After5YearsInJapan,Fr.O'Sullivan

OutlinesDifficultiesAhead

ForFaith

Afterfiveyears'missionaryworkinJapanandaholidayin Ireland,theRev.P.O'SullivanreturnedonMay27totakeup dutiesintheArchdiocese.

FatherO'SullivanwasattachedtotheYokahamadioceseinJapanfromJune, 1949.Catholicsinthat area,hesaid,numbered approximately10,000out ofageneralpopulationof sixmillions.

Contactwiththepagans wasmademainlythrough theLegionofMary,through hospitalvisitation,Sunday schools,andoccasionallecturesandtalksincolleges, schoolsandotherinstitutions.

FatherO'Sullivansaid therewasuniversalinterest inChristianity.TheJapanesefullyappreciatedthe factthatShintoismhadmisledthemandthatChristianitywassomethingsuperiortowhattheOriental cultshadtooffer.Universally,therewasatleast anacademicinterest.LecturesontheChristianfaith werewellattended,andin manycasesacknowledgmentwasmadeofitssuperiority.

Tobusinesspeopleand menoftheworld,however, Christianityappearedtoo difficult,saidFatherO'Sullivan.Manywouldliketo dieChristians,butthey procrastinated,intenton finishingtheirjobfirst.

FatherO'Sullivansaidit wasencouragingtoseethe manywhomadegreatsacrificestobecomeCatholics. TheymadesincereChristians.Althoughprogress washeartening,therewas nomassmovementtowards Christianity.Suchamovementwasnecessary,he continued,because,evenif therewerelapses,there washopeofsubstantialresultsinonegeneration.Catholicsweresofewinnumberthatitwasimpossible toestablishaCatholictradition.

TheJapanese,saidFather O'Sullivan,haveaveryimperfectpictureofwhata Catholicsocietyis.Inmany casesoneisaCatholicina familyofcompletepagans. Thatcreatedaseriousprobleminmarriageforthe Catholichadtomarryand bringupchildreninapagan environment,veryoften withoutmuchhelpfrom theChurch.

Thatwasoneofthemajor difficultiesinJapan.In China,ontheotherhand, peoplecameintothe Churchinvillages.Withoutamassmovement,it wasmoredifficulttoinstruct thechildren,togiveconvertsanideaofwhatareal Catholicculturewaslike,

tointerpretChristianliving,andtoapplythetheoreticalaspectsoftheFaith topractice.

sia,butnopanic,inJapan. Itwasbegottenofanobjectiveappraisalofthe militarysituation.Materially,Japanhadbenefited itsexportmarketfromthe Koreanwarinsupplying theAlliedforces.

TheKoreanwarhad broughthomeveryvividly thedangerinwhichJapan lay.TheAmericanshad hada stronginfluence there,andtheJapanesereliedonthem.Thatwas demonstratedbythefact thatAmericantroopshad remainedtherebyrequest, althoughtheoccupation hadended.ThatwaspartlyduetotheJapanesehavingagreaterfearoftheresurgenceoftheoldmilitarismthanofanyAmerican encroachmentonJapanese liberty.Theyhadenjoyed morefreedomunderthe occupationthaneverbeforeintheirhistory.

Therewasnoheritageof bitternessoverthedroppingoftheatomicbombs, saidFatherO'Sullivan.The Japanesebelievedthatall thingswerefairinwarfare.

adequate.Plentyofsubjectswereoffering,andthe standardwasashighas couldbeexpectedinany newChristiancountry.But thenumbersthatcouldbe receivedintoreligiouscommunitieswaslimited.

Itwasnotconsideredadvisabletohavereligious communities exclusively Japanese.Theywereabsorbedintoforeigncommunitiestogivethemthe realspiritofreligiouslife.

Questionedaboutthelack ofpriestlyvocations,Father O'Sullivansaidthatatleast 75percentoftheconverts weredrawnfromthefemalesexinthe18-30age group.Lessthan25per centofmeninthesame category entered the Church.

MenandMarriage

Again,marriagewasmore importantforJapanese men,becausetheyhadthe obligationofcarryingonthe traditionsofthefamily.Its cultdevolvedontheson. Hencetherewasstrongoppositionfromparentsto theirsonsbecomingChristians.Therewas,too,an elementofprideintheJapanesecharacter,which madeitdifficultforthemto acceptacrucifiedSaviour.

HenceJapanlargelydependedforitssupplyof priestsfromtheoutside world,butexistingstandardscouldnotbemaintainedformanygenerations.

FatherO'Sullivanstated thatCommunismwasnota menaceinJapan.Followingthewar,ithadmade someheadway.Buttwo yearsago,onMayDay,in T*yotherewassome streetriotinginwhich foreigncarswereburnt. Thatseemedtoopenthe

Butthecolonistsfound himtoorigidlyinsistenton whattheyconsideredHigh ChurchRitual,andtoodictatorialtowardsthemselves; andin1738hereturnedto Englandwithasenseof almostcompletefailure. Thencamethespiritual crisisofhislife.

Manyoftheconverted werenotAnglicans,andregardedthesocietyandits preachersandworshipas enoughforthem.Wesley hopedthattheywouldbecomeAnglicanseventually, asweshallsee.But,forthe timebeing,hejustwent ahead,leavingthefuture totakecareofitself.

In1741theneedsofthe workforcedhim,though veryreluctantly,toappointlay-preachers;buthe allowedthemtopreach only,andnotfulfilthe otherfunctionsofthe clergy.However,onthat pointalso,hehadtogive waylater.

In1742heinstituted class-meetings,withclassleaders,fordevotionsand mutualhelp,allclasses beingknittedtogetherinto his"Societyofthepeople calledMethodists."He wouldnotcallitaChurch.

Theotherfeaturesof Communistpolicytowhich thePremierreferredwere theirbeliefinviolence,the lyingcharacteroftheirpropaganda,thevulgarityof thir"culturalfront,"and thereactionarynatureof theParty'sstand.

"TheCommunistParty asathinkingParty,"hereflected,"hasstopped20 yearsago."Thesewordsof theIndianleader-coupledwiththeshockoftheelectionresultinTravancoreCochin-areexpectedto haveafar-reachingeffect ontheIndianpopularmind.
