August Hi, 1968 The Priest Who Outfoxed the Nazis in Rome Catholic PVCSS Features New Vork — 'The scone is Nazi-occupied Rome during World War II. Msgr. Hugh O'Flaherty who made a prac- tice of risking his life to save enemies of the Germans, is visiting an Italian nobleman to get funds for his rescue operations. Suddenly the place is raid- ed by Nazis, headed by the hated and feared chief of the German SS i n Rome, Col. Herbert Kappler. The priest runs to the cel- lar of the palace, which at the moment was being loaded with the winter supply of coal. He strips off his black coat, rips his shirt off, rubs himself all over with coal dust and climbs up the shute to the trapdoor through which the coal was poured into the cellar. A German voice calls out in poor Italian, \You men hurry up with your work and get out of here.\ The monsignor, disguised as a coal carrier, gladly obliges. After the war, Col. Kappler was jailed for his crimes and only one person ever visited him—Msgr. O'Flaherty. In 1959, Kappler was baptized a Catholic by the very man he would have murdered years - before. This is but one of the ad- ventures in the story of \The Scarlet Pimpernel of the Vat- ican,\ who is credited with saving more Allied lives than any other 1 person in the war. Msgr. O'Klaherty was so successful at saving war ref- ugees and escaped prisoners, that during the 1943-44 battle years he was the Gestapo's \most wanted man in Rome.\ J. P. Gallagher, an Eng\ lisii journalist who persuaded Msgr. O'Flaherty to talk about his war activities short- ly before the priest died In his native Ireland in 1963, has publicized Msgr. O'Flaherty's secret 'derring-do in a book titled The Scarlet Pimpernel of the Vatican\ (Coward-Mc- Cann). The \pimpernel\ name was first popularized in 1905 by Baroness Orczy. who created a fictional and dashing French -Revolution hero who NOV/ SHOWING A COMPLETE LINE OF FALL & WINTER FASHIONS FOR BRIDES AND BRIDEMAIDS MO^ u\\ r > GOWNS •lOWt P GIRLS ;/3&s&§s BRIDAL SHOP n.ul\ o A.M..«; P.M..

What eicjictly is the role of the Christian missionary? Re- cvnluation of the whole idea of mission has left many Catholics in a quandrv concerning the missionary's place in the Chutrch today. Since Vallcan II has emphasized the fact that salvation can be Ralnc-d even by those who are not external believers in list, is thc-re » need for missionaries to travel throughout the *l>tt'atlhi|> feire \(rood Mews-\ t>f salvation?- — The role off the missionary today can be seen In this way. Christ isn-resent among all peoples. He Is there amontg the tribes In ttae deepest Jungles of Africa; He Is there in the mount-airs of Australia; He is there in the deserts of India. He Ms present even though the Inhabitants have never heard of Him. For that is the real meaning of the Incarna- tion, that Christ became man to redeem all men once and for all. Missionaries, therefore, do not bring Christ to these people; rar-tlicr, they witness to the fad thai He i s there already. F~«r It Is the Church's obligation to be a sign—a signal, as It w*rc—to the world, telling it that Christ 3s alive, that He is present among us, that He Is waiting to b»e recognize A. - Bi-ilicicLiitcst hcinfi. tb.cji^Ciu - lsllaa.mi5sipnaries are ger- forming a s*Tvirep that no other people can perform. If, for some reasons, missionaries could discharge no other function than simply being with their people, this alone would be reason for their m-stonc*. For they have openly labeled themselves as followers or Christ and as such, they are manifesting to all the world Ihie meaning and beauty of the Christian life. (irante-d, Itaen, that Christ has come and remains with all men. What Ehen are we to make of Jesus' last command \to make disomies of all nations\? Does the knowledge that Christ Is p»rp$orat among non-believers lessen the obligation to spread thegrospel message? Vatican II has been explicit In its response to this question. The Christian missionary has a definite obligation to \preach the gospel to ever-}' creature,\ for what was once preached by the Lord must he proclaimed and -spread abroad to the ends of the eartli, Therefore, thowgh his primary concern Is not mass conver- sion, the renlsslimary must still make an effort to preach thue _ JVo_rd _of.(»ojrl,.!L« that.hisJicafers.-wUl be- movctL to accept-fck In (his wy, whtat is begun by Christ's presence among men can be brouftlit to fulfillment by the acceptance of trie gospel iiie-ssaRP. But how does all this concern us? How i-s the average Christian—w-ho will never even sec a mission field—affected by this new awnpencis of the missionary's place in the Chuirch loday? The nnswe-r is simply this: as the missionary's obligation to bear wllnerss |r» the pivsctrc of Christ increases,'so. too does Hir own. Tli-e Council Fathers have admonished that \wherever 'hoy live, all Cliri stians are bound to show forth, by the example of their livfc-s an<l by the witness of their speech\ that they no believer.- inrhrist. Each one of us, then, has the obligation to be a sign of Christ's presence in ihe world All of us, of muse, cannot iaaivass the world*spreading the \Good News\ of -nlvirtton: brat we can join Tn prayer and sacrifice with those who do. Ihe best means to support these mission efforts is the society for the Propagation of the Faith, the Church's official missionary organ ization. Through the Societv, missionaries all iver the world aire aided in their efforts to build the Kingdom if God upon earth. Your ;;enerosity to the Srcicty will thus make it possible for more people to recognize Christ in the world. SAMTATItiv AND SERVICE are the work of Tbe hociety fo»r the Progagation of the Faith.

Rev. Msgr. John F. Duffy, 50 Chestnut Street, Rochester, New- York 14604. stalked the city by day and b y night, taunting the Germans by his very presence, stand- ing alone on the steps of St. I'cter's, waiting for those in trouble to come to him and be saved from imprisonment, torture and possibly death. , In the flamboyant style of a true pimpernel, Msgr. O'Flaherty defied the German SS with clever tricks, such as hiding people in. Italian Jails, where the SS men would never think to look; or pass- ing people through the Vati- can gates dressed in his own monsignor's robes. One young anti-Fascist girl was saved by the monsignor by having her wear the uniform of a Papal Swiss guard and marching her right past the Germans, unnoticed. He mass-produced forged documents behind the Vati- can walls, and stole boots from a German supply fac- tory so that rescued POW's could rejoin their fighting forces well-equipped. \This breathtaking series of narrow escapes, inspired plotting and defiance . . . fairly cries out to be filmed,\ commented \Publisher's Weekly\ in a review of Gal- lagher's book, and if it ever is, the title role could well go to actor Karl Maiden, who bears a resemblance to Msgr. O'Flaherty. Msgr. O'Flaherty, who was secretary to the Holy Office in the Vatican Curia, first be- came involved when Pope Pius XII ordered the Holy Of- fice to be a center of infor- mation and aid for POWs, refugees and their families. Msgr. O'Flaherty was ap- pointed as the interpreter for British POWs. It was a specific incident, howeverl which compelled him to go beyond visiting camps to setting up 'his res- cue network. The decision came as the monsignor watched hundreds of Jews be- ing herded into trucks, \those gentle people being treated like beasts,\ as he put it. The Germans had demand- ed 2 million pounds for the lives of the Jews of Rome, and though this sum was pledged within 24 hours by Pope Pius XII and the Ro- man nobility, the Germans suddenly changed their minds and decided to herd the Jews to the concentration camps and, eventually, the gas cham- bers. The monsignor, then 46, enlisted the' aid of the Brit- ish legation in the Vatican, who, with the aid of escaped British officers, Italian peas- ants and Roman noblewomen, helped him set up his escape network.
