The notice of German Catholic Reviews in the last number of Blackfriars gave a clear survey of the problems which confront German Catholicism as a result of the Revolution and the establishment of the new National-Socialist State. It would, indeed, be quite wrong to suppose that the attitude of German Catholics to this new order was chiefly one of irritation at the Gleichschaltung of the Catholic Centre Party, or any such secondary outcome of the Revolution. The Catholic’s outlook obliges him to view things in their essentials and to confront them from the standpoint of what is fundamental in his religion. And it is a striking testimony to the true greatness of our religion that it should, by its emphasis on objective truth, awake in co-religionists in other countries such understanding and regard for the present situation.
