Itwas,then,pastoraland catecheticalreasonsthat movedtheHolyFather, afterprolongeddeliberation, togranttheuseofsome EnglishinsteadofLatinin theadministrationofthe sacraments,firstforAmericaonly(SacredCongrega- tionofRites,June3,1954).

Theannouncement,made publiconbehalfofthe hierarchyatMilwaukeeLiturgicalWeek(onAugust 17)wasreceivedwithsigns ofgratitudeandwithacry oftriumph.

Thequestionoftheuseof Englishintheliturgy,currentAmericantopicspointedout,runslikeanalmost hiddenthreadthroughthe historicalwarpandwoofof theCatholicChurchinthe UnitedStates.

AlaterN.C.W.C.newsrelease,thatuseoftheLatinEnglishandLatin-French ritualhadbeenextendedto allthediocesesofCanada, wascounterbalancedbya reportfromEnglandthat thehierarchyofthatcountryhavedecidedforthe presentnottoaskformore vernacularintheritual.

Anewtranslationofthe ritualis sponsored,beingofficially butnotforof-

ThehistoryoftheAmericanversionofthe"CollectioRituum"isinteresting.In1946theAmerican LiturgicalConferencedecidedthatthepromotionof theuseofthevernacularin divineworshipdidnotcome withinthescopeoftheConference.

Asocietywasthenformedto problem.dealdirectlywiththe Itwasfirstcalled"St.Jerome'sSociety," butin1948thenamewas changedto"TheVernacularSociety."

Somebishop-membersof thevernacularsocietywere readyin1950toaskforan extensionofthevernacular,buttheopportunitydidnot presentitself.Thiswas offeredbythe1951annual meetingofthebishops.

ThesupremeorgeneralaimofCatholicAction is"tospreadtheKingdomofChristinprivateand publiclife"(5);CatholicActionthereby"provides anapostolatewherebyCatholics,withoutdistinction ofage,orsex,orclass,orparty,maypromote whateverpertainstoreligionormorality"(6).It doesnotconsistonlyinmakingknowntheteaching ofChristbutalso"inleadingmentothesources ofsalvationwhileatthesametimefullyrespecting theirfreedominconvertingthem;andintraining withardentzealthosewhoarebaptisedtobecome perfectChristians"(7);orasourpresentHoly Fatherhassaidonanotheroccasion:"toraiseup ferventbelieverstothelevelofpresentdayneeds, tointroducethosewhohesitateonthethresholdto thewarmandsalutaryintimacyofthehearth,and toleadbackthosewhohaveseparatedthemselves fromreligion,andwhomtheChurchcannotabandon totheirmiserablefate"(8)

Itmustnotbethoughtthattheactivitiesof CatholicActionextendonlytothepurelyreligious field.They"extendtotheentirereligiousandsocial fieldcoveredbythemissionandworkofthe Church"(9).For"ititwell-known,"continuesHis HolinessPopePiusXII,"thatthenormalgrowth andincreaseofreligiouslifepresupposesacertain measureofhealthyeconomicandsocialconditions.

Theparticularaimsembracedbytheuniversal apostolateoftheChurch,andthereforeofCatholic Action,aremany.Amongthoseexplicitlyreferred toinpapaldocumentsmaybementionedthefollowing:co-operationinthelifeofreligionbyhelping priestsprepareforreligiousfunctions,missions, coursesofinstruction,andbytheteachingofChristianDoctrine;thediffusionofChristianculture:

HisExcellency,TheApostolicDelegate

InaletterontheeffectivepromotionofCatholic Action,Oct.27,1935,PopePiusXIwrote:"firstof all,Weexhortyoutodevotethegreatestcareto thespiritualandintellectualformationofthosewho wishtoserveintheranksofCatholicAction;for thistraining-religious,moralandsocial-seems absolutelynecessaryiftheyaretodoefficientwork intheapostolateinthesedays"(13);andintheEncyclical"DiviniRedemptoris"onAtheisticCommunismheinsistedthat"CatholicActionmustmake itachiefaimtotrainitsmemberswithspecial care withaviewtomakingknowntheChristian solutionofthesocialproblem"(14).

Obviouslyifwhoever controlstheunionscan exerciseastrangleholdon theeconomyofthecountry, thenitmustfollowthatthe Santamariagroupwhen theydisplacedtheCommunistsandgainedcontrol oftheunions,wereenabled toexercisesuchastranglehold.
