• ST. JOHN’S CATHOLIC (RFD, Clearwater) Rev. C. J. Kaup, pastor Sunday masses, 3:30 and 10:30 a.m. Confessions, Saturday, 3:30, 5:30, 7, 9 p.m. CYO meeting at St. John’s Thursday evening, February 14. DO THEY REALLY? He carried a rosary; yet he nev er went to church. You have heard that our jails are crowded with Catholics—that gangsters and racketeers often call for a priest when death draws near and so are buried with Catholic rites. Strange, is n’t it? And what ammunition it affords the professional anti Catholic! Pius Lanzetti was shot to death on the last day of 1936, in repris al, ’tis surmised, for the murder of a rival gangster. Pius!—the name of 12 saintly popes. And the papers reported that “he carried a rosary; yet he never went to church.” Yes, Pius Lanzetti was p -obably a Catholic. Baptism leaves an indelible mark on the soul. Baptized a Catholic, always a Catholic—yet only too often a Catholic by bap^ tism only. What good to carry a rosarv and never go to church—to wear a medal and know not what it means—to live in ignorance of all Catholic teaching and ofttimes directly opposed to it? “Catho lics” of that sort are Catholics in name only. “Catholics” of that sort are they who swell the ranks of gangsters, racketeers, murder ers. “Catholics” of that sort are not the products of the Catholic church. m l ri 11 _ 1 ' An i n i ne uatnouc cnurcn glories m its saints but, like Christ, it con sorts with sinners. Its priests go forth into the dives of the un derworld, into the jails and deathhouses — preaching, implor ing. praying. And when a sinner —no matter what his crime a gainst God or man—repents, he is taken back into the arms of Mother Church, he is absolved from his sins, he receives God Himself in holy communion, and finally over his remains a re quiem mass is sung. Surely then, “there shall be joy in heaven upon one sinner that doth penance, more than upon ninety nine just who need not penance.” (Luke 15:7.) A few years ago a New York racketeer was shot to death in gangster warfare, but before he died he confessed to a priest. If that confession was sincere, his salvation is assured, although his punishment in purgatory is prob ably very severe. Pius Lanzetti. on the other hand, was slain instantlv and without chance for repentance as far as the world can judee. His interment was without services. Yet who can sav that in the last second of his consciousness he did not. b'ke the good thief, turn to God? God is lust. God is mer ciful. And there is not a Christian who mav properly feel himself sinless enough to cast the first stone of condemnation at any of his brothers in Jesus Christ. METHODIST (Chambers) Rev. L. R.
