GROWTHOFDISCUSSION-ITSMEANINGANDTENDENCY

Therewasnoevidencetoshowthat thepeopleofEnglandweremorereligious,buttherewasevidencetoshow theywerefonderoftalkingaboutreligioninpublic. Thiswasoneoftheconclusionspre- sentedbyRev.RonaldKnoxinalecturetoacrowdedaudienceatthe TheatreRoyal.Dublin,on"Religionin thePress,"inwhichhedealtwiththe growthofreligiousdiscussioninBritishjournals,and-examinedsomeaspectsof Thosethesubject.whocontributedtothediscussions,hesaid,felttheyneededare- ligionofsomekind,andinsteadof turningtotheteachingsoftheiryouth, theyattemptedtoinventareligionfor themselves.

FatherKnox,whowasreceivedwith applause,saidheproposedtodealwith* onefeaturewhichhadbeenprominentduringthelastthreeyearsintheBritishPress,namely,thehabitofinviting well-knownpeople,asaruleinthe worldofliterature,todiscussinthe publicpresstheirviewsonfundamen- talpointsofreligion,suchastheexistenceofGod,theexistenceofalife afterdeath,andsoon.

Inparticular,hewantedtoexamine theimpressionthattheexistenceof suchfeaturesinthesecularpressbe- tokenedanawakenedinterestinreligionamongtheinhabitantsofthe neighbouringisland;thattheventilationofthesesubjectsinthepresswas likelytohaveagoodeffectinfurtheringthattendencyandthattheyshould begratefultothepressforinthisway givingreligionanabsolutelygratuitous advertisement.Theywerecommonly toldthatthereweresignseverywhere inEnglandofareawakeninginterestin religion.Theywerenottogiveless credittotheseassuranceswhenthey foundthatthestatisticsofchurch membershipshowedinalmostevery denominationatendencytodecline.

Hehadtheuneasyfeelingthatthe symptomsofthetimewerebeingwidelymisread.Thepresswascriticised fromtwooppositeangles.Theywere tolditwasatyrannousinstitutionwhichcouldmakethemdoandsay, andeventhink,whatitlikedbythe powerofmaskedsuggestion,and,on theotherside,theyweretoldthatthe presshad,intruth,nomindofits own,andnopolicyofitsown.

Boththesestatementswere,ina sense,true.Inallgovernments,howevertyrannous,theymusttakeinto account,tosomeextent,thefeelingsofthegoverned.Therewasalimit beyondwhichtheycouldnotgo,and anewspaperwaslimitedinitsambitiontoimposeviewsonitsreadersby thetasteandpatienceofthosereaders.

Hencetherewasadelicateequipoiseofforcesbetweenthepressandthe public.Thetrueartistinjournalism wantedtotakeupsomeideawhichis alreadydimlypresenttothemindof thepublicandtopopulariseitsoeffectivelythat'hecouldalmostpassasthe inventorofit(laughter).

Allthiswasnottosaythatthepress exercisednopower.Itcrystallisedand focussedpublicsentiment,andifit didnotdictatetothemwhattheywere tosay,itmadethemgoonsayingwhat theyweresaying,withmoreconfidence andlessfearofcontradiction.
