an that the world today has men who
on ignore not only the Church, but the
.ed "very rudiments of religion itself;"
in. men who see no evil in evil deeds
,rd and lust and would spurn "the
.ve primary norms of morals anct jus
ras tice;" "there are cynics who would
16. deride holy things and weak men
1at who would permit these offenses
m- to pass...."
tin Despite this turmoil, His Holi-
ness said, "there are great raysan of hope and fields white with har;he
in vest for those who labor to bring
;he Christ to the world." He stressed
ipe the oath of the Jesuits, which en
tor ables them to bring "a spirit pre
[n- pa_red and prompt to obey in all
ce- thmgs the true Spouse of Christ
.. ,. our holy Mother Church."
