 \nGreat thinkers of our time,inside and outside of the Church,see the meaning of contemporary events focused around the unifi-cation of the human race.They point to the near reality of \"oneworld.”\"They say that the globe has shrunk now that we cantraverse it in a couple of days,and communicate with its furthestends almost instantly.They show us the fact of tremendouseconomic interdependence of all peoples in the face of diminishingresources and increased desire.They indicate the unifying effectsof ideologies,religions and cultures which have crossed all nationalbarriers through the instrumentality of propaganda agencies,busi-ness men and missionaries,of printed matter,radio and movies.Finally,they have only simply to state that the atom bombthreatens the extinction of the whole human race.  \nSeen in a wider context then,the significance of the contem-porary unrest,of this tremendous era of wars,upheavals andchanges,seems to be this:human problems are moving into aglobal stage,the mysterious progress of creation will henceforwardbe on a world pattern.In preparation for this,today's crisis is,as Cardinal Suhard has said again and again,a crisis of unity.  \nSo it is first necessary to see that all the major problems oftoday are world problems,which demand a global solution.In-deed.the proposed answers are global too.Communism proposes  \na world order.There is also an eclectic,mystical world religionwhich started in the East with pseudo-Buddhism and which findsits Western expression in various esoteric groups.  \nThen there is the half-religious \"democracy\"that is interlacedwith the genuine product,in which it is a sin to rise above a pre-vailing mediocrity,and the benefits of which we should like toimpose on all peoples.There is Freemasonry,which is a universal,transcendent brotherhood.Even big business has its global aspectsand some of its more devout worshippers have hoped to bringabout world peace through the ubiquity of business machines orAmerican-type plumbing.  \nAmong and above all of these is the true universality ofChrist in His Mystical Body,the Catholic Church.  \nWhat we are now witnessing is a race among all the con-te","cbCaivkzs3F04gZf","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaivkzs3F04gZf","pdf",1888025,"English","# Editorial\n## The theme of world unity\n## True universality in Christ’s Mystical Body\n# Contents\n## The Masses Lost to the Church\n## The Unity of the World\n## Unity: Ascetic or Acetylene?\n## “How Small the World Is!”\n## Detachment\n## Book Reviews\n## Song of a Christian (a Poem)","[{\"question\":\"Why does the editorial say contemporary events must be viewed in a larger context?\",\"answer\":\"It argues that individual events have immediate significance but also fit a wider pattern in the progress of all creation toward God’s end.
