Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Great Catholic Laymen The only reason I can advance for prefixing this introduction to a book, which will speak eloquently for itself, is that I believe that it was I who had the good fortune of inspiring the writer with the idea of the necessity in our age of some such handbook of Catholic biography, as this proves to be. For the need, though perfectly apparent, of such a series of Catholic lives, never seems to have attracted Catholic writers; or if it did, they must have assured themselves that the time was not ripe for such a publication, or that Catholic sense and intelligence were not ripe enough to demand it. And yet, who has not felt the want of some such compilation as that now presented to the public? The great writers, thinkers, and workers of other religions, or no religion, have been glorified by studies, memoirs, biographies, or reminiscences without number. Their reliques, letters - everything appertaining to them have been published, and read eagerly by a public, who delight in probing into the secrets of its heroes.

Download or read book The Catholic Layman Vol 1 Classic Reprint written by Arthur Edward Gayer and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2017-11-06 with total page 616 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Catholic Layman, Vol. 1 The originators were not satisfied with the prevailing tone and spirit of religious controversy in Ireland, and aimed at improving it and, while doing so, desired to facilitate the researches of the student or religious inquirer, by rendering more easy of access the learned writers usually referred to in such controversies, and by furnishing those who have not a ready access to extensive libraries with extracts and authorities, on the accuracy and honesty of which they might safely rely. The conviction that some such work was needed was based upon the known facts, that good theological libraries are not everywhere accessible to general readers, and that the parochial clergy, even when themselves possessing the necessary col lection of books, are generally so much occupied by their laborious pastoral duties, that they have not the leisure needful to enable them to give their personal assistance in guiding religious inquirers to the sources from which an accurate knowledge on such subjects can alone be derived. It was thought also that it would be more easy to render such subjects generally interesting by treating of them in a monthly periodical, than by publishing at once the same amount of matter, in a more elaborate and systematic form, in a volume which would, from its very bulk, have been more likely to deter than attract the general reader. It also occurred to the originators of the work that the novelty of the experiment of opening the pages of such a periodical freely to the best writers on both sides of the questions in dispute, without any restriction, except that the combatants should preserve a kindly tone and Christian temper, would tend not only to secure a fair and accurate discussion of the great ques tions at issue, but to excite attention and public interest, without rousing bad passions or sacrificing Christian charity. In these expectations they were not disappointed. The work attained such extensive popularity that, (had the object partaken in any degree of the nature of a pecuniary speculation, ) it might have been profitably continued at the very time of its voluntary termination; inasmuch as for, the year preceding it had attained the almost unparalleled circulation of copies monthly. As the writers, however, had accomplished, to the best of their powers, the task they had imposed upon themselves, the success and popularity of the periodical afforded no inducement to them to continue it; and they deemed it more consistent with the character of the work to close its pages while its popularity and success were at the highest, than to wait until either failing health on the part of the Editor, or satiety on the part of the public, might compel its termination with a more questionable success.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Our Church, Her Children and Institutions, Vol. 3 of 3 Indeed, one of the primary responsibilities which the Catholic layman owes in this country to his God and to his Church, is his zealous encouragement of these various societies and organizations. The society of Catholic laymen that stands preeminent in all work tending to Catholic unity is the order of the Knights of Columbus. In this great Order may be gathered all Catholic men, whose object is the welding of such into one compact body, devoted to the interests of Catholicity. It has been well called "an apostolate of the laity." It has the approbation of the hierarchy, and many dignitaries of the church are enrolled as members. While its predominant principles are fraternity and benevolence, the Order also aims to develop, by association, example and precept, the latent power of Catholics in the community, and to promote every energy consistent with good citizenship. It enjoins that every Catholic shall be fully equipped, and the equal of the best, in leading the way, if possible, in all that pertains to the highest in business, morality, social life and patriotism. As originally planned the order of the Knights of Columbus was to be merely the Connecticut branch of the Massachusetts Catholic Order of Foresters, but receiving no encouragement from the larger organization, the originators decided to found a new order. Mr. James T. Mullen, first Supreme Knight, suggested the title, Knights of Columbus, and after some debate it was adopted. This was in 1881, and the first meetings were held in a small office. Later, a large hall was rented, as the membership increased rapidly. On February 22, 1882, the first Council of the Order was instituted in New Haven and was named San Salvador. On March 29, 1882, a charter was granted the Knights of Columbus, by the State of Connecticut, allowing them to conduct a fraternal insurance business. "It is worth while to examine this first charter of the Knights of Columbus," writes Judge Daniel J. Donahue, in an admirable sketch of the Order. "Made to do service for seven years, it was of the simplest kind and its provisions very limited. It merely provided that the persons named, and all such persons as might be associated with them, and with their successors, should be a body corporate, by the name of the Knights of Columbus of New Haven.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Sacramentals of the Holy Catholic Church Some difficulty was also experienced in arranging the various subjects, so as to bring those together which appeared to be most closely related; but the order adopted is perhaps as good as any other that could have been followed. The essays on the Mis sal and Ritual are rather foundations for others than treating of sacramentals themselves, but they will afford useful and interesting information on subjects of importance. The closing essay is given for the information it contains on a point that must be of interest to every American Catholic; and it may perhaps be opportune in this the fourth centenary year of the disco-very of our country.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from History of St. Benedict the Moor Catholic Colored Mission The sole purpose'of Our Blessed Lord's coming on earth was to gather into the fold of divine mercy the lost sheep of Israel. Therefore He says of Himself: I am the Good Shepherd. His great, apostolic Heart beat only for souls. They were His meat and drink, in quest of souls He traversed the hills and dales of Palestine, sacrificed His night's rest, bore hunger and thirst, heat and cold, insult and Opprobrium, even death itself. The Good Shepherd giveth his life for his sheep. The one longing of this Divine Shepherd, we might say His ideal, was to have one fold and one shepherd. And other sheep I have which are not of this fold; them also I must bring and they shall hear my voice and there shall be one fold and one shepherd. (john This ideal He left to be realized in His Church. Thus the Catholic Church is in principle a missionary institute. Its aim is to bring those other sheep that are not of this fold that they may hear the voice of the Good Shepherd and be saved. Therefore every priest and every Catholic layman is a mission ary by the WW fact that as a member of the Church of Christ he partici pates in its aim: the one is officially a shepherd of souls; the other by reason of the union of faith and love which makes the interests of Jesus Christ his own. Dear Reader, all over the broad, prosperous land of these United States we see wandering aimlessly without shepherd or fold thousands and millions of straying souls whom the Good Shepherd longs to carry home on His shoulder. I speak of the Colored Race, of the despised, neglected, helpless Negroes. Oh, how it pierces the priestly heart to be hold this so promising and naturally religious people crying for the bread of faith, but there is no one to break it to them!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Catholic Action and the Priest I have selected the parable of the Prudent Householder as the basis for some useful and perhaps necessary lessons in the light of the principles and demands of Catholic Action. But first it will be better to Show some way by which we may come to a real knowledge of this subject. Because being some thing that touches our whole life, our conduct and our office, mere notional knowledge about it is useless - that sort of knowledge which runs it off out of one's life to embalmment in the airy region of theory and speculation in his mind alone; the sort, too, which leads to misapprehension, misgiving and ultimately to mischief when it comes to putting that knowl edge to account in one's ministry. Of the vital necessity of Catholic Action as it affects us we can have no doubt, for this is a constantly recurring aspect of it in all the official docu ments. One selection will suffice here - one of the many and not at all the most emphatic - taken from a letter of the late Pope Pius XI, to the Archbishop of Breslau, dated Novem ber 13, 1928.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from An Inquiry Into, the Truth of Dogmatic Christianity Comprising a Discussion With a Bishop of the Roman Catholic Church Some time ago, for reasons of no interest to the public, I engaged in a friendly controversy on religious topics, running in a rather desultory way through several years, with a Bishop (since Archbishop) of the Roman Catholic Church. A mass of arguments on both sides of the question was thus accumulated, and friends, who think they have been benefited by reading the discussion, have urged its publication.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Concerning the Church: Course of Sermons I am induced to publish these Sermons in the hope that some of my brother clergy may think them not unsuited for reading in their Churches or for lending or recommending to their parishioners. To one who believes, as I do most firmly, that the Church is God's own society, His chosen instrument and organization for the regeneration of mankind through Christ, and the ordinary channel of His gifts of grace, few things are more distressing than the ignorance, and, I may add, indifference of so many Churchmen as to what this same Church, of which they are members, is; as to its raison d'etre, its principles and constitution and claims on their allegiance. As far as my experience extends, not one Churchman in a thousand can give a valid reason, as distinguished from mere preferences, for his Churchmanship, or even say, often as he professes his faith in it, what he "believes" about "the Holy Catholic Church."

Besides malicious opponents of Christianity there are also (and I believe that they are the larger class) honest inquirers and earnest seekers after the truth. To whom should these look for information and guidance but to the. Educated Catholic layman with whom they come into daily contact through business or social relations? It is a great work of charity to remove the obstacles that beset the path of inquiry and to lead the seeking brother to the threshold of the saving fold. In our days, when religious matters are a frequent topic of discussion, the Catholic man unacquainted with the arguments that prove the divine character and eminent reasonableness of his faith is a sad and pathetic figure. Truly, apologetical knowledge is an imperative need. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
