MODERN YOUTH—OUR MOST PRECIOUS 
HERITAGE 

A d d r e s s given on J u n e 6, 1948 
The 1940 Commencement ex-

ercises were over. The hall was 
vacant now, save f o r two peo-
ple—a middle-aged priest, and 
the class valedictorian, a tall, 
cleancut youngster of about eigh-
teen, whose rented tuxedo add-
ed perhaps two years to his 
age. 

"I hear via the grapevine t h a t 
you've already been accepted at 
our local college," said the priest. 
"Splendid! And with your par-
ents putting you through you 
can devote that much more time 
to your studies." 

"That's just it, Father," the 
youth replied, "they are back-
ing me, it was their choice, their 
c h o i c as to where I should go 
and wAat course I should fol-
low. Father, I felt I should be 
allowed the privilege of decid-
ing f o r myself. I realize that 
my mom and dad want me to 
make good and are giving me 
opportunities they never had, 
but still—" 

What a wealth and depth of 
meaning there was in that sim-
ple "but still—" 

The boy had not betrayed his 

true feelings to his mother and 
f a t h e r f o r fear of hurting them 
—by appearing in their eyes 
ungrateful. Full well he knew 
they had sacrificed much, done 
without a great deal—just to 
afford their son the chance of— 
as he put it—"making good." 

Deep inside, he honestly and 
earnestly desired to enter col-
lege in September, t h a t he might 
f u r t h e r appease the appetite 
whetted in high school. 

But still—the original deci-
sion had not been his, the course 
had already been charted f o r 
him and t h a t was all there was 
to it. His plans were f o r Busi-
ness College, not academic stu-
dies. But to h u r t the ones clos-
est to him—he couldn't. 

Our colleges and universities 
have quite a few such boys— 
and girls—among their number 
today—young people, outward-
ly content reaping the harvest 
of knowledge, but inwardly au-
tomatons who are attending the 
institutions of higher learning 
as mere proxies f o r their par-
ents. 

But the situation is by no

means totally disheartening or 
irreparably severe. In all pro-
bability, out of that so-called 
"static group" of collegians will 
come truly great leaders in their 
respective fields. Or maybe even 
leaders in some extra-curricular 
activities, some baseball dia-
mond demon or gridiron gladi-
ator. 

What is the disheartening fea-
ture is the absence of the initial 
drive, the ambition to build a 
better mousetrap of one's own 
accord, the inner feeling of satis-
faction and contentment of the 
youth himself, like to any artist 
upon completion of a picture. 
For the would-be Rembrandt is 
buoyed up by that sense of ac-
complishment, regardless of the 
critic's viewpoint, and he wants 
t h a t portraiture used as a norm 
of his talents, not his parents' 
talents. 

With this vital self-confidence 
included, the person automatical-
ly ceases being a robot and 
alights as a fully-equipped indi-
vidual facing life. Remember, 
my dear parents, it's your child 
who must face the hectic years 
ahead. If he is happy and con-
tented in his vocation, the bat-
tle will be infinitely easier and 
more simple. 

But what of the instance of 
our newly-graduated young gen-

tleman? Did the blame rest 
solely on him f o r not speaking 
up? Of course not! The ob-
jections he forwarded as ex-
cuses were sincere. 

Then it must have been with 
his overzealous parents. No. 
Perhaps in their case they 
couldn't see the forest for the 
trees. You can't condemn or de-
valuate their sacrifice so that 
their son might have a better 
living and a better life. 

The responsibility rests on 
both generations—oversight and 
an overzealous spirit on the par-
ents' p a r t combined with the 
lad's timidity. 

What is the solution? Fam-
ily discussion, a real, honest to 
goodness heart-to-heart talk 
among the members of the fam-
ily groups. Yes, a lively round-
table talk, not solely in regard 
to schooling, but numerous oth-
er items. A sort of open forum, 
in which parents, who are in au-
thority, t r y honestly to see the 
problems of their children. 

In the example of our valedic-
torian, this family discussion 
phase never took form. 

He completed one year at the 
academic school designated f o r 
him. Whereas formerly he had 
been a better than average pupil, 
he now became, as the phrase 
goes —a fresh-air student. His 



MODERN YOUTH—OUR MOST PRECIOUS HERITAGE 9 
marks bordered on the passing 
mark, he overcut classes and in 
general took on an anti-social 
attitude, caused by insecurity. 

With the passing of the sum-
mer, spent in the atmosphere of 
misunderstanding, he once again 
returned to college. 

But other events were not 
shaping in f r o n t of his eyes. The 
advent of war in December '41 
created a new patriot in our 
maladjusted collegian. Seeming-
ly, he went f o r t h to battle f o r 
the forces of righteousness, f o r 
the cause of freedom, to preserve 
and protect democracy from the 
snares of totalitarianism. 

But was it true patriotism? 
Perhaps it was. Or perhaps, too, 
he saw in the impending strug-
gle a way out—a channel into 
which he might direct his ener-
gies, a chance to escape f r o m the 
dormant state he had permitted 
himself to d r i f t into. 

His parents wished him good-
bye the day he left f o r camp, 
still a little mystified at this sud-
den surge of love of country and 
new-found energy. 

In due time his presence was 
required overseas and he landed 
with our forces in Africa. 
Through Africa he fought, then 
Sicily, Italy; and then in South-
ern France he was severely 
wounded by mortar shrapnel. 

Although he had still his f o u r 
limbs,""the war was over for- him. 
He was just emerging f r o m the 
hospital three months when the 
European war was declared over 
f o r everyone. 

Home he went—not the inse-
cure, f r u s t r a t e d boy of twenty 
that had left home (and college) 
four years before, but now a 
mature man with vivid memor-
ies and definite ideas on how he 
would carry on in civilian life. 
But before him now lay the task 
of explaining the matter to his 
folks. For they still felt t h a t 
he should finish his schooling 
and afterwards his dad would 
take him on as an apprentice. 
This had been conveyed to him 
in numerous letters overseas. 

The break had to come sooner 
or later, so why not now? The 
matter had been hanging f o r al-
most six years—six years of a 
void. In vain? No, f o r now he 
was matured, as only war can 
mature, and he tactfully and 
subtly informed his parents of 
his resolutions. Finally they 
succumbed to his reasoning and 
wished him sincere good f o r t -
tune in his new endeavors. 

A happy ending? In that 
case it was, because our ex-sol-
dier had that know-how to put 
across his points. 

But an average youth of sev-



10 THE CHURCH LOOKS AT SOME SOCIAL QUESTIONS 
enteen or eighteen cannot ex-
press himself or herself fully 
and correctly. Still they often 
know what they want, but a r e 
timorous about how to go about 
it—afraid of the parents who 
are trying to order their lives 
rather than guide them with 
love and understanding. 

•That is precisely where you 
parents can give immeasurable 
assistance. As a mother or f a -
ther, think of yourselves as 
guiding lights—showing the 
path to follow, but not forcing. 

You can maintain your lofty 
and honored position of parent-
hood and still bring yourselves 
to the youth's level. A paradox? 
No, not if you view situations 
through your child's eyes, put 
yourself in his or her place, see 
matters as they see them. Now 
t h a t isn't so hard to do as it 
sounds. J u s t take yourself back 
fifteen, twenty, twenty-five years, 
to the time when you were their 
age. Remember how the prob-
lems then seem minute when 

compared to ones t h a t have hap-
pened since. But at the time 
they were all-enveloping, world-
shaking. And how you eagerly 
sought out those wise old sages 
—your parents—who somehow 
always had advice to offer—but 
which you didn't always accept, 
as it might have been "old-fas-
hioned?" (And how that word 
is dreaded today on the youth's 
level). 

So follow the family discus-
sion plan if you haven't already 
adopted it. You will be amazed 
at the results it can obtain. 

If you do visualize matters 
through the eyes of your young-
sters, I can guarantee you con-
tentment and peace of mind for 
yourself and a larger, much 
greater love and devotion from 
your children. 

This love and devotion will be 
lasting. And in later years, 
when your boy or girl looks back, 
he or she can proudly say—"Old-
fashioned? Not my mom and 
dad!" (They were regular!) 



LEADERSHIP IN THE MODERN WORLD 
A d d r e s s given on J u n e 13, 1948 

These are days of anxiety. 
Thoughtful persons are much 
concerned over the problems 
which face us. We must make 
great decisions, and it is vital 
that they be made wisely. Amer-
ica today faces the burden of 
leadership in regard to the en-
tire world. Our } economic 
strength is such that we must as-
sume the task of restoring pros-
perity to war-ravaged regions. 
Our political and military pri-
macy leaves us with the duty of 
forging peace in the midst of 
grave tensions between nations. 
This is an hour of destiny and of 
duty. 

In offering leadership to a 
world in crisis, America must act 
on many fronts. Of course, it is 
vital that we offer economic aid 
and sound political guidance to 
nations who look up to us. But, 
at the same time, we cannot over-
look the great force of moral 
leadership. People abroad will 
study, not merely what we say, 
but what we do. They will learn 
more from democracy in action 
than from thousands of books on 
the theory of freedom. 

If the task of America is to 
offer moral guidance to the 

world, surely religion can indi-
cate some of the steps which we 
must take. The great love of 
God and of neighbor can be ap-
plied here in a way which others 
will find inspiring. In our talk 
today, we hope to suggest con-
crete ways in which America 
will show the way by its example 
of the brotherhood of man. Two. 
areas in particular offer us a 
real challenge: the achievement 
of peace in labor-management re-
lations; and the fostering of 
harmony among diverse national, 
racial, and religious groups. 

I t will not be easy f o r us to 
set a world-wide example of 
peace between labor and indus-
try. This field is complex and 
intricate, and there are few 
shortcuts which really work in 
it. However, there are certain 
constructive ideas which are 
gaining acceptance today. We 
would like to stress them here. 

A fundamental f o r industrial 
peace and harmony is the recog-
nition of the dignity of man. Re-
ligion teaches lis t h a t we are 
brothers, under a common Fa-
ther, God. Regardless of our 
individual abilities and charac-
ters, we have a common quality

in the immortal soul, breathed 
into every human body by the 
Almighty. We are persons, not 
merely machines or quantities in 
an economic equation. We are 
more than impersonal forces in 
a labor market; we are human 
beings with our hopes and fears, 
our desire to love and be loved, 
our moments of noble aspiration 
and our relapses into weakness 
and sin. 

When a man goes into a fac-
tory to work, he does not leave 
his human personality behind 
him. While he may work with a 
machine, he does not become a 
machine himself. On the con-
trary, he is profoundly dissatis-
fied and unhappy at his work if 
he does not receive recognition 
f o r his human worth. This was 
well expressed by one of Amer-
ica's industrial statesmen, Gen-
eral Robert Wood Johnson: "As 
a human being, no worker can 
thrive and give good service in 
the void of loneliness. He must 
feel that he 'belongs'; t h a t he is 
a responsible and respected per-
son who counts f o r something in 
his group. With this must go 
dignity and satisfaction in the 
job beyond the. pay f o r doing 
it." $ 

Far-sighted industrial leaders

Doubleday, 1947) p. 104. 

acknowledge that the problem of 
human relations is fundamental 
today. Mechanical and chemical 
processes can be changed, but 
human nature is not so easily 
altered. Accordingly, it is wiser 
to build industry around man's 
needs than to t r y to force men 
into a mold f o r which they are 
not fitted. Yet, too often the 
human equation is thè last factor 
considered. We have refined 
engineering skill to unbelievable 
degrees, but often have gone 
backwards in our treatment of 
human beings. 

If certain basic needs of man 
could be met,. we would make 
great progress in the way of 
achieving peace and harmony in 
industry. Among these basic 
needs is man's desire to maintain 
his self-respect and dignity. In-
dustry can meet this in many 
ways. First, there is the mat-
ter of physical surroundings, as 
neat and as attractive as the cir-
cumstances permit. Then there 
is the question of attitudes to-
wards workers. They can be 
made to feel t h a t they are a re-
spected part of their organiza-
tion. Their work is explained to 
them, so that they understand 
their contribution to the final 
product. Their views and opin-
ions are asked and listened to. 
In the language of the shop, 



LEADERSHIP IN THE MODERN WORLD 13 
there is real two-way communica-
tion between the top and the bot-
tom. This may seem to be a 
minor point, but it makes a ma-
jor difference in the attitudes of 
workers. 

Men desire the respect and ap-
preciation of those around them. 
They wish recognition and es-
teem. I t is only human to de-
sire praise f o r work well done 
When we do fail, a quiet and pri 
vate explanation is f a r more ef-
fective than a public rebuke. 
Such would be the way of Chris-
tian brotherhood. Yet, too often 
men unthinkingly follow the op-
posite pattern. Achievement goes 
unnoticed and unrewarded, while 
failure brings on public and hu-
miliating rebukes. This is not 
the way to build industrial peace. 

Workers wish security a t a 
good wage. Most of them have 
heavy family obligations. They 
do not wish to lose their homes 
and savings through no fault of 
their own. But industry like-
wise desires steady, high-lével 
production. There is no conflict 
here in the basic aim of both 
groups. Yet, the f e a r of job-
lessness or wage-cuts is one of 
the greatest causes of industrial 
unrest. Why should this com-
mon f e a r be a source of separa-
tion between labor and manage-
ment? 

The answer to this question is 
significant. F e a r persists be-
cause we have not developed any 
common ground f o r cooperation 
between industry and its work-
ers. Though they have many in-
terests in common, we have too 
often stressed the points which 
keep them apart. It is true that 
disputes exist on the matter of 
sharing the ultimate product of 
industry. If the worker gets a 
wage-increase, the stockholder 
may receive smaller profits. But 
this point is minor compared to 
the problem of sustained high 
production which will bring pros-
perity to all. Cooperation to 
achieve this is a real and press-
ing need today. 

If labor and management could 
join hands to face their common 
problems, it would be an inspira-
tion to the entire world. Else-
where bitterness and class s t r i f e 
have divided nations into war-
ring factions. Men have swung 
to extremes, feeling t h a t capital 
and labor must fight until one or 
the other prevails. It is f o r us 
to prove t h a t the joined hands 
of brotherhood are more mighty 
than the clenched fists of hatred. 

We face another great prob-
lem in our task of world leader-
ship. This is the spectre of in-
tolerance which a t times hovers 
over our land. We could be di-



14 THE CHURCH LOOKS AT SOME SOCIAL QUESTIONS 
vided into warring groups on 
the basis of religion, race", cul-
tural background or national ori-
gin. This clash could weaken the 
unity which has made America 
great. We were founded as a 
land of sanctuary f o r those who 
fled f r o m intolerance elsewhere. 
We have become known as the 
great melting-pot composed of 
diverse racial, religious, and na-
tional groups. In our short his-
tory, we have assimilated mil-
lions f r o m every port of the 
globe and yet forged one nation, 
loyal and united. Such is our 
history. Such is the standard 
which we must preserve today. 

Yet, if we are to achieve toler-
ance and understanding as a na-
tional habit, we must face the 
problem frankly and honestly. 
There is a right and a wrong ap-
proach to this issue. The wrong 
approach is attractive, because it 
seems deceptively easy. I t is 
t h i s : let us base our tolerance 
upon uniformity. Let everyone 
in America think the same and 
act the same. Let us. keep our 
differences to unimportant mat-
ters, and make these as few as 
possible. Then we will have 
no grounds f o r quarrels and mis-
understandings. This seems sim-
ple but, I say, it is deceptively 
so. Actually, it is contrary to 
our American tradition. Our 

forefathers came here to avoid 
forced conformity in matters of 
religion and culture. We have 
always preserved the right to 
differ, within the framework of 
our constitutional democracy. 

The right approach to toler-
ance is more difficult. It involves 
the recognition of differences, 
and the granting of full freedom 
to those who differ f r o m us. 
Americans have not always 
found this easy in practice. We 
are usually broadminded about 
differences when they do not 
seem important to us. But when 
they touch on a sore spot, then 
we are likely to become resent-
f u l and intolerant. 

Too often today we consider 
ourselves tolerant when we are 
merely indifferent or apathetic. 
Thus, many persons might say 
that they are tolerant in relig-
ious affairs. They say: " A f t e r 
all, religious difference is not 
important. I t does not matter 
much what people believe. I t is 
What they do t h a t counts. We 
are all going the same way, even 
if we use different roads." While 
this sounds plausible to many, it 
is not real religious tolerance. 
Thus, a member of a certain 
f a i t h might reply: "To me my 
religious belief is important. 
What I believe makes a real dif-
ference in how I act. I do not 



LEADERSHIP IN THE MODERN WORLD 15 
feel t h a t it is up to us to choose 
our own way to heaven. On the 
contrary, if God has revealed 
laws of belief and of conduct, I 
must humbly submit to His will. 
What is more, if I believe a t r u t h 
on the basis of divine revelation, 
I must consider any contrary 
statement to be wrong. I will 
disagree with others who do not 
think the same way I do. But 
at the same time, I will respect 
their right to follow their own 
conscience and convictions." This. 
is genuine tolerance. 

The importance of a sound ap-
proach can be seen from some 
concrete examples. Thus, sev-
eral religious groups in this 
country have their own school 
systems. They do not send their 
children to the public schools. 
This has caused resentment in 
certain circles. Some feel that 
these religious groups are set-
t i n g themselves apart as a dis-
tinct and separate group in our 
democracy. What is vital is the 
recognition of the right of Amer-
ican citizens to follow their con-
sciences in the matter of relig-
ious éducation of children. 

The same principle applies to 
marriage laws, religious regula-
tions on food, and other points 
of difference among our people. 
These distinctions do not spring 
f r o m spiritual pride or contempt 

f o r the general ways of our coun-
try. Rather they are laws ac-
cepted in humble obedience to 
the authority of God. If we look 
a t things this way, we are less 
likely to become intolerant of our 
fellow-citizens. 

I t takes an effort to achieve 
real tolerance based on accept-
ance of differences. Yet our re-
ligious belief in the brotherhood 
of man should impel us to make 
this effort. This is largely a 
community problem. It calls f o r 
good will and education. If re-
sponsible and fair-minded citi-
zens in each city and town were 
to face this issue openly, much 
good could be done. They could 
gather and discuss frankly the 
sources of tensions and difficul-
ties in their community. From 
this discussion would emerge 
patterns of understanding and 
sympathy. These in t u r n could 
be spread more broadly through 
the school system, through public 
meetings, and through direct ef-
f o r t s to remove sources of poten-
tial trouble. By these devices, 
each community could translate 
into concrete deeds its ideals of 
Christian brotherhood. 

I t would be too much to hope 
t h a t peace throughout the world 
could be achieved only by the 
example given here. There are 
broader political and economic is-



16 THE CHURCH LOOKS AT SOME SOCIAL QUESTIONS 
sues which must be met. But at 
the same time, it would be almost 
impossible to achieve such peace 
if we are divided at home into 
hostile camps. It is the duty 
of this generation to show the 
world that f r e e men can live to-
gether in peace and harmony. We 
must make clear by our example 
t h a t force is the wrong way. 

This is not a simple path to 

follow. It calls f o r patient and 
sustained effort. It is much 
easier to indulge in name-calling, 
or preaching, or passing laws to 
get what we want. But the easy 
way is too often the wrong way. 
May God give us the courage and 
the f a i t h to face this problem 
frankly and wisely, so that 
America will truly be a shining 
light before the world. 



THE CATHOLIC CHURCH A N D HEALTH CARE 
A d d r e s s given on J u n e 20, 1948 

Friends of the Catholic Hour: 
It is my pleasant privilege to 

talk with you f o r a while today 
about the Church and health 
care. 

With characteristic realism, 
the Catholic Church has faced 
from the very beginning the 
disagreeable fact of human suf-
f e r i n g and has done something 
about i t ! Indeed, the suffering 
Christ gave us a mandate when 
He said: "Heal the sick," and 
that command rings loud and 
clear through every page of the 
Church's history. 

Properly to understand our 
solicitude f o r the sick, we must 
remind ourselves of a few basic 
concepts. Each of us is made up 
of a strange and wonderful 
combination—a body and a soul. 
The conflicts, the joys, the sor-
rows and the ecstasies of life 
stem from this providential 
wedding of flesh and spirit. 
Every day of our lives we ac-
knowledge this phenomenon when 
we use the casual greeting: 
"How are you feeling?" We 
mean by implication to ask two 
very important questions: "How 
is your health and how is your 

spiritual courage?" Unconsci-
ously or consciously we are 
bound to put more emphasis on 
the latter query, since we know 
instinctively that moral strength 
is superior to physical well-be-
ing under all but the most bru-
talizing circumstances; and yes! 
even then. 

But what has this to do with 
our theme—the Catholic Church 
and Health Care? The answer 
is as simple as time, as pro-
found as eternity. 

Our body is the problem child 
of our soul and the sometimes 
unfriendly relationship dates 
back to qur first parents. But 
by the same token the possibil-
ity of peaceful living, despite 
this seeming disharmony, is 
brilliantly apparent in the life 
of the God-man Jesris Christ. 

To ignore our dual nature 
would be unchristian. To think 
of our body alone would be sin-
fully pagan—to think of our-
selves as pure spirits would be 
stupidly heretical. The whole 
beautiful tapestry of Catholic 
health care a t every level has 
this double thread of silver and 
gold of body and soul running 



18 THE CHURCH LOOKS AT SOME SOCIAL QUESTIONS 
through i t ; and it gives the fab-
ric color, strength and beauty. 

Perhaps one graphic way of 
pointing up the importance of 
this basic philosophy of life 
could be to look through the 
other end of the telescope. 
Granted we will get a small 
image but what we are looking 
a t is very tiny. 

Before the warm sunshine of 
Christ's charity shone upon the 
earth, before the Beatitudes 
switched the thinking of man-
kind, physical fitness alone was 
of paramount importance. A 
broken body was a total liability. 

We admire the ancient Greek 
civilization, and rightly so, but 
here is what they thought of the 
great mysteries of birth and 
death, of sickness and suffering. 

A f r i g h t f u l inconsistency 
marred the hospitality of the 
ancient Greeks. Only curable 
patients were received in their 
hospitals, and the incurable were 
left to die upon the streets. It 
was considered t h a t birth and 
death polluted a locality, and 
these two events were not allow-
ed to happen in the sacred pre-
cincts of the temple of Aescula-
pius (the god of medicine). At 
Epidaurus (their best hospital), 
women approaching confinement 
and patients about to die were 

carried outside the gates and 
left there. 

Even such an unrelenting 
classicist as Walter Pater would 
deplore this grim and bitter mis-
anthropy. 

Then what happened—Jesus 
Christ, the Son of the Blessed 
Virgin Mary was born into the 
world. The curtain was raised 
on the view-Window of spiritual 
values. No longer was physical 
weakness or even deformity to 
be despised or neglected. A man 
might well be too weak to carry 
a water pail in the tough phy-
sical business of living. But 
Christ made it possible f o r hir 
to carry his weight and save 
his soul. We were given the 
true touchstone of Christianity 
—we received the badge by 
which we would be known as 
creatures of God when we read 
and took to heart in the Gospel 
story the qualifications of a 
Christian. 

"By this shall all men know 
that you are my disciples—that 
you have love one f o r another." 
The new rules were set down— 
the new values defined. 

Then began the long parade 
of progress in the field of health 
care t h a t lengthens with every 
coming generation. Following 
immediately the banner borne 
by Christ Himself, marches St. 



THE CHURCH AND HEALTH CARE 19 
Luke, the physician, and then 
Marcellus, and Paula and Phoe-
be (a co-worker of St. Paul's 
and officially known as the first 
visiting nurse), then Fabiola v a 
Roman matron, who gave her 
worldly goods and her personal 
energies to the care of the sick. 

The very name "hospital" is 
derived f r o m the hospices run 
by these noble women at the 
dawn of the Christian era. The 
care they gave was necessar-
ily limited by the 1 available 
knowledge of the time but the 
spirit that fired their efforts 
might well be remembered and 
imitated today. 

The ranks thin out f o r a time 
but the line is unbroken. We 
see St. Catherine of Sienna, St. 
Odile, the great military nurs-
ing orders of the Crusades, the 
Beguines in Belgium, the whole 
beautifully effective system set 
up under the inspiration of St. 
Vincent de Paul and his Daugh-
ters of Charity (and, inciden-
tally, he is known in the text-
books as the first social worker). 
Hero and heroine tread on each 
other's heels in the proud march 
of the Church's program in 
health care. 

Then there are the great hos-
pitals t h a t were inspired and 
built by charity in one of its 

most beautiful garbs—the love 
f o r the sick. 

We speak of hospitals first 
only because in them and 
through them the best in me-
dical care and research has been 
practiced down through the 
ages. The Hospice of Fabiola, 
the great hospital of St. Basil, 
known as the Basilius and stu-
died by every scholar of health 
care, are only two examples of 
the Catholic influence in this 
great field of Catholic Social Ac-
tion. Gradual development led 
to the building by Pope Innocent 
I I I of the world famous Holy 
Ghost Hospital in Rome in 1198, 
almost 800 years ago. The fore-
sight of those who planned this 
glorious institution has been 
richly rewarded f o r when I left 
Rome in 1934, the Santo Spirito 
Hospital was still treating pati-
ents with modern methods in 
ancient structures; and the 
amazing p a r t of it all was the 
large number of twentieth-cen-
tury hospital architects who 
came to study this twelfth-cen-
tury building as a model. 

To bring the story of Catholic 
work in the health field closer to 
home, we might say that the first 
hospital in North America was 
the Immaculate Conception built 
by Cortez, the intrepid Spanish 
explorer, at Mexico City in the 



20 THE CHURCH LOOKS AT 
year 1524—106 years before the 
Pilgrims landed a t Plymouth 
Rock and 125 years before we 
proud Americans of the United 
States saw anything comparable 
to it. 

The story of Catholic hospi-
tals is truly a long and inspiring 
saga of devotion and fidelity to 
Christ's command to care f o r the 
sick. I t has its monument in 
our own land—and a beautiful 
tribute it is with more than 1000 
Catholic hospitals and allied 
agencies in the United States. 
The 22,000 Sisters and Brothers 
who run their institutions are 
the captains of a great team of 
225,000 doctors, nurses and oth-
er professional and non-profes-
sional workers who carry on the 
bright tradition of Catholic 
health care. 

We would, indeed, be remiss 
in our duty if we did not take 
a moment to tell you of two re-
latively new but strong mem-
bers of the Christian army that 
devotes its time, talents, and its 
very life to combat diseases. 

By name they are the Na-
tional Federation of Catholic 
Physicians Guilds and the Na-
tional Council of Catholic 
Nurses. Representing thousands 
of Catholic doctors and nurses 
throughout the land, these 
groups borrow none of the right-

SOME SOCIAL QUESTIONS 
ful prestige of existing profes-
sional organizations, nor are 
they set up in opposition to 
them. They propose to give the 
same whole-hearted cooperation 
to the latest technical methods 
and treatments that they have in 
the past, reserving simply the 
right to be in tune with the 
teachings of Christ and to live 
their personal and professional 
live? according to His example. 
Sound techniques do not neces-
sarily mean sound motives. "Seek 
ye first the kingdom of heaven" 
applies in the clinic as in the 
kitchen. 

At this point I must make a 
confession as we approach the 
close of our visit together on 
the air. 

I had hoped to recall the glori-
ous contribution of Catholic doc-
tors and scientists—pioneers in 
the field of anatomy—circulation 
of the blood—the true nature of 
infection and transmission of 
disease. But to name these 
giants along with the founders 
of the great orders of Sister 
nurses would now consume too 
much time. What we are going 
to say is more important only 
because it is more timely. 

What we, as Catholics, believe 
about life—its conception, its 
progress and its end, is no my-
stery. God gives life. God 



THE CHURCH AND HEALTH CARE 21 
watches over it, and God calls 
a halt to our earthly existence 
when He in His Infinite Wisdom 
sees fit. "Watch and "pray" is 
no idle warning, and, despite the 
most modern therapy, "the night 
will come when no man can 
work." 

Having lived in a 300-bed hos-
pital f o r several years as its 
Superintendent, I would not be 
inclined to minimize the reality 
of suffering and the drama of 
death that often follows. The 
heart does not deserve to beat 
that would not feel f o r the suf-
f e r i n g and pray f o r them, and 
work to ease their pain. 

But there are those who now 
wish to put an end to suffering 
by putting an end to life. 

We should rejoice t h a t the 
Catholic Hospital Association, 
meeting in Cleveland only two 
weeks ago, chose f o r its general 
theme: "Combating Secularism 
in Health and Health Services." 

Friends of the Catholic Hour, 
we may be proud of the achieve-
ments of science in general. We 
may even glory in the fact that 
the life expectancy of the aver-
age American has been length-
ened f r o m f o r t y years at the 
turn of the century to sixty-
seven years at the present day. 
We thrill to the great p a r t the 

Catholic Church has played and 
is playing in the health field. 

We read with great interest 
the latest theories of psycho-so-
matic medicine and the studies 
in geriatrics but we are not 
overwhelmed with their new-
ness. The words may have a 
strange and awesome sound but 
the ideas they express are as 
familiar as they are simple. The 
former means that the best 
medical treatment is given only 
when man is thought of as a 
total being composed of a body 
and soul. The latter term, geri-
atrics, is simply the progressive 
scientific approach to the stark 
reality that people grow old and 
old age has its special problems. 

Our Blessed Lord set the pat-
tern f o r the Church's health care 
program in the parable of the 
Good Samaritan, and here I 
quote from a talk given by the 
Most Reverend Apostolic Dele-
gate at the Mayo Clinic in 
March of 1942: "According to 
these standards, the Catholic 
Church for twenty centuries has 
in schools, universities, and hos-
pitals of every kind, fulfilled her 
mission to the weak, the sick 
and the afflicted. She created 
hospitals, as means of curing 
and preserving, along with sci-
entific experiments, all t h a t may 
contribute toward physical well-



22 THE CHURCH LOOKS AT SOME SOCIAL QUESTIONS 
being; and in preparation f o r 
such work she seeks to eliminate 
social injustice and immorality, 
f r o m which s^ many human ills 
derive." 

Many may differ with the 
Catholic Church in matters of 
doctrine. Those outside the 
Church may have doubts about 
our religious devotions but none 
will gainsay the warm and glow-
ing beauty of our traditions in 
the care of Go3's sick and suf-
f e r i n g creatures. 

That tradition is a living 
thing, it must continue and grow 
in stature. Why? Because our 

Faith teaches t h a t the human 
body is the temple of the Holy 
Spirit and within t h a t temple 
lies the tabernacle of our im-
mortal soul. 

Christian charity demands 
that we care f o r that temple 
(fragile though it be), because 
of what it is and mostly because 
of what it contains. And char-
ity here is naught but the will 
of God voiced in His own divine 
words: "Love thy neighbor as 
thyself." This command finds 
beautiful expression in the 
Catholic Church's love and care 
f o r the sick. 



ARE YOU SATISFIED W I T H YOUR SCHOOLS? 
A d d r e s s given on 

It seems quite obvious t h a t the 
American people have a profound 
interest in the problems of edu-
cation. This interest is evidenced 
by the existence of the machin-
ery to provide education on all 
levels and f o r all needs. The pre-
valence of all these means of edu-
cation seems to be a direct result 
of a conviction t h a t successful 
democratic living in our Ameri-
can republic is contingent upon 
required amounts of education. 
J u s t what are these required 
amounts is a subject upon which 
there is considerable disagree-
ment. In order to limit our dis-
cussion of this question let us 
consider the problem of educa-
tion as it relates to formal school-
ing. At one time the American 
people were content to confine 
the required amount of schooling 
to the elementary level; later the 
requirements were raised to in-
clude all or a ^portion of secon-
dary schooling; and now we note 
t h a t the report of the President's 
Commission on Higher Educa-
tion would make available, to all 
who can profit by it, a t least two 
years of college work. The Com-
mission maintains t h a t the num-
ber of students attending col-

J u n e 27, 1948 
lege prior to World War I I re-
presents less than one-third of 
those who demonstrably can pro-
fit f r o m higher education. 

Why does this preoccupation 
with education occupy so much of 
our thinking and demand so 
many of our dollars? Leaders in 
the field of education have a 
ready answer. American citizen-
ship carries with it not only 
many rights and privileges but 
even greater duties and responsi-
bilities. Hence it is necessary to 
provide an educational climate 
that will make it possible f o r the 
student to unravel the problems 
and grasp the complexities of 
modern civilization. Although 
there is in our land a high degree 
of tolerance f o r good things, 
there are also those persons who 
grant that additional education is 
a desirable thing but who with 
considerable insight are begin-
ning to ask: More of what kind 
of education ? Are we to educate 
our youth to make a living or to 
live? If we are educating them 
to live, what then do we mean by 
the fullness of living? That 
there is a real difference in the 
kinds of training available f o r 
our youth today is clear f r o m 



24 THE CHURCH LOOKS AT 
the variety of schools t h a t are 
available. Many people feel that 
the education offered by certain 
types of schools has stopped 
short at a very vital place. They 
feel that spiritual growth has 
been neglected through the fail-
ure to teach religion. These 
critics will not be satisfied with 
the expedient of teaching about 
religion as a social phenomenon, 
nor will they accept as a substi-
tute the inculcation of the so-
called "spiritual values" which 
are said to be inherent in the 
processes of teaching about dem-
ocratic living. They point out 
t h a t it is impossible to be neutral 
in the matter of religion, f o r un-
derneath everything we think or 
do lies some religious assump-
tion. The conviction that religion 
can be left out of the curriculum 
with impunity assumes tacitly 
that the things of God are not 
as essential to human well-being 
as are the things of the world. 
Little by little, this tacit assump-
tion has become an explicit doc-
trine with the consequent accept-
ance of secularism as the basis 
of American educational philoso-
phy. 

The exponents of a Christian 
philosophy of education hold t h a t 
religion is too important f o r hu-
man welfare to be treated as a 
mere accessory to life and living. 

SOME SOCIAL QUESTIONS 
Therefore, even a part-time ar-
rangement f o r its teaching will 
at best be a poor palliative. Re-
ligion is of the very warp and 
woof of life and consequently it 
must bear the same relation to 
education since our relationship 
with God is the basis of every 
other relationship. Everything 
about us belongs to God and our 
lives have meaning only in refer-
ence to Him. The Christian edu-
cator in America, then, can sum-
marize his convictions by stating 
that the aim of religious educa-
tion is to provide those experi-
ences which, with the assistance 
of God's help, are best calculated 
to develop in the young the ideas, 
the attitudes and the habits that 
are demanded f o r Christlike liv-
ing in our American democratic 
society. 

The magnificent advantages of 
a Christian philosophy of educa-
tion become more apparent as we 
study t h a t philosophy in detail. 
Perhaps the best way to come to 
an immediate understanding of 
its worth is to seek out an ex-
ample of its application. Not so 
long ago there convened in Wash-
ington a National Conference on 
Citizenship. Through general 
sessions and in small panel 
groups the delegates, represent-
ing an extensive cross-section of 
American life, examined the 



ARE YOU SATISFIED WITH YOUR SCHOOLS? 25 
place of the average citizens in 
today's world and the role he can 
play to preserve democracy. The 
delegates agreed that now, as 
never before, the American citi-
zen must become world-minded. 
It is no longer possible to be a 
good citizen of this country with-
out understanding the import-
ance of events t h a t are taking 
place around the globe. Many of 
the delegates emphasized the 
need f o r greater attention to in-
ternational studies in the schools 
and colleges of the United States. 
Ten qualties of the world-minded 
American were outlined at the 
conference and they served as 
the basis of discussion. May I 
choose arbitrarily three of these 
ten qualities to demonstrate my 
point. It seems that the world-
minded American: 
1. wants a world at peace in 

which liberty and justice are 
assured f o r all, 

2. knows and understands how 
people in other lands live, and 
recognizes the common hu-
manity which underlies all 
differences of culture, 

3. has a deep concern f o r t h e 
well-being of all humanity. 

These three goals are certainly 
not new to Christian philosophy. 
They find their worth and exist-
ence in the two-fold law of the 
love of God and the love of our-

neighbor. In Christian philoso-
phy and in Christian education 
the love of our fellowman is not 
limited to humanitarian motives, 
and our concern cuts deeper than 
mere regard f o r his physical 
well-being. As children of a com-
mon Father we are bound to-
gether closely by ties of spiritual 
kinship, and man is important 
wherever we find him whether it 
be in a house just across the way 
or in his home across the world. 

Religious education has a uni-
que strength in its ability to 
teach that human improvement, 
the true end of education, is to-
tal improvement. We believe 
t h a t sound education cannot suc-
cessfully concentrate on one 
phase of the life of the individ-
ual to the neglect of other 
phases. The human personality 
cannot be dissected or divided. 
Our moral fibre is affected by the 
way we earn a living, and our 
personal integrity can be evalu-
ated in terms of our social con-
duct. Accordingly, our physical 
health, our economic well-being, 
our social and civil relations, our 
cultural development, all are 
bound up in the most intimate 
manner with our moral and spir-
itual progress. When we think 
of education in Christian terms, 
we mean the promotion of 
growth in all thes§ spheres. The 



26 THE CHURCH LOOKS AT SOME SOCIAL QUESTIONS 
inclusive character of religious 
education, based on the law of 
Christ's love, accepts as an integ-
ral part the development of t h a t 
world-mindedness and t h a t 
search f o r universal peace about 
which we are hearing so much 
lately. 

Admittedly education must 
play a major part in our present 
search f o r peace and order and 
unity f o r this bewildered world. 
Men of high purposes are fumbl-
ing about f o r organizing prin-
ciples upon which this era of 
peace can be built. It has be-
come almost t r i t e to say t h a t the 
f u t u r e of our nation and of the 
whole world is in the hands of 
our children. If this present gen-
eration has made such a botch 
of things, can it be trusted to 
educate f o r a better world? What 
kind of education will produce 
better men and ultimately shape 
a better world? 

As Christians we find the only 
effective means f o r individual 
growth and social progress in the 
teachings of Jesus Christ. No 
other teacher has presented the 
lessons of justice and charity as 
they were taught by the Son of 
God. No other teacher has lived 
the lessons of sacrifice and obedi-
ence as they were lived in Beth-
lehem and Nazareth and on the 
Hill of Calvary. These are the 

lessons of love f o r God and 
neighbor which the world must 
learn if there is to be justice and 
charity, peace and order among 
men. 

We know t h a t the destruc-
tive forces of hatred and false 
teaching have borne f r u i t in our 
day. In one way or another 
many of us have tasted the bit-
terness of recent years. We could 
be pessimistic but the promise of 
Christ rings in our ears and 
buoys us up. " I came t h a t they 
may have life, and have it more 
abundantly." Not only did 
Christ promise an earthly life of 
peace and joy as the f r u i t s of 
Christan love, but He points out 
to us t h a t on earth we have no 
abiding city, and pledges to us 
the eternal life of heaven. Edu-
cation t h a t is Christian, there-
fore, is education f o r life. I t will 
remain the responsibility and 
sacred charge of parents and of 
all educators, by which they must 
build citizens f o r earth and 
heaven. 

If you are discontented with 
current educational trends and if 
you are casting about f o r a 
standard of excellence, it seems 
to me t h a t these basic require-
ments f o r living the Christ-life 
are admirable as a means of 
measurement. Before we begin 
to plan the changes t h a t must 



ARE YOU SATISFIED WITH YOUR SCHOOLS? 27 
occur in far-off places to remake 
the world, we must begin within 
the circle of our own influence. 
Religious educators find no con-
flict in the pictures of Christ-like 
living in American democratic 
society. The American form of 
government and the ideals t h a t 
inspire the American way of life 
are not only in accord with the 
principles of Christianity, but 
apart f r o m them lack any sub-
stantial foundation. The nation-
al heritage which parents and 
educators wish to impart to the 
youth of our land in all its full-
ness is bound up in its essentials 
with the teachings of Christ. 

There are some basic principles 
which must be underlined here. 
F i r s t of all, the fundamental 
t r u t h of our dependence upon 
God is established as a basic 
principle of American life in the 
Declaration of Independence. 
T h a t document acknowledges 
without question t h a t life itself 

-4 and all human rights are 
given to us by our Creator. 
I t is an act of f a i t h in 
God, a testament t h a t American-
ism and atheism are forever in-
compatible. In recognizing God 
as the source of our rights and 
duties, the Founding Fathers 
built our nation on the bedrock 
of religion and gloried in the 
words of the psalmist: "Unless 

the Lord build the house, they 
labor in vain t h a t build it." 

Close upon the acknowledg-
ment of God as our Creator 
comes the recognition of the dig-
nity of every being, created to 
God's own image, made of body 
and soul, and destined to live 
eternally with God in heaven. 
This principle of human dignity 
is woven into the charter of Am-
erican freedom, and without it 
our democracy would have no 
meaning. As Christians we value 
each individual f o r the infinite 
price Christ paid to redeem him. 
We must measure each individual 
according to his worth in the 
sight of God. 

The third basic principle upon 
which we must build our educa-
tional structure and which we 
must defend as Christians and 
as patriotic citizens refers to the 
dignity of the family and the 
sacredness of the marriage bond. 
This principle was confirmed by 
Christ through the sacrament of 
matrimony, and it must be re-
vitalized in American life, f o r 
our nation will be only as strong, 
as free, and as united in pur-
pose, as the families which make 
it up. There can be no greater 
contribution to the life of our 
country than the children whose 
characters are formed in a Chris-
tian home and whose ideals are 



28 THE CHURCH LOOKS AT SOME SOCIAL QUESTIONS 
in accord with the teachings of 
Christ. Christian living in our 
American democratic society be-
gins in the home. 

These three principles of de-
pendence upon God, of individual 
dignity, and the sacredness of 
the family, which are keystones 
of Christian philosophy, are also 
the support and foundation of 
our American way of life. Christ 
teaches t h a t he who loves God 
and neighbor and expresses this 
love in unselfish service fulfills 
the whole law. Christian charity, 
the love of neighbor extended to 
our countrymen and to God's 
children everywhere, is the prime 
requisite f o r world reform. 

We know all too well t h a t atti-
tudes and prejudices t h a t are un-
Christian and anti-social cause 
confusion and disorder in society, 
and everything possible should be 
done both-' in school and out to 
prevent their development. Hos-
tility to others because of race, 

color, religion, or economic sta-
t u s ; the ambition f o r personal 
success at all costs; lack of f u n -
damental loyalties ; suspicion and 
distrust of other people and their 
motives—all these make f o r dis-
unity and work to the detriment 
of the common good. A school 
that would foster them is a men-
ace to the commonwealth, as is a 
school t h a t is oblivious to their 
presence and tolerates them. 

The fostering of noble atti-
tudes, of tolerance and under-
standing, of generosity and kind-
ness, of patience, of courtesy and 
t r u s t toward all people, regard-
less of any consideration whatso-
ever, is a responsibility that is 
the very essence of religious edu-
cation. The height and breadth 
and length and depth of the char-
ity of Christ is limitless, and 
though it surpasses understand-
ing, we are bound in conscience 
to imitate it and to love our 
neighbor as we love ourselves. 



THE PURPOSE OF THE CATHOLIC HOUR 
(Extract from the address of the late Patrick Cardinal Hayes at the in-

aagnral program of the Catholic Hour in the studio of the National 
Broadcasting Company, New York City, March 2, 1930.) 

Our congratulations and our gratitude are extended to the National 
Council of Catholic Men and its officials, and to all who. by their financial 
support, have made it possible to use this offer of the National Broad-
casting Company. The heavy expense of managing and financing a 
weekly program, its musical numbers, its speakers, the subsequent an-
swering of inquiries, must be met. • . . 

This radio hour is for all the people of the United States. To our 
fellow-citizens, in this word of dedication, we wish to express a cordial 
greeting and, indeed, congratulations. For this radio hour is one of 
service to America, which certainly will listen in interestedly, and even 
sympathetically, I am sure, to the voice of the ancient Church with its 
historic background of all the centuries of the Christian era, and with 
its own notable contribution to the discovery, exploration, foundation 
and growth of our glorious country. . . . 

Thus to voice before a vast public the Catholic Church is no light 
task. Our prayers will be with those who have that task in hand. We 
feel certain that it will have both the good will and the good wishes of 
the great majority of our countrymen. Surely, there is no true lover 
of our Country who does not eagerly hope for a less worldly, a less 
material, and a more spiritual standard among our people. 

With good will, with kindness and with Christ-like sympathy for 
all, this work is inaugurated. So may it continue. So may it be ful-
filled. This word of dedication voices, therefore, the hope that this radio 
hour may serve to make known, to explain with the charity of Christ, 
our faith, which we love even as we love Christ Himself. May it serve 
to make better understood that faith as it really is—a light revealing 
the pathway to heaven: a strength, and a power divine through Christ; 
pardoning our 3ins, elevating, consecrating our common every-day duties 
and joys, bringing not only justice but gladness and peace to our search-
ing and questioning hearts.
