...Rightist Spain last week, Generalissimo Franco's Cabinet approved a decree re-establishing the Society of Jesus. How many of them were left in Spain, U. S. Jesuits did not know. Whether or not 80% of the Spanish fathers had been killed, as the Vatican reported last year, at least 100 are known to be dead. To U. S. Jesuits this re-establishment seemed to disprove recent rumors that Spanish Jesuits were chafing under the Franco regime, mistrusting his Fascist allies. Nevertheless, such reports have been vouched for in France-where Catholic orders such as Jesuits and Dominicans...
Last month America, influential Jesuit weekly, announced a Bias Contest, with cash prizes for readers who found the worst examples of anti-Catholic bias in a month's reading of the U. S. press (TIME, March 7). Wrote Rev. John A. Toomey, S.J., in announcing the contest: "It is anti-Catholic bias if it misleads readers on any Catholic question." Last week, announcing the prizewinners, America attributed bias to the following publications, in the following order: 1) Bergen Evening Record (Hackensack, N. J.), 2) The Apprentice (New York University undergraduate magazine), 3) Ladies' Home Journal, 4) Fact Digest...
Philadelphia, who fought in the World War, did some advertising work before beginning, in 1921, the long, hard studies of a Jesuit. Ordained in 1931, he was assigned to America's staff four years ago. Believing that much of the U. S. press is biased, or uninformed, on Catholic matters, Father Toomey has in recent months written four articles on "propaganda" in the press. Last month, before the Bias Contest ended, he helped set up a Catholic organization to deal with erring editors...
...Holy Father sat for two-and-one-half hours on the pontifical throne, looked well, if thin, and spoke clearly. Before him knelt three consistorial lawyers, pleaders for three saints whose visages and deeds the people beheld upon great banners in St. Peter's-Andre Bobola, Polish Jesuit (1592-1657), Giovanni Leonardi Italian founder of a religious congregation (1541-1609), Salvador da Horta (1520-67), humble Spanish Franciscan lay brother. Thrice the lawyers begged the Pope-instanter, instantius and instantis-sime-to grant the canonizations. The Pope, imploring the guidance of the Holy Ghost, pronounced a formula of sanctification...
...remarkably well-preserved mummy, this relic has traveled much since Bobola, a Jesuit teacher of noble Polish birth, was scourged, beaten, flayed and scalped by Cossacks, who put him to death near Pinsk in 1657. The nearby shrine in which he was buried was successively guarded by Jesuits, Greek Catholics and Russian Orthodox monks before Bobola's relics were taken to Polotsk. In Bolshevik hands they ended up in a medical museum in Moscow-although Roman Catholics were not then aware of their whereabouts. In 1922, within a month after he became Pope, Pius XI ordered...
