HowTheyFoundtheChurch

DisillusionandGraceConvertedaBritishRed DouglasHydeWasSwayedbytheChester-BellocSchool

(Oneofaseriesonnoted convertstoCatholicitybasedon "TheRoadtoDamascus,"currentbestsellereditedbythe Rev.Dr.JohnA.O'Brien,Doubleday&Company,Inc.Garden City,N.Y.$2.50).

WhenDouglasHyde,news editoroftheLondonDaily Workerforfiveyearsanda Communistfor20,hadputthe firsteditiontobedonthenight ofMarch14,1948,hewalked intotheofficeoftheeditorand announcedhisresignation.Five dayslater,onMarch19,the frontpagesofBritishnewspapersheadlinedthestorythat HydehadrenouncedCommunismand,withhiswifeand children,joinedtheChurch.

Theconversionisoneofthe mostsignificantofourgeneration,foritistobehopedthat it,marksthebeginningofarallyingofthedefendersofWestern cultureandcivilizationaround thebanneroftheChurch,the onlyhopeofthatcivilization.

DirectActionNeeded ToCombatCommunism

InHyde'sownwords:"Inthe lastresortIbelieveitisnowa questionofChristianityorCommunism.Theycannotcoexist. Eitherwesinkintotheimmoral depthsorwerediscoverthat faithandcultureandthosespiritualvalueswhichoncebound diversenationstogetherintoa singlewholecalledChristendom.

"ButtheconquestofCommunismwillhavetobeachieved bypositiveCatholicAction,not simplybynegativeanti-Communism.andleastofallbythe atombomb,forBolshevism thrivesonmiseryanddevastation."

Bornin1908ofMethodistparents,DouglasHydeattheageof 17startedtostudytheologyin preparationforbecomingamissionaryinIndia.Butbeforethe yearwasout,hehadjoinedthe Communistparty.Hiswhole adultlifehadbeenspentinthe Communistcauseuntil,ashe says,"politicaldisillusionment andsanctifyinggracecombined tochangemefromanalmost lifelongCommunisttoaCatholic."

CommunismOffered

ANewWorld,Ideals

Thereweremanythingsin theCommunistpartyin1928, saysHyde,thatappealedtoa thoughtfulyouthpossessedof hisfullshareofidealism."I wantedtoidentifymyselfwith thepoor,thedowntrodden,the victimizedandpersecuted.The Communistpartyappearedto metofightforallthese.Like mostyouths,Iwantedtobreak freefromconvention-andthe Communistpartywascertainly unconventional.Iwantedanew world,andtheCommunistshad onetooffer.Iwasattractedby thesepeoplewho,inaworld whichappearedtobedrifting along,knewexactlywherethey weregoingandhowtheywere goingtogetthere."

Inconsideringthingsnowthe one-timeCommunistcansay: "ThesinoftheFascistswasthat theyorganizedthelowestand theworstonthebehalfofabad cause.ThesinoftheCommunists,however,isagreaterone; theytakesomeofthemostactiveandintelligentoftheworkingclass,themostpromisingof theintelligentsia,andpervert them;theytakethebestqualitieswhichareinalltoosmall asupplytodayanddistortthem, usingthemforendsthatareevil.

EventheU.S.S.R.'scorrupt dealwithNaziGermany"seemed onlyacleverpieceofmilitary andpoliticalexpediency,and sinceexpediencyorinexpediency, notrightorwrong,istheMarxist test,therewasnothingsurprisinginthis."AndwhenRussia wasattacked,everyCommunist aidedherineverypossibleway.

ActionAgainstCatholic PaperOpenstheDoor

Justwhenhisowndoubtsand disillusionmentsbeganisnow difficulttosay.Oddlyenough,a libel Review,actionwithTheWeekly aCatholicpaper,some fiveyearsbeforehisconversion, playedaconsiderablerole.For inpreparingforthecase,he studieditsfilesbackovera periodofmonthsandreadeach issueasitcameout.

"ButthatCatholicpaperin timetaughtmequitealot.My culturalinterestshadalways beenwiththeMiddleAges;in poetry,ChaucerandLangland; inarchitecture,Normanand Gothic;inmusic,plainsongand Gregorianchant.TheWeekly Reviewbroughthometomethe factthattheMiddleAgeswere thosewhenmenstilllovedGod andthatwasthereasonforthe greatoutpouringofthehuman soulofthatperiod;thattheir culturewasaCatholicculture andthattheCatholicChurch todaywasthesolecustodianof thatgrandandancientculture...

"Maybeapsychologistwould readilyunderstandwhy,inthe followingperiod,Iworked harderthaneverfortheparty Ihadservedsolong.Butthe factwasthattheseedwassown.
