SURE CURE FOR COMMUNISM Editor, THE WANDERER: Mark Twain once said that every-body talks about the weather but very few try to do anything about it. The same comment might be made about the conversion of America. We could make many more converts if we would only try to do so. If every Catholic in America set as his goal the bringing of at least one convert into the Church every year, all America would be Catholic within three years. How can this be done? Here is a suggestion. Center your prayers on the soul you would save. Take a personal interest in the spiritual welfare of that person. See that he is supplied with suitable Catholic literature. Invite him to come to church with you, not once merely but many times. Non-Catholics frequently feel that they are not wanted. You must invite them and go with them at least ten times before they will go alone and of their own accord.

Persecution in the Third Reich Simultaneously with unverified reports from Rome that German-id Vatican relations are improving, and that an entente may soon be reached, comes news of further Nazi onslaughts against Church, the SCHOOLS DISSOLVED IN THE RHINELAND April 18, 1939, was a black day for Catholic Rhineland. By a decree of the Nazi authorities all Catholic and Protestant elementary schools were abolished and trans-formed into Nazi common schools. The change was “symbolically” indicated by the immediate removal of the crucifix from all classrooms. In the most Catholic part of Germany not a single Catholic elementary school and hardly any Catholic secondary school is left. A year ago there were altogether 4,828 elementary schools with 19,-875 classes and 912,320 pupils in the Rhine province. Of these 4,828 schools, 3,317 were Catholic, 1,376 Protestant, 16 Jewish and only 119 mixed. The Catholic schools were attended by 651,518 children. In the Rhineland the suppression of the Catholic school was not carried through

More Historical Proofs That Jesus Claimed To Be Divine

By RAYMOND DE SOUZA In this article we continue where we left in the previous one: providing more historical proofs that Jesus actually claimed to be divine, which deny the assertion that all religions are different path to God, as Pope Francis said in Asia to young people, and that Bishop Barron said to Ben Shapiro that Jesus was a privileged way. Let us investigate the historical evidence: 1. Jesus claimed to be omnipotent, to possess all divine power, therefore equal to the Father in Divine power. For instance, “All power is given to Me is Heaven and on earth…I

How Do We Get To Know The Truth? By RAYMOND DESOUZA Many people confuse truth with personal opinion, as if our preferences would change reality as we please. In matters involving religion, the assertion that all religions lead to God, regardless of their inner contradictions, is manifestly and demonstrably wrong. It’s as simple as that. In last week’s installment, we saw that truth is the agreement of our mind with reality. The first way to find this out is to realize that our minds can apprehend the truth by our own personal experience: a fire burns, a man is not

God Comes To Meet Man

By DON FIER Last week, a topic was taken up that was immediately addressed in the first chapter of the Catechism of the Catholic Church (CCC): man’s capacity to know God by reason alone. It was demonstrated in two basic, commonsense ways that “by natural reason man can know God with certainty, on the basis of His works” (CCC, n. 50). The supporting arguments focused around what we can directly observe or easily discern in two of God’s most magnificent works of creation, “the physical world and the human person” (CCC, n. 31). This week, we will turn our attention

Restoring The Sacred

Meditating Upon The Scourging Of Christ Through Scripture And Art By JAMES MONTI Everything about Lent directs our thoughts toward the Passion of Christ. For Christ Himself has invited us to the Passion, to be with Him in His suffering, to witness with the eyes of the soul what He suffered, to get so close to Him in His sufferings that we become willing to partake of those sufferings in ourselves, in our own lives. From Gethsemane onward, He beseeches us: “… remain here, and watch with me” (Matt. 26:38). He summons us: “Follow me” (Luke 5:27). He instructs us,

Readings: Josh. 5:9a, 10–12; 2 Cor. 5:17–20; Luke 15:1–3, 11–32 By Fr. ROBERT ALTIER In the Gospel reading today, we hear the beautiful story of the love of a father whose son took half of everything the father owned and squandered it all. The young man came to his senses, only after he had descended about as low as one can imagine, and decided to go back to his father’s house and offer himself to be a hired hand. He knew the gravity of what he had done and realized he no longer deserved to be called the son of

Freeing up the weekend enabled me to connect weekdays of two adjoining weeks resulting in a more generous period for a drive to Florida where my father and extended family now reside in the Space Coast area. Two brothers are retired there and nieces are marrying and transitioning there. One of these, with her husband and two baby boys, lives blocks from the Atlantic Coast. As well, my father had long nursed plans to transition to

The fundamental source for these reflections is Jean Cardinal Danielou’s book The Angels
