Catholic Action: Uses, Abuses and Excuses is the name
of a seminal study written for The Saint George Educational Trust by Liam
Connolly and published in booklet form in the late 1990’s.
The study highlights a fundamental incongruity between Catholic
Action as defined by Pope Saint Pius X and the concept later promoted under the same
name by Pope Pius XI.
The study struck a deep chord with Bishop Bernard Tissier de
Mallerais of the Society of Saint Pius X and led to him publishing his own
article on the subject, entitled Catholic Action Defined in the August
2003 edition of The Angelus magazine.
Suffice it to say that earning one’s salt requires Catholics
in action, rather than Catholic inaction.
