McCarthy has issued a 7000-word pastoral letter stating that Catholics and the community at large cannot escape the responsibility of continuing racism and its effects in society. While in no way condoning the civil disturbances and violence that has occurred, Archbishop McCarthy pointed out that in spite of several years of improved legislation and superficial change, the underlying causes of social unrest such as pover- ty and injustice are as firmly entrenched as ever. A central point of the pastoral let- ter entitled "One People Under God," is that even Catholics who may not have caused present in- justices are obligated to help undo them "lest we become bystanders tolerating and tacitly endorsing evil and thus share in the guilt.

Mews at a Glance Scholars defend St. Kolbe WASHINGTON (NC). — Allegations that the recently canonized St. Max- imilian Kolbe was anti-Semitic Iiave brought several scholars to the new saint's defense. In December Richard Cohen, a writer for the Washington Post, and other newspapers, said that in Father Kblbe's canonization his anti-Semitism "was swept under the rug." In a letter to the Post, Eugene Fisher, executive sec- retary of the National Conference of Catholic Bishop's Secretariat for Catholic- Jewish Relations, said the documentary record of Father Kolbe's writings and ac- tions belies charges such as Cohen's. He cited writings in which Father Kolbe repudiated anti-Semitism and traced the allegations to an article last April in Wiener Tagebuch (Vienna Journal), an Austrian paper. The conclusions of that article, said Fisher have been rejected by several American scholars.

  • Ivory Coast Case Study Benjamin Yavo OFM Introduction All
    DARE: Holy Trinity College Theological Journal 103 The First Missionaries’ Work in Africa: Ivory Coast Case Study Benjamin Yavo OFM Introduction All Christians are missionaries. However, some people dedicate themselves especially for missionary activities. And through their laborious work, the Gospel reached many parts of the world. Ivory Coast, country situated in West Africa, knew Christianity through missionary work. After many trials, the first missionaries succeeded to put a strong foundation to Christianity into this country. This article will try to elaborate on the strengths and weaknesses of the first missionaries in Ivory Coast and the lessons to take from it. To do so, three parts will constitute the article. First, a brief story of the beginning of mission in this country will be given. After that, from that story the strengths and weaknesses of the missionaries will be exposed. Lastly, the lessons from it will follow. Brief Story of the First Missions in Ivory Coast Mission in Ivory Coast begins in the 17th Century. In fact, the first attempt of evangelization began in 1637 with five Capuchins who lived for a short time in Assinie (a town in the south of the country), before being swept away by diseases. The first Ivorian baptized was named Aniaba, son of a chief in Ivory Coast. Nouvelle Evangelisation gives some details explaining that in 1687 during a military and religious expedition sent by King Louis XIV of France, he was brought back to France. He received a French education and was baptized by the bishop Bossuet, with Louis XIV as godfather. In 1700, Aniaba returned to his country and immediately afterwards became pagan.

There is the particularly tragic memory of Bishop Ernest Coba of Albania, murdered by prison authorities for celebrating a Mass with a few other inmates in his cell in contravention of prison regulations on Easter Day, 1979. In Czechoslovakia in 1988 there is the case of Augustin Navratil, a Catholic layman and father of nine, who has been involuntarily committed to a psychiatric clinic for responding to newspaper criticisms of his widely­ supported 31-point petition for religious rights.

  • The Broken Cross
    THE BROKEN CROSS BY PIERS COMPTON (1984) This book was written in the early 1980's by a Catholic layman alarmed at the direction of the post Vatican II church. The author makes well supported charges the uppermost offices of the Church have been infiltrated by Luciferian Secret Societies, and that the problem is not confined to liberal prelates. He provides evidence that John XXIII and Paul VI were likely members of secret cults, and that John Paul I was murdered. Such is likely to be disturbing to Catholics who put their trust in the Roman Curia.
