Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Official Report of the Second American Catholic Missionary Congress The good natured charge that we Americans are a nation of "Jiners" has often been made, and not without foundation; but it is not true that consequences in the shape of Conventions and Congresses are entirely American. It is, however, a fact that they are more popular in America than anywhere else. As a nation of business men we know the advantage of "getting together," and we are, sometimes, inclined to push such advantages very far. In religious and social and educational matters especially, have we all recognized the value of Conventions. From the Convention, men go back enthused themselves, and filled with ideas calculated to enthuse others. Delegates return with a better idea of what a movement is about; for they have had an opportunity of studying it and its cause from many unthought-of angles. They have felt its burning message and they take a warmer and deeper interest in it ever after. Then Conventions and Congresses, because they represent a great many people scattered over a large area, are likely to draw consider able attention from the press. They are for a movement, a form of advertising, which most people unite in saying is extremely valuable. The Catholic Church has not been unmindful, in her own wise, conservative way, of the advantages of Conventions and Congresses. She has given her approval to the great International Eucharistic Congresses which gather together every year so many prelates, priests and laymen, burning with zeal for the honor of Our Lord in the Blessed Eucharist. In America two Missionary Congresses, at Chicago five years ago, and Boston last year, have not only won her approval, but even had special Papal Representatives present to indicate the Holy Father´s own keen interest. It would be impossible to separate the ideas that brought together these two great Congresses from the ideas that brought about the foundation of The Catholic Church Extension Society. So, a few words concerning both will serve as the best introduction to the Report of the Boston Congress, as it is presented in the following pages.
