Pious Unbelievers\n\nDear Editor:  \nCongratulations are in order for PeterMichaels’article,“Pious Unbelievers.”Ibelieve Mr.Michaels'story expresses manypoints that should be made clear in themind of the average person.In agreementwith the editor,I do not entirely agree withthe author's reasoning.I do believe hecompressed many fine points into a wonder-ful story.Joan Michael,Dayton,Ohio  \nDear Editor:  \nIt's the unvarnished truth but I neverheard so many complimentary remarksabout any previous issue of THE MARIAN-IST as I heard about the March issue.Howdid you ever manage to get that certainPeter Michaels?I have read his articles inIntegrity with the greatest thrill.He'stops,in my opinion._Doyle was good,too;and so was Father Ferree.In short,con-gratulations on such a fine selection.Rev.Geo.J.McKenzie,S.M.,  \nSt.Meinrad,Ind.  \nDear Editor:  \nCongratulations on the article Pious Un-believers.Peter Michaels,God love him.We need more Catholics like him,who arethoughtful enough at times to remove thepink glasses and face the realities of twen-tieth-century American Catholicism.OurHoly Father in his address to the Catholicsin Boston last October spoke of the\"piousunbelievers”who are not practicing whatthey profess;Peter Michaels and THEMARIANIST should have no fears then ofbeing blunt.Bluntness like this is twen-tieth-century prudence.The students of myreligion classes were not shocked by PeterMichaels'attack on the lethargy and medi-ocrity of so-called Catholics,and discussionof the article revealed that\"pious unbeliev-ers”exist even among the students of ourCatholic high schools.  \nF.M.,Dayton,Ohio  \nDear Editor:  \nCongratulations on the last issue of THEMARIANIST magazine.The series fromthe“Companion to the Summa”was mostinteresting and enlightening.The article“Pious Unbelievers”was also timely and tothe point.Is it possible to get some of  \nMsgr.Fulton Sheen's works into future is-sues?Will be looking forward to readingTHE MARIANIST with interest.“A Reader,”Dayton,Ohio  \nDear Editor:  \nI want to tell you how much I enjoyed“Pious Unbelievers”in THE MARIANISTfor March.I think it has a real messagefor Catholics.  \nPeter Michaels is right,we are“PiousUnbelieyers.\"How many of us really knowthat God’s is the hand that stays us andnot the material things around us?Howmany of us can really go about our every-day living without becoming disturbed aboutlittle things?We do not need to utter oneword of complaint.God knows our neigh-bor's shortcomings as well as our own.Heasks us to live together in peace.He does-n't say,\"Domineer thy neighbor”;He says,\"Love thy neighbor.\"  \nThis love truly realized and lived woulddo away with all sin and wars.Only peaceand goodness could reign.  \nGod grant that I could teach this to mychildrell and keep this love,which God givesso freely in my life's cycle.God grant thatI do not forget!  \nI did not mean to write at length,forthe real purpose of this letter is to ask forat least six extra copies of the March MA-RIANIST.I am enclosing $1.00 in cash.Iwant these for my friends to read and passon to other friends.  \nThis article should be reprinted in the“Catholic Digest.”  \nMy whole family enjoys THE MARIAN-IST.I like it especially for the large print,which is easy on poor eyesight.And I likethe short and to-the-point articles,whichare easy to understand and can be readwhile waiting for the family to gather fordinner or at any other convenient restingplace in a busy woman's day.Mrs.J.G.Koelbel,Baldwin,N.Y.  \n# Marianist Study Guide\n\nDear Editor:  \nI want to congratulate you on the finearticle by Father Farrell on our BlessedMother in the February issue of THE MA-RIANIST.It is written solidly and alsopopularly.  \nI am glad to take this occasion to teliyou how excellent is your monthly studyguide for the use of your magazine in theclassroom.You offer the teacher manypractical suggestions to supplement thecontent of their courses.  \nBrother
