeCatholicreaders:iftheyoncedecidedthataCatholicweeklywasonethattheycould safelyandprofitablyhandtotheir non-Catholicfriends,thenthething wouldbedone.

Obviouslythegreatworktobedone inthatfieldbytheCatholicPresswas thestrengtheningofthefaithofCatholicsagainstaworldwhichwasbeatinginonthemfromeveryside.No oneofusremaineduninfluenced137r theworldwelivedin.Quiteapart fromourownsins,wewereallina greaterorlessdegreeindangerof beingadulteratedCatholics.TheCatholicPresshadanunrivalledchance ofsafeguardingusagainstthedanger.

Thiscalledfora,highdegreeofactuality:themindoftheCatholicpressmanmustbemostsensitivelyalertto themovementsoftheworld.TheCatholicPresshaditschanceofholding asupernaturalstandardbeforeus.not revivialistically,butquitenaturallyas athingtobetakenforgranted.More correctlythemindofthepressman

wouldbeacutelyawareofshifting social-relationseverywhere,andtheir effectontheChristianlife.

WhatcouldtheCatholicPressdo? Obviouslyapointbypointslaughteringofeverythingsaidorwritten againsttheCatholicandChristianview wouldnotbepossible,andwouldnot bedesirable.

Itwouldnotbepossible(1)because theworstthingswerenot"points," butstatesofmind,thingsintheair, trendsoffeeling,currentsofopinion; (2)becauseinsofarastheywere pointstheywerhfartoonumerous.

The"Antidote."

MostEffectiveArgument.

JustastheMosteffectiveargument fortheChurchwasthetheChurch,so thesecondmosteffectiveargument wastheindividualCatholic:bywhat heis,theChurchwillsooftenbe judged.Here,too,wasthegreattest oftheapologeticvalueoftheCatholic Press:Whatitisismoreimportant thananythingitsaid.Wasitatruly representativeCatholicthing?Was itsatmospherethroughoutthevery bestCatholicatmosphere-theatmospherethateveryCatholicwoulddelighttobreathe?Wasitsomething bywhich,accordingtothemeasure inwhichAnypapercanbethattoany institution,weweresatisfiedthatmen shouldjudgetheChurch?Shouldwe breatheagreatsighofjoytoseeaCatholicpaperinthehandsofanintelligentnon-Catholic,inthecertainty thatnowhewasintouchwithauthenticCatholicismatitsbest?
