Founded in December, 1948, it re- flects their thought on some of the major problems of the dayg and these, as the title indicates, are viewed from the clear-view- point, i.e., the Catholic viewpoint. Such an approach not only informs, but also moulds the Catholic mind. It adjusts the serninarian's thinking to God's point of view, clarifies his .ideas and elevates his ideals. And lastly, but not least, the Clear- View strives to give its readers an insight into the wisdom of the Saints.
