PopeUrgesRumania

NottoAbandonFilth

VaticanCity,March28.-Anexhortationto"continueto sufferexile,imprisonment,andthelossofeverypossessionrather thanbetrayyourFaithandbreakorloosenthebondthatunites youtothisApostolicSee"wasvoicedbyHisHolinessPopePius XII.inanApostolicLettertotheBishops,priests,andpeopleof Communist-dominatedRumania.

PopePiustoldtheRumanianCatholicsthathe couldnotrefrainfrom"extollingtheadmirableexampleofChristianfortitude whichyouaregiving,"nor from"voicingOuraffliction ofsoulattheverygrave dangerswhichbesetthe sacredrightsoftheCatholic religion,especiallyitsliberty."

Atthesametime,the Popeassuredthemhe sharedtheir"trialsandsuffering."Hesaidthat"on yourbehalf,inunionwith thesupplicationsoftheentireCatholicworld,Weare offeringOurprayersto God,theFatherofMercies."

ThePope'slettertothe RumanianCatholicsmarked thefourthtimeinthepast sevenmonthsthathehas addressedmessagesofcommendationandexhortation toCatholicpopulationsin Communist-ruledcountries. LastJanuaryheissueda lettertotheBishops,clergy andfaithfulofChina.In SeptemberandOctoberof lastyear,hewrotespecial messagestotheCatholicsof PolandandCzechoslovakia.

AllCatholicsPray

InhismessagetotheRumanianCatholics,Pope Piusstressedthattheirsufferingswerenottotheir shame,butrathertotheir honourandglory,sincethey seemtobe"livingagainthe gloriousdeedsoftheearly Church."

Heurgedthemtoraise theireyesconfidently towardHeaven,realizing that"allCatholics,inevery partoftheworld"areprayingthatGod"mayhasten theendofsuchsorrowand sufferingandgranttothe soulsofpeoplesandnations, peace-thatpeacewhich assuresthesacredrightsof religion,whichdefendsthe dignityandlibertyofthe individualconscience,that joinstogetherinfriendship allpeoples,withoutanydistinction."

PopePiussaidhisvoice wasraisedonceagain"in

defenceoftherightsofGod andChurch,sinceweall wellknowyoursufferings, andthatthereisnoBishop amongyouwhoisinapositiontogovernhisdiocese freely,todirecthispriests, ortogivesuitabledirections tothelaitycommittedto hiscare."

AlltheRumanianBishops, PopePiuswrote,havebeen "forciblyremovedfrom theirSeesandareeitherin prisonorbanishedfaraway fromtheirflocks."

Declaringthatpriestsand religiousareamongindividualswhohavebeendispersedbythecommunist regime,PopePiussaid:

"Priests,becauseoftheir attachmenttotheFaith, theirancestors,andtothis ApostolicSee,andbecause theywouldinnowayconsenttoweakenintheir Christiansteadfastness,to sullytheirconsciences,or betraytheirduty,either havebeendeportedtounl knowndestinationsfaraway fromtheircountry,orcondemnedtoforcedlabouror thrownintoprison,where theyaretodayleadingalife thatismiserable,butone thatisglorious,intheeyes ofGodandthejust."

APriest'sLong-HeldAspirationGave MarbleInteriortoHisChurch, WorktoNeedyItalianVillage

Bridgeton,N.J.(NC).-TheingenuityofanAmerican priest-architect,coupledwiththedeterminationofasmallItalian communitytokeepitspeopleworkingandshareitsartwithAmerica,havegivenmembersoftheImmaculateConceptionparish hereanewItalianmarbleinteriortotheirchurch.MostimportantithasmeantnewhopeforalittletowninItaly.

ThestoryoftheImmaculateConceptionchurch's newinterioralsoisthe storyofthreeItaliancraftsmenwhovolunteeredto sharetheirtalentswiththe peopleofBridgetonata timewhentheprojectseemeddoomedtofailure.

Thefinishedproducthas broughthundredsofvisitors-someoutofcuriosity, othersbecauseoftheirlove ofold-worldart,andmany otherstopray.Aformal ceremonymarkingthe openingofthenewlydecoratedchurchwastobeheld March23.

Whenthepastor,theRev. ThomasJ.Gooleywas studyinginRomebetween 1918and1924,hebecameinterestedinItalianarchitecture,particularlyinthe beautifulinteriorsofthe manychurcheshevisited. Hebecamesoengrossedin theartthathestudied architectureandinteriordecorating.

Duringhisstudiesin Romeheoftenthoughtof whatjoyitwouldgivean Americanparishtohaveits churchdecoratedwiththe Italianmarblehehad growntoadmire. WhenFatherGooleywas appointedpastorofthe ChurchoftheImmaculate Conception, Bridgeton's onlyCatholicchurchina cityof18,000,hetookwith himhisdream.Butmore urgentthingswereneeded.

In1945theschoolwasrenovated;todayithasnearly 400pupils.Nexttheconvent wasremodelledforthe teachingSisters,thenthe churchpropertywaslandscaped.Throughoutwork ontheseneededimprovements,however,Father Gooley'sdreamofanItalianmarbleinteriorforthe churchcpntinued. Hesetouttofindthekind ofmarblehehadenvisioned.NowhereintheUnited Statescouldhefindit.The nearesttotheItalianproductwassoexpensivethat itwasoutofthequestion.

Early.in1949Father GooleywenttoItaly.He carriedwithhimtheplans drawnbyhislong-time friendandarchitect,Victor V.MartieliofNewYork, wholabouredpatientlyto putonpaperthedreamof theBridgetonpriest.

FatherGooleydiscovered inItalythatthesmallcommunitieswhichhadthrived ontheirmarbleindustry beforethewarwereinpoverty.'Businesswasata standstill.Nobodyseemedto want,ortobeabletobuy, Italianart.

AtonelittletownFather Gooleystruckadealto purchaseenoughmarble forthesanctuary.Ifitwere possible,heexplained,he woulddotheentireinterior ofhischurchinItalian marble,buthisflockin Bridgetonwasnotcomposedofwealthypeople.

Ofatotalpopulaceof some30,000inthearea servedbytheImmaculate Conceptionparish,on1y 3,500wereCatholicand mostofthemwerefarmers andindustrialworkers, FatherGooleyexplained tohisItalianfriends.After aseriesofconversations withthemarblecompany hebegantoseethepossibility.

Therewasanotherbarrier,though.FatherGooley wasn'tsureoftheexact measurementsforthewhole church.Thatproblemsoon fadedwhentheItalian marbledealerofferedto cometoBridgetonandpersonallytakethemeasurements.

Inthefallof1949the ItalianarrivedinBridgeton.Hemeasuredthe churchandannouncedthat hiscompanycouldsupply marblefortheentirejobatareasonableprice. Indeed,heexplained,it wouldbeagodsendtothe peopleofhiscommunity whohadworkedbutlittle sincethewarhadbroken out.FatherGooleymadea tentativedealforthe marble.

Anotherdisappointment loomed.Hecouldn'tfinda singlemarblecraftsmanin theStateofNewJerseynor insurroundingterritory whocoulddothejobashe wanteditdone.

Hewasabouttogiveup andbereconciledtofacing whatappearedtobe worldlyfacts.Henotified themarbledealerinItaly thatthejobwouldhaveto becancelled.

Thatwouldmeanno workforthelittleItalian community.Itwouldmean thatthehopesof75craftsmenwhowouldbeemployedtomineandpreparethemarbleandtheirlarge familieswouldbeshattered.Itwouldmeanthe end-atleastforthetime being-ofFatherGooley's dream.

Thencameanotherhappy surprise.TheItalianmarble dealernotifiedFather Gooley craftsmen,thatthreeexpert allheadsoffamilies,hadvolunteeredto cometoBridgetonandper- sonallydothejob.Officials of whomthesmallcompanywith FatherGooleyhad negotiatedagreedtosee thatthefamiliesofthe threemenwerecaredfor duringthetask;themen themselvesofferedtowork fornothingabovetheir boardandkeep-justfor theprivilegeofsharing theirtalentsforthehonour andgloryofGod.

FatherGooleyagreedto keepthemen.Hecouldn't paythemsalaries,buthe wouldgivethemboardand roomandseethatthey wantedfornothing.

ThroughAmericangovernmentrepresentativesin ItalyandWashington,the EconomicRecoveryProgrammewasputintoreverse,asitwere.Insteadof sendingAmericandollars andmaterialstothislittle marblecommunityinItaly, theItalianpeoplethemselveswouldsendtheir producttoAmerica.

Necessaryarrangements werecompletedandthe orderwasplaced.Seventyfivecraftsmenwereready togotowork-thefirst realworktheyhadknown inmanyyears.Prayersof thanksgivingwereoffered inthelittlecommunity.Familieswerehappy.Husbandsandfathersonce morecouldlookupandbe thankfulthattheycould supporttheirfamiliesby thesweatoftheirbrows.

Finallythelastobstacle wasovercome.Itwasnecessarytogetclearance throughthegovernment forthethreecraftsmento cometoAmerica.

AtlastanationalperiodicalhaspublishedanauthoritativeanswertotheMalthusians,Sangerites,and otherprofessional''calamityhowlers"whosee"overpopulation"asthegreat threattotheworld. Dr. -JosuedeCastro,chairman ofthepolicy-makingexecutivecommitteeoftheUnitedNationsFoodandAgriculturalOrganisation,inan articlein"Collier's"(Jan. 19,1952)presentsanew slantonthequestion.He turnstheproblem,solong stoodonitshead,backon itsfeet,andgivesusarealisticlookatit.

Inthefirstplace,hetakes issuewiththecharge that'overpopulation'causes famineandhungerbecause therearejusttoomanypeopleforthelandtosupport.

"Thestartlingfact-now beingrecognisedbyahandfulofscientists,"saysDr. deCastro,"isthatthis `overpopulation'theoryis exactlytheoppositeofthe truth.Itisnottoomuch populationwhichcauses hunger.Onthecontrary, andstrangeasitmayseem. ^ itishungerwhichcauses toomuchpopulation."

SurvivalAssured

"Natureoperateswith onlyonegoal-survival,"he pointsout.Withhuman beings,nature'sweaponto insuresurvivalisfertility. Whenhungercutsdown twoinevery10people,and threatensathird,Nature -seestoitthatanextra threebabies-orfouror five,justtobesafe-are produced."

"After ofpestilenceorfamine,populations alwaysincreasetheirrate ofgrowth.The18th.-centurySwissscientist,Johann HeinrichWaser;showed thatpopulationlossesfrom suchmasskillersareactualilymadeupin10years, butthesignificanceofhis findingwaslostonmen committedtothe'overpopulation'theory."

Asamatteroffact,Dr. deCastropointsout,wedo notevenknowwhat"overpopulation"is.China,usuallyoneoftheclassicexamplesbecauseofthemany Periodsoffaminethere,has 104personspersquaremile. Holland,ontheotherhand, longoneofthebest-fednationsintheworld,has686 andyethasnotbeencited as"overpopulated."

"Statisticsplainlyshow," pointsouttheauthor,"that countrieswithtoolittlefood -orequallyimportant, withthewrongkindsof food-countrieswheremillionsofpeopleregularly and'normally'starveto death,arealsotheareasof themostviolentincreases inpopulation:China,India, Egypt,andcertainCentral Americancountries.

"Ontheotherhand,in manycountrieswhosepeo.pleeatwell,thepopulation hasbeenincreasingata slowerandslowerrate.

Theobviousconclusion," saysDr.deCastro,"isthat whenproteinintakeishigh enoughtoguaranteeagood chanceofsurvivalamong theoffspring,thenumberof offspringfallsoffbecause thereislessdangerofextinction.When,clanger exists,intheformofpoor dietwithinsufficientproteins,Naturemultipliesthe numberofoffspringtoinsurecontinuationofthe species."
