The Light of the East February 1945

The great lack is the absence of any voice in the control of direction of the concern to which most of the waking hours of the day are given. [...] The a cession of Julian the Apostate ( 361-363) to the throne of the empire witnessed paradoxically enough the return of the ditracted Ch istian East to the orthodoxy of Rome and Nicea Pope St. [...] The concord between the Pope and the emperors rendered it possible for the former to complete the work of Nicea by condemning the heresy of Macedonius — denial of the divinity of the Holy Ghost -- that as the logical outcome of Arianism had been gaining ground from the time when it had first arisen and had been unmasked at Athanasius' Council of Alexandria in 362. [...] He has been called the General of the Exercises the General of the Ratio Studiorum the General of the Missions. [...] For the Militant Church of Christ these were sad and stirring times culminating in the flight of the 'Pope to Gaeta under the prtection of the French flag " to spare the Roman people the eternal memory of regicide against Christ's Vicar".
