SomeChangesMadeInVaticanPaper

TypicalofthechangeintheVaticanCity dailyweretwoeditorialcomments-brief, clearandtothepoint-whichwerecarried recentlyontheexpulsionofabishopand priestsfromCubaandtheresponsetoSoviet PremierNikitaKhrushchev'scommentonthe peacemessageofHisHolinessthePope.

Vaticanprelates,diplomatsandnewsmen,whose businessitistolookcloselyeachdayatthenewspaper,theVatican'schief sounding-boardofpublic opinion,havenoticedthe change9takingplace gradually,almostimperceptibly,eversinceManzinifirstoccupiedthe editor'schairinMarch, 1960.

EditorManzinihassaid thathisgreatestencouragementhascomefromthe commentsonthechanges madebythecardinalsofthe Vaticanstaffandbyhis fellow-journalists.

Thefirstvisiblesignof changecameonDecember 5,1960,whenthedaily switchedfromasix-column toaseven-columnlayout.A fewweekslatertheusual fourpageswerein.:re:,edto ten.

ChangeInStyle

Besidesthegraphiclayoutofthenewspaper,there hasalsobeenadecided changeincontent.There hasbeenanincreaseofnews itemsofuniversalinterest, aswasdeemedproperfora newspaperofthecharacter ofL'Osservatore,andalesseningofnewsitemswithan interestlimitedtoRomeand Italy.Therehasalsobeen anincreaseduseofnews andfeaturephotographs.

InJanuary,1961,the paperintroducedaregular listingofmoralratingson Italiantelevisionprogrammes.Becauseofthe localcharacteroftelevision, thesehadtobelocal.Shortly afterwardstherewasanincreasealsoinbookreviews andfilmcommentaries.

Probablythemostimportantofallthechanges mappedoutforL'OsservatoreisManzini'scurrent campaigntomakethenewspapermorereadable.This hasbeeninpartinspiredby thegood-naturedribbing thattheeditorreceived fromthePope,fromCardinalMontini,Archbishopof Milan,andfromthelate CardinalTardini,Vatican SecretaryofState,onthe occasionofthenewspaper's centenarycelebratedearlier thisyear.Butlongbefore that,Manzinidecidedthat thereshouldbeagradual departurefromthenewspaper'straditionalformal literarystyle.

Anotherinnovationis Manzini'sprogrammeof

changes,whichhasalready beenputintoeffectinthe pastfewmonths,istheintroductionofthefulltexts ofimportantdocumentsand discourses.Recentexamples ofthiswerethesignificant textsoftheconferenceon thecomingecumenicalcouncilofArchbishopPericle Felici,secretary-generalof theCouncil'sCentralPreparatoryCommission,given atTurinonSeptember13, andtheallocutionofAmletoCardinalCicognani,the VaticanSecretaryofState, onseparatedEasternChristiansgivenatNapleson September19. Beforelong,Manzinisays, hehopestogivegreaterdevelopmenttoL'Osservatore's commentsoninternational politics.

WHYOBSERVESUNDAY?

M.V.,YASS:ThemattersaboutwhichIwritecroppedupintheoffice.Apartfrom enlighteningnon-Catholics,yourexplanationsrenderagreatservicetoCatholics,aswecan ojearnmoreeachandeveryday.

R.:Afterthat,itwouldbeimpossibletoby-passyour questions,butdelayhasbeenunavoidableowingto lettersbeingansweredinorderofreception.

Q.:WhywasthedayofrestchangedfromSaturdayto Sunday.

R.:BecausetheNewCovenantestablishedbyChrist abolishedtheOldCovenantwithitslawsfortheJews, oneofwhichwastheobligationofobservingthe seventhday,orSaturday,astheDayofRest.Neither ChristnortheApostlesappointedanyDayofRestas anobligationforChristians.St.Pauldeclaredsimply thattheOldLawwas"doneaway"(2Cor.3:11).However,intheNewTestament,asamatterofcustom(not ofobligation)wefindChristianstreatingthefirstday oftheweek,orSunday,withspecialreverence.This wasinhonourofOurLord'sresurrectiononSunday, andtheDescentoftheHolyGhostupontheinfant Churchonthatday,PentecostSunday.Whenthepagan persecutionsoftheChurchceased,andtheEmperor Constantinewasconverted,agovernmentdecreewas issuedthatSundaywastobeobservedasadayofrest fromordinaryworkandbusinesspursuits.TheCatholic ChurchthenmadetheecclesiasticallawthatChristians mustobserveSundayasadayofreligiousobligation, attendingMassandsanctifyingtheiractivitiesonthat day.TheobservanceofSundayasareligiousduty, therefore,isduetothelegislationoftheCatholic Church.

CHRISTIANSAND "IMMORTALITY"

"PATMOS,"YAGOONA:DoesnottheChristianreligionstresstheresurrectionofthe bodyasopposedtothepaganGreekideaof theimmortalityofthesoul?

R.:Thatcannotrightlybe said.Onecouldsaythat Christiansstresstheresursectionofthebodyaswell asthefactthatthesoulis immortalofitsverynature, asopposedtotheGreek philosophicalideaofthe soulsurvivingthedeathof thebodywithoutanyprospectofbeingreunitedwith thatbodyintheresurrection.

THEAPOSTLES'CREED

Q.:DoesnottheApostles' Creed,bysaying:"Ibelieveintheresurrection ofthebody,"meanthat thebodyistototalpersonalityofmanwhich goesoutofexistenceat deathandislaterrestored toexistencebythepower ofGod?

R.:No.AllChristians acceptedthefactthatman consistsofamaterialbody andanimmortal,spiritual soul.TheteachingofChrist wasquiteclear."Fearyenot themthatkillthebody,and arenotabletokillthesoul," Hesaid(Matt.10.28).Were bodyandsouloneandthe samething,onecouldnot killtheonewithoutkilling theother.Acceptingthefact ofthesoul'simmortality, Christiansprofessedbelief intherestorationofthe bodyalso,eventhoughthey hadseendeathclaimit,to bereunitedwiththesoul someday.

"PAGANGREEK INFLUENCE"

Q.:Isuggestthatbecause theidea,oftheimmortalityofthesoulmadeits wayintotheChristian faithfromtheGreek philosophers,Christians formanycenturiesspoke oftheirhopeoflifeafter deathasmeaningonlythe immortalityofthesoul.

R.:Thatcannotpossibly be;forifthereisonesummaryoftheFaithwhich Catholicshavetreasured rightthroughthecenturies, andwhichtheyhavebeen taughtaschildrenfrom

theirearliestyears,itisthe Apostle'sCreedwithitsprofession:"Ibelieveinthe resurrectionofthebody." Neverwasthatbeliefexcludedbytheirbeliefalso intheimmortalityofthe soul,andtheirChristian hopecentredintheglorificationofbothbodyandsoul eventuallyinheaven.

BIBLICALDOCTRINE

Q.:CloserstudyoftheBible showsthattheideaofany naturalandinherentimmortalityofthesoulmust berejectedbecauseit supposesthebodytobea worthlessthingtobediscardedforever,andbecauseitexcludesafuture destinyoftotallifefor man.

R.TheCatholicdoctrine oftheimmortalityofthe soulhasneitherofthoseimplications.

Q.TheChristianhopeof immortalityemphasises thepowerofGodoverthe factofdeath.Atdeath mangoesrightoutofexistence;butGod'spower willbringthebeliever backintoanotherexistenceandanewlifeasan undeservedgiftofgrace. Thisexcludesthepagan Greekideathatthesoul doesnotdiewiththebody butcanliveanwithout thebody.

R.:TheChristianideais notthepaganGreekidea; itistheChristianteaching thatthesoul,separatedfrom thebody,everretainsits adaptationtounionwiththe body,withwhichitwillin factbereunitedintheresurrection.Andthatsoulsdo liveoninthemeantimeis evidentfromthefactthat ChristrefutedtheSadducees byremindingthemthatGod istheGodofAbrahamand theotherPatriarchswho cannotbealtogetherdead, becauseGodistheGodof theliving,notofthedead (Matt.22:13).TheCatholic doctrinealonedoesjustice tobiblicalteachinginthis matter.

R.:BishopLoane,ofthe "MooreCollege"traditionof militantProtestantism,isan activeopponentofanyfinancialprovisionbytheState fortheeducationofchildren whoattendCatholicschools, andhasleddeputationsto politicalpartiesinorderto enforcehisviewinthose quarters.Strangelyenough, onJuly8,thedayafter BishopLoane'sletterinthe "Herald,"the"Bulletin" cameoutwithaleading article,protestingthatthis "questionhasbeensobedevilledbysectarianismthat themorebigotedanti-aid spokesmennolongerbother toarguetheircase-they simplyexertpressure

"Apartfromhatredof Catholics,themorenarrowmindedopponentsofState aidseemtohaveforgotten whytheyopposeit."

The"over-ridingimpressionisthatanti-Catholicism ratherthanaconcernfor educationalprinciplesisall thatisbeingdiscussed.On ordinaryliberalgroundsthe Catholicsappeartohavean extremelystrongcase;differenceineducationalapproachesistobeencouraged notfrustrated,inademocraticsociety;itisnot necessarilyintheinterests ofeducationthatitshould followauniformpattern laiddownbyGovernment officials;anditcertainly seemsoddthatCatholic parentsshouldbetaxedto maintainschoolstheydonot wishtosendtheirchildren to.Theanswerstotheseobjectionsareusuallyofan authoritariankind.Sometimes theyaredishonest."

Inspeakinglikethat,the "Bulletin" tolook atthingsthroughcoloured glasses;butBishopLoane cannothelpdoingso.

CATHOLICDEMAND FORJUSTICE

Q.:"Dr.W.E.Murray'srestatementofthetraditionalRomanCatholic `injusticeplea'atthis stageinthecontroversy concerningStateaidto denominationalschools," BishopLoanewrites,"designedasitistoappealto theAustraliansenseof fairplay,demandsfrank examination."

R.:ThattheCatholic"injusticeplea"istraditional doesnotmeanthatitisa mereparrot-cry,unthinkinglyreiterated.Itmeans thatconsistentlyoverthe yearsCatholicshavenotaccepted,donotaccept,and neverwillacceptthemalpractice-forthat'sallitis -bywhichthechildrenare excludedfromanybenefit frompubliceducational fundstowhichthey,equally withallothercitizens,must subscribe. Thereisnodiscrimination againstCatholicsasregards beingtaxed;thereisdiscriminationagainstthemin theuseofthetaxesthey pay.Thecasedoesdamand frankexamination,as BishopLoanesays;butit

alsodemandsunbiasedexamination,anditisnot likelytoreceivethatfrom thosewhoseonedesireis thatdiscriminationagainst Catholicsshouldcontinue, allconsiderationsbeing madetocontributetothat end.

PIN-POINTINGTHE "FALLACY"

Q.:"ThefallacyofDr.Murray'sargument,"declares BishopLoane,"isseen mostclearlywhenitis appliedtounmarriedtaxpayers."

R.:Inthatcase,there's nofallacy;forthebestillustrationBishopLoanecan thinkofisuselessforthe purposeshehasinmind.

Q.:"IfDr.Murray'sargumentwerejustorlogical," hewrites,"itwouldbeno lessjustandlogicalfor allunmarriedtaxpayers tocampaignforexemptionfromtheirshareof taxationforpubliceducation,childendowments, etc.

R.:Thatdoesnotfollowat all.BishopLoansisconfusingtwoentirelydifferent things.Theoneiswhether allcitizensshouldcontribute taxesforthegeneralwelfare ofthiscountry-andthat Australianchildrenshould beeducatedisnecessaryto itswelfare-whiletheother iswhethersomechildren shouldbeignoredbythe Statesolelyonreligious groundswhendisbursing fundsforeducation.Bishop LoanethinksCatholicchildrenshouldbediscriminatedagainstbecausehe happenstodisliketheCatholicreligion.Toescape admittingthatheadvances histaxpayerargument.But itwon'tholdwater.AustraliaagreesthattheeducationofAustralianchildren isacommunityresponsibility.All,singleandmarried;withorwithoutchildren,aretaxedforthatPurpose,andrightlyso.Andall Australiansbenefitfromthe generalstandardofeducationprevailinginthecountry,andfromourno,.being a.nationofilliterates.But whatdifferencedoesitmake totaxpayerswhetherthe childrenreceiveapurely seculareducationorwhether thechildrenofthosewho preferitreceivereligious trainingtogetherwiththeir educationinsecularsubjects?Werealleducatedin secularschools,allwould equallybeachargeonpublicrevenue.Istheobjection toreligiousschoolsthefact thatreligionistaughtthere?
