...hearing the Annunciation from the angel of the Lord, St. Joseph is not even named in the liturgy of the Mass, which so honors 27 other saints. Last week a widespread campaign was under way to remedy this omission; sent to every Catholic prelate in the world was a pamphlet marshaling the arguments for St. Joseph's inclusion...
...take place in 1962. Father Filas urged the documentary and research center at St. Joseph's Oratory in Montreal to organize a campaign to put St. Joseph's cause on the council's agenda; other centers of "Josephology" in Italy and Spain were enlisted, and the pamphlet to prelates was the first result.

He calls it "Madison Avenue"-by which he means not only U.S. advertising, but also the affluent society and much of U.S. business philosophy. In a remarkable, just published pamphlet-based on a speech delivered at Williamsburg, Va., in June-Professor Toynbee roundly condemns "Madison Avenue" as un-Christian and basically unAmerican...
