Sunday Comics: Catholic in Action 6

First, here’s some news about a real-life Catholic in Action: Cardinal Thuan’s cause has officially opened, giving him the title Servant of God Francis Xavier Nguyen Van Thuan!  If you don’t know about him, do your soul a favor and rent this DVD or buy this book.  He’s truly an amazing future saint.

Below is part 6 of the ten-part series Catholics in Action, which ran from 1952-1953 in the Catholic school comic book Treasure Chest of Fun and Fact.  These pages come from Catholic University’s online archive.  It also features the origin of the widely-used Faith and Freedom readers, still available through Seton Educational Media.  Read on:
