John Arnold<p>_The Evening Post_, 10 October 1924:<br> WOMEN IN PRINT.<br>…<br> Bishop <a href="https://social.vivaldi.net/tags/Averill" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Averill</span></a> remarked recently in reference to the activities of the Discharged Prisoners’ Aid Society that “it is evident that this work has not yet struck the imagination of the public, otherwise it would be given more generous support.” He said that it had been suggested that wealthy people when making their wills might give a kind thought to the necessities of the outcast, the criminal, and the unfortunate.… there are no “overhead” expenses in the society, for there is no agent, office rent, or other expenses; all the work done is by voluntary and accredited persons.… every penny of the money donated will go for the benefit of those who, perhaps, come out of gaol without a friend in the world. It also assists wives and families of men serving sentence of three months and under, but the limited sum at the disposal of the committees is too small for much to be done in this direction.

Carmelite Quotes<p><em><strong>The Pastoral Letter from the Dutch bishops</strong> </em><br><em><strong>26 July 1942</strong></em></p><p>Saint Edith Stein’s biographer and former novice mistress, Sister Teresia Renata Posselt, O.C.D. of the Carmel of Cologne witnessed from a distance the events in the Netherlands leading to the arrest of Edith Stein. She tells us that even in Germany, Hitler’s regime was targeting Discalced Carmelite nuns:</p><p>The first victims were the Sisters in Luxembourg who were driven out of their monastery in February 1941 so that it could be made into a clubhouse and dance-hall for the B.d.M. [League of German Girls]. Scarcely had these homeless nuns found refuge with their Sisters in Pützchen before this Carmel also, together with the Carmel of Aachen, was dissolved in a space of two hours by the arbitrary power of the Gestapo. Düren followed in August of the same year.</p><p>Sr. Teresia Renata indicates that during that same time frame, relations between the regime and the Dutch bishops had deteriorated:</p><p>In Holland, the regulations issued against the Jews grew steadily more fierce. In August 1941, a conflict had already arisen between the Dutch Episcopate and the German authorities.</p><p>Among the measures in Holland that caused the Dutch bishops to bristle: a 1941 decree from the regime, which stated that only Jewish teachers could teach Jewish children. The decree meant that Catholic children of Jewish parentage no longer could attend Catholic schools. Cardinal de Jong of Utrecht protested, declaring that Catholic schools would never exclude children because of their heritage.</p><p>When the Nazi regime next decreed that signs stating “Forbidden to Jews” should be posted on all public buildings, once again the Dutch bishops refused to comply. But all of these measures paled in comparison to what followed, as Sr. Teresia Renata explains:</p><p>Yet the exclusion of Jews from public life was nothing when compared to the mass deportations of men, women, and children, indeed of whole Jewish families, that began in 1942. As was generally feared, many of them went to meet certain death in the Polish concentration camps, where they were either gassed or driven to do inhuman work in the salt, lead, or tin mines.</p><p>Thus it followed that a telegram was sent to the highest Nazi official in the Netherlands (<a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Arthur_Seyss-Inquart#Reichskommissar_in_the_Netherlands" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Reichskommissar Arthur Seyss-Inquart</a>) on 11 July 1942 by a united, ecumenical representation of Dutch churches expressing their anger at the deportations. </p><p>The Nazi regime replied that any converted Jews who became Christians before 1941 would be spared deportation. However, the Dutch churches, including the Catholics, were not appeased; they were still opposed to the mass deportations of the Jews. </p><p>Sr. Teresia Renata describes what happened next:</p><p>[T]herefore they resolved to issue a joint protest in writing that was to be read publicly in all the churches on Sunday 26 July 1942. The proclamation should contain the text of the telegram sent to Seyss-Inquart on 11 July 1942. But even before the day on which it was to be read, Seyss-Inquart and Schmidt [his associate, the General-Kommissar] found out about the content of this joint letter of the church communities. </p><p>On 24 July the Nazi officials made concerted efforts to persuade church leaders to omit the text of the 11 July protest telegram from their public proclamation to be read from the pulpit. Some were ready to relent, but <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johannes_de_Jong" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">Cardinal de Jong of Utrecht</a> stood his ground. That a worldly power should intervene to influence the pastoral duties of the bishops was unthinkable. </p><p>Furthermore, the Dutch bishops’ pastoral letter had already been written on 20 July and distributed. It was impossible to retract the statement on purely practical grounds.</p><p>Thus on Sunday 26 July 1942, the <a rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" href="https://rorate-caeli.blogspot.com/2012/07/70th-anniversary-of-pastoral-letter-of.html" target="_blank">pastoral letter</a> of the Dutch episcopal conference was read in every church at every Mass. Sr. Teresia Renata tells us that the letter began as follows:</p><p><em>We are experiencing a time of great distress, as well from a spiritual as from a material standpoint. But there are two problems greater than any others, that of the Jews and that of those who are deported to forced labor abroad.</em> </p><p><em>We must all become deeply aware of these dangers, and it is the purpose of this joint pastoral letter to make you conscious of them. </em></p><p><em>Such distress must also be brought to the notice of those who exercise power over these people. Therefore the Most Reverend [Catholic] Episcopate of the Netherlands, in conjunction with almost all the other church communities in the Netherlands, has turned to the authorities of the occupying forces; for the Jews among others, in a telegram with the following content dispatched on Saturday 11 July of this year: </em></p><p><em>“The undersigned church communities of the Netherlands, deeply shaken by the measures taken against the Jews in the Netherlands that have excluded them from participation in the normal life of the people, have learned with horror of the latest regulations by which men, women, children, and whole families are to be deported to the territory of the German Reich…”</em></p><p>The Nazi response was swift. On the following Sunday, 2 August 1942, Jewish converts in religious Orders were rounded up all over the Netherlands. St. Edith Stein and her sister Rosa were among them. </p><p>On the same day, General-Kommissar Schmidt publicly announced that the deportations were a direct reprisal against the pastoral letter that was read in the churches on 26 July. Sr. Teresia Renata tells us that Schmidt pressed the issue further:</p><p>Since the Catholic hierarchy… refuses to trouble about negotiations [to edit their letter], then we, for our part, are compelled to regard the Catholic Jews as our worst enemies and consequently see to their deportation to the East with all possible speed.</p><p>So it was that a Verbite priest remarked later: “all these religious, both men and women, truly died <em>in testimonium fidei</em> [in witness to the faith as martyrs], because their arrest was an act of reprisal for the bishops’ pastoral letter.”</p><p><strong>Sister Teresia Renata Posselt, O.C.D.</strong></p><p><em>Chapter 20, Plans of escape (excerpts)</em></p><p><strong>Note:</strong><em> </em>On the same day that the Catholic bishops’ pastoral letter was read in all the Dutch parishes, <a href="https://carmelitequotes.blog/2019/06/16/quote-of-the-day-16-june/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">St. Titus Brandsma died a martyr in Dachau</a>, on 26 July 1942.

Carmelite Quotes<blockquote><p><em>“I knew this meant that I was signing my own death warrant, but that certainty did not prevent me from doing my duty…. We are in the hands of God.”</em></p><p>Saint Titus Brandsma</p></blockquote><p>Back in the Netherlands, the Dutch Bishops were promulgating a new pastoral letter to be read at every Mass on the very Sunday when Titus was dying. </p><p>It began with the observation, <em>“These are times of great afflictions, two of the most unjust being the oppression of the Jews and the sentences to forced labor in concentration camps …” </em></p><p>It concluded, </p><p><em>“Let us pray to God, beloved brothers and sisters, through the intercession of the Mother of Mercy, that He be a refuge for those men and women who, torn from their beloved families, are condemned to forced labor. … May He protect them body and soul, preserve them from despair and discouragement, and keep them true to their faith. May the Lord also grant strength to their families who were forced to watch as they were taken away. May He aid the afflicted and oppressed, the imprisoned and the flogged, all those who see themselves under the threatening cloud of danger….” </em></p><p>How mysterious the ways of the Lord! At the very time when Titus was passing from this world to the Father in Heaven, the entire Dutch Church was praying for him. </p><p>The pastoral letter of the Dutch hierarchy had great impact on the entire country. It had also made an equal, though contrary, impact on the Nazi forces of occupation. Reprisals were not long in coming. </p><p>The commissar of the Third Reich made his response with actions: on August 2 all Catholics in the Netherlands who had Jewish ancestors were arrested and sent to concentration camps. The commissar stated publicly: “All this is in retaliation for the pastoral letter of the bishops.”</p><p><strong>Father Miguel Maria Arribas, O.Carm.</strong></p><p><em>Chapter XIII, Holocaust</em></p><p><strong>Note: </strong>Saint Titus Brandsma arrived in Dachau from Kleve Transport Camp on 19 June 1942.
