Value of Catholic .
Press Extolled; No
Retreat from World
Bridgeport, Conn. — A bish
op counseled here that persons
who cut themselves off from
Catholic publications because
they are disturbed by some of
the things they read are making
“a great mistake.”
Bishop Walter W. Curtis of
Bridgeport said it would be “a
tragedy” not to keep in touch
with the Catholic press on a reg
ular basis, because “there is no
other means of communication
bringing us the full picture of
Christian thinking and reac
tion”
Bishop Curtis in a letter mark
ing Catholic Press Month which
is observed in Febmary, urged
Catholics to subscribe to their
diocesan newspaper “as part of
the over all adult education pro
gram in religion in our dio
cese.”
“Likely,” he said, “you will
not agree with every position
taken by this Catholic paper.
Neither do I. Yet it is a chal
lenging paper. It will strengthen
our faith if we read it with good
judgment and regularly.”
He cautioned Catholics against
expecting to find in Catholic
newspapers and magazines “a set
of ready-made solutions merely
to be accepted by us. Rather, the
Catholic newsman attempts to
present the facts as he uncovers
them; the editorial writer and
columnist reflect upon these
facts to offer a tentative solu
tion or program for Christian
life and action.”
