...President Roosevelt, who regards the Roman Catholic Church as a potential ally in fighting democracy's battle, maintains contact with Pope Pius XI through the New Deal's good friend, George Cardinal Mundelein of Chicago-who might very well become Papal Nuncio to the U. S. should diplomatic relations be re-established with the Vatican. Last fortnight there was further evidence of the new collaboration between the Church and the U. S. in the departure for South America of two able representatives of the U. S. Catholic hierarchy - Bishop James Hugh Ryan of Omaha and Rev. Dr. Maurice...
...divided into ten parts with such titles as "Biographica," "The Anxiety of Love," "Dreams and Symbols," and "Time the Obsession." Not the least of the charms of this work are the piquant titles to the poems, beginning with "M," which includes the author's two initials and the Roman numeral for 1000. In his brief foreword Moore describes this as "a set of notes, memoranda, indices, jottings, case-histories, mal-adjustments and occasional solutions. When the work is completed the sonnets will finally fit into place, shaping the autobiography of a person of the period...
This concern is no political pose with Frank Murphy. Ascetic, perfectionist, he really believes that, instead of becoming a Roman Catholic priest he became a social priest, ordained by his late mother, who taught him to honor Jews and Negroes as highly as other men. In his first mayoral campaign, Detroit called him "Dew and Sunshine" after a speech in which he said that was the kind of new morning Detroit needed. If the so-called Monopoly Investigation imposes upon him the duty of prosecuting any large vested interests, the latter may be sure he will do it with painful...
Thus writes Henri Ghéon, pious French Roman Catholic, in the recently published Secret of the Cure d'Ars.* Far from used up is the Cure of Ars: he was canonized only 14 years ago as St. Jean Baptiste Vianney. During most of his lifetime (1786-1859) the priest of an obscure village near Lyon, the Curé of Ars is today by papal command a model for parish priests the world over. Since it takes more than mere goodness to make a saint, M. Vianney (as Hagiographer Ghéon for brevity calls him) is easier...
Spectacular, bespectacled Waddill Catchings in 1928 co-authored (with William Trufant Foster) a book called The Road to Plenty showing how the U. S. boom could be made to pop higher & higher like a Roman candle. In 1928 and 1929 Waddill Catchings got conservative old Goldman, Sachs & Co. to light up such investment-trust skyrockets as Goldman Sachs Trading Corp. and Shenandoah Corp., which soared and sank magnificently. Last week, while fireworks were still popping out of the McKesson & Robbins box (including an SEC investigation of Price, Waterhouse auditing), who should step in, match-in-hand, but impish Waddill Catchings...
