 \nIt is a matter of great consequence,for the futureof our country and of the world at large,that the char-acter of the so-called Fascist regimes,particularly thatof Germany,be correctly appraised as to their bearingon religion and social reform.A false appraisal will en-tail severe penalty.It may even lead to a misconduct ofthe war.It certainly will mean the development of un-toward conditions,especially after the war.Evidently,  \neither of these conseqences would be grave enough tocounsel against levity and haste.For this reason it seemsthat Monsignor Fulton J.Sheen rendered a disserviceby some statements in his Easter sermon in St.Patrick'sChurch in New York.It seems the solemnity of the oc-casion,the vastness of the audience &the Monsignor'sown status should have counseled against indulgence insentiments and expressions which seem patriotic todaybut are in reality the opposite.Although the Monsignorspoke on the tribulations of the Church,he spoke in thesame breath of“our hopes for victory,for peace and theultimate triumph of good over evil,\"and as the sourceof today's evil he designated “persons once baptized”一evidently meaning Stalin,Hitler and probably also Mus-solini.As their prototype he gave Julian the Apostate;and therein lies the fault.  \nIt is unscholarly,in the first place,to put Stalinand Hitler in the same category simply because both\"were once baptized.\"A Jew and a Hottentot are notalike simply because both have not been baptized.Dis-creditable also is the following passage in the sermon:“Like his successors in the modern world,Julian hadbeen baptized,and like them,he lost the faith.Sincehis conscience would not let him alone,he would notleave the Church alone.One day he inquired of Agothon,a former friend:'Whatever became of that carpenter ofGalilee;does he have any jobs these days?\"Agothon re-plied:'Yes,he is building a coffin for the Roman Em-pire and for you.'Six months later to the day,Julianplunged a dagger into his heart and as he died,he said:O Galilean,Thou hast conquered'.\"On that premiseMonsignor Sheen predicted that the“Julians”of ourday will do likewise.Reputable historians insist thatJulian died of a battle-wound and not by suicide,andthat the alleged exclamation at the time of his death isa pious legend of later date.So the Monsignor's storyand his prediction rest on a poor foundation.  \nSince the Monsignor presented apostacy as the one  \ngreat source ","cbCaipDbhE693VyE","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaipDbhE693VyE","pdf",649953,16,"English","# Timely Questions\n## Is Hitler a Julian the Apostate?\n## Is Dictatorial Power Justifiable?\n## Shula the Church go “Anti-3Fascist”?\n## Should Catholics Favor Corporatism?\n## Is the “Guildsman’s” Policy Unpatriotic?\n## A Way to Servility\n## Communism in England\n## Dangers for the Stay-at-Homes","[{\"question\":\"What is the purpose of this issue’s “Timely Questions”?\",\"answer\":\"It addresses urgent questions about the war and its likely termination, aiming to counter influences it sees as unworthy or erroneous and to guide the country onto a proper course.\"},{\"question\":\"Why does the text criticize Monsignor Fulton J.
