Projects Sent Out VATICAN CITY: TWELVE PROJECTS REVISED HAVE BEEN POSTED TO THE FATHERS OF THE SECOND VATICAN COUNCOUNCIL CIL, THE PRESS OFFICE SAID. The press office said (May 15) that His Holiness Pope John XXIII examined the 12 projects "personally and with great attention" .before they were sent out. The 12 projects represent almost three-quarters of the work to be submitted to the council Fathers for the next council session which starts September 8. The N.C.W.C. News Service was told that a total of 17 projects will be submitted. It was previously estimated that 20 consolidated projects would be considered at the second session. No correction of the titles of projects to be presented has been released yet.

New Project The press office also reported that members and experts of the Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity had met in Rome from May 13 to 18 at the palace of the Knights of the Holy Sepulchre. The full staff of both the Theological Commission and the Lay Apostolate Commission met from May 15 to 20 to examine jointly the study and elaboration of a new project on the presence of the Church in the world today, the press office said. The Theological Commission was with the Commission for Disciplinb of the Sacraments and with the the Secretariat for Promoting Christian Unity for Other studies.

A COPY OF THE CATHEDRAL

Press reports from all over the world are carrying news of the illness of Pope John XXIII. Speculation is widespread that the Holy Father has a malignancy involving the stomach.

A reliable source in the Vatican had stated that the Holy Father was subject to good and bad days with sedatives and blood transfusions required occasionally. The latest report from the Vatican newspaper L'Osservatore Romuno revealed that a constant watch is being kept on the Holy Father. Throughout the world special prayers are being asked for and many who are not Catholics share the concern of the Church for His Holiness. His Grace the Archbishop has directed that in all Masses the "Oratio imperata" be added after the Collect, Secret and Post-Communion prayers. The prayer is to be taken from the Mass for the Pope. This prayer will remain in the Mass for the duration of the Holy Father's illness. His Grace has also requested that the faithful earnestly pray for the speedy recovery of His Holiness. A short traditional prayer or the Pope is: Let us pray for our Holy Father Pope John XXIII, may the Lord preserve him and give him life and make him blessed upon the earth and deliver him not to the will of his enemies.

Last Year's Mission Contributions Rome: World-wide contributions to Catholic mission work given through the Society for the Propagation of the Faith in 1962 come to a total of £A1 1,292,300 — an increase of EA421,650 over the previous year. These figures were made public here by the Sacred Congregation for the Propagation of the Faith in connection with the annual general meeting of national directors and members of the supreme councils of the pontifical mission aid societies. Fides, news agency of the congregation, said that despite the gain of close to half a million pounds in c ontributions, the Supreme Council of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith was able to grant only 765 out of 936 requests for special mission help. It said that even in the cases where aid was given, it averaged only 37.61 per cent of the amount requested. The collection of nearly £A11.3 million is a worldwide figure. It does not include aid given through missionary orders or individual missionaries. The latest available statistics for U.S. Protestant contributions to foreign mission work show a total contribution of £. A38.8 million given through 44 American Protestant bodies. Fides said that despite the fact that "much greater contributions are needed," the increase in 1962 giving enabled the Supreme Council of the Society for the Propagation of the Faith to "give extra help to very important activities." Among the mission activities aided, it said, was the Society of St. Peter Apostle for the Native Clergy. (Continued on Back Page)

Clergy Conference • Clergy of the metropolitan area will meet for a clergy conference in the Chapter Hall, Victoriasq., on Friday, June 7. The conference commences at 10 a.m.

Adult Confirmation • The Sacrament of Confirmation will be conferred on adults in St. Mary's Cathedral on Friday, June 9, at 7.15 p.m. Intending recipients of the Sacrament should be present at the Cathedral at 7 p.m. It is also required that they possess a Confirmation Card duly stamped and signed by their parish priest. Persons not in possession of such a card cannot receive the Sacrament on this occasion.

COMBINED PRAYER AT NOLLAMARA

As a result of meeting constantly at the N ollamara State School for religious instruction, Ministers of various Churches suggested to Father R. Kelly, parish priest of Our Lady of Lourdes, Nollamara, that he show them the Catholic form of worship, the Moss, and that they pray for Christian Unity. Last Monday evening, four ministers with about a hundred of their congregations attended Mass at the parish church celebrated by Father Kelly. A commentary on the Mass was given by Father C. Stinson of Osborne Park. There were also about two hundred of Nollamara's parishioners at the iNiNss. The ministers at the Mass were Revs. S. Threlfall of Nollamara and Seston of Tuart Hill (Anglican), Rev. B. McKane of Yokine-Nollamara (Presbyterian) and Rev. B. Smith of Nollamara ( Congregational).

After the Mass, the guests were given supper and Revs. S. Threlfall and B. McKane thanked Father Kelly for giving them the opportunity to come to his church to pray for Christian Unity. They also expressed deep concern over the reports of the health of the Holy Father and assured that they and their congregations would be praying for him. Father Stinson said afterwards that he was .nost impressed by the spirit of prayer and the sincerity of the visitors.

which is intrinsically evil. Rather, most people are subject to the temptation of choosing the better instead of the best, fitting in with the

average rather than with the creative minoirty.

In the parable of the talents in the Gospel, some were given five talents, others two, and others one; all were asked to trade with them. These need not be understood only in terms of talents of money, but even as capacities, or gifts of nature. The man who received five talents made another five; the man who received t wo made another two, each one returning 100 per cent on gifts God gave him. He who received the one talent, however, did nothing with it. The two-talent man is the average man, not very conscious of superiority over the great mass of his fellow creatures, not claiming a right to the five talents, nor linking himself with those who have only one. But he who received the one, feeling that it was below even the average man, did not attempt to make any returns on his gift. He may have justified himself on the ground that it was so little, it was not worth bothering with—"Well, I am doing nothing wrong." But he forgot that gifts are forfeited by disuse, as the Lord said to him: "Take his talent away." In the parable, he tried to excuse his indolence on the ground that the master was hard and too exacting. It could sometimes be that those who receive small gifts are apt to be depressed by their insignificance and to consider them valueless, and give up the effort of enriching and increasing them. The real point of the parable seems to be that he actually played the part of the idler, just because he was the man who might be thought to be the most excusable. But negligence is inexcusable, and he is condemned for being unprofitable, for he advanced neither his master's interests, nor his own, which were bound up with one another. It is a very fearful thought that not for any crime or offence against the common laws of God and man is he condemned, but just simply for idleness and omission of duty. Spiritual indolence and the refusal of a man to better himself spiritually can be reckoned as serious a fault as active wickedness, and meet with similar judgment. The ground of Divine rewards are in the service r endered, and not in the work itself. Thus, they who produce great results will not be honoured more than those people who produce less striking results. The poor, simple, uneducated people with one talent who are equally faithful with smaller gifts. will receive the same reward. It is not the ownership of talents that determines the judgment, but rather the enrichment of any talent that one possesses. Because one cannot do much, one is not excused from doing little. Condemnation awaits the man who refuses to help because he could not lead. The miserable fear of being mediocre cripples good work and the great reward. What is not increased, decreases. The man who improves his gifts. however small, will surely obtain the Kingdom of God. Only what we use becomes crystallised into character. To do no harm is praise fit for a stone, but not for a man.

THE PERIL OF THE U BEST SECOND VERY FEW ever choose that **

RECORD

PON crossing the Italian frontier along the idyllic Lake Maggiore, we were greeted by a procession of 11 little Fiat

600s, which are to Italy what the bush flies are to Australia.

They passed us, turned up a side street, came around another side street the opposite way, went off somewhere else, and then came back and passed us again. We were faintly astonished; we knew that the Italians were always pro -British, just as the better -educated British have always had a great admiration for Italian culture, if not for individual Italians. But ,having slunk across the frontier practically incognito, we were not expecting a formal reception. The two leading cars (if one can call mechanical mice "cars!") had public address sytems which burst into incomprehensible blooping whenever they passed us. The language could have been Italian, English or ancient Aramic, because all p ublic address systems throughout the world sound exactly the same. We were uncertain whether to incline our head like royalty, or to ignore the whole thing as un-British, when one of the cars was forced to slow down to something less than the speed of light and we were able to decipher the placard in the rear window. The honours were not for us but for the Italian voter —the general elections were only a few days away. The cars were not the only strange method of electioneering—every town and village had a series of banners slung right across the s treets, "Vota Commie nista!" "Democrazia Christiana!" "Vota PSI.!" etc. They often merely had initials which were particularly baffling, because the first and third initials were usually "P" for "Partito"" and "I" for "Italiano," the significant difference being in the second initial—P.C.I. being Communists, P.S.I. being Socialists. P.L.I. being Liberals. and so on. 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 PROPAGANDA "SWIM" 1111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111111 IN the larger cities, there were even illuminated street signs (exactly like those in front of garages). As for posters, in every town centre there w ere special hoarclings erected where all the parties showed their poste's side by side: the pavements were strewn ankle - deep with dodgers. which swirled up in eddies c: wind head-high so that one had the illusion of swimming through propaganda. How the endless repetition of "Vote for Blank" really helps the Italian voter to understand the issues, it is difficult to see, but film perhaps the Italian poli.ticians — as in some otlic.v countries it is more prudent not to name — don't want the Italian people to understand the issues of the election. The cleverest poster of the election was one issued by the Christian Democrats which showed Stalin and Hitler sid0 by side with the words "No More Dictators." Since the Communists have been busy Stalin themselves, the poster was unanswerable.

The first is that the Italians are idle. Perhaps this is because foreigners see men hanging about during the long midday break between 12 and 3. This fantastic siesta system means that the working day ends for shop workers at 9 p.m. with an 8 a.m. start. Small cafes, run usually by families, do not close for midday but remain open from 8 a.m. to midnight 364 days a year—the only holiday they get is the one holiday that everybody gets. This is the really great holy day of the Italian year, namely the First of May, which just hows how far the Communist influence has gone. The shop workers are the worst off as far as leisure is concerned, as they are are everywhere, but all Italians seem to work very long hours. The other legend is that Italy is a land of music. It is true that Italians often sing at their work, but the idea that every town has an opera house packed tight every evening is a pious memory, even if it were ever true. Milan is the only city which we struck that had opera several times a week. At Venice there were five ballet performances and four of opera in the entire month of May; In Rome, there was only one opera, the unknown "Figlia de Juno," playing two nights a week with ballet on one other night; at Parma, the opera house ran operetta for two nights a week. Compare this with the unmusical Londoners (another legend) who rejoice in two permanent companies giving opera every night and usually a visiting company at another theatre.

Today Milan leads Italy in prosperity and it is also the most important centre in organising t h e Common Market. The Italy of the future is b eing manufactured in Milan and a good example of what the Milanese can do is to be found to the south of the city where the Autostrada de Sole starts.

came a learned and holy bishop. One of his first tasks was to restore doctrinal unity to the Church, which he attempted to do by decreeing a uniform orthodox worship in all the churches in his city. The Empress would have nothing of it and demanded that the Basilica of St. Thecla, then called "the new basilica," we reserved for the Arians.

P all started in the 374 when Bishop Auxentius of Milan died. The deceased bishop had been an Arian. a defender of the heretical sect which was also favoured by the imperial court under the Empress Regent Justina. But the Council of Nicea had condemned Arianism, and t he populace, which had a lot to say about the election of bishops in those days, was hotly divided between Arians and orthodox Catholics over who would be the next bishop. A young Roman lawyer, Ambrose, had rece itly been appointed Prefect of Milan, and it fell within his duties t o settle the dispute. Much to his dismay, the as yet unbaptised Ambrose saw the favour of the populace fall upon himself as Bishop of Milan. His conversion was quick and effective, as history tells the story, for he be-

Bishop Ambrose 's answer was to stage a kind of sitdown strike within the basilica and dare the Empress' soldiers to dislodge him. This move became doubly embarrassing for the Empress when the populace rallied to the Bishop's support and sat it out with him, singing psalms and listening to his fiery oratory inveighing against her. Bishop and faithful remained in the church for clays. Even the soldiers sent by the Empress joined in. Before it was over, the Empress was happy to forget the whole affair. Arianism was defeated in Milan, and from that. time it. ceased to be the Imperial City and became, as it is called today, the Arnbrosian City. The ruins of the Basilica of St. Thecla are now uncovered in the great cathedral square directly in front of the present basilica.

FROM ROME

T.. TAKES LITTLE to start Roman leader -.writers or speechmakers waxing rhetorical about Rome

as the • "cradle of civilisation"—and one's tolerance of this propaganda is not assisted by the

traffic problems, the shortcomings of the public trans-pert system and the widespread enjoyment of noise for the sake of noise. Similar claims are made for Rome as the cradle of Christianity — although Bethlehem must surely be worthy of consideration. In ref.'4ction, one thinks of the predominance of women over men in the churches, Cr the lack of lay initiative. However, there is truth in both claims, even though they bore after repetition. Rome has such a long history of close contact. with the Church that its ctitizens do feel a special familiarity with it. Only in Rome is .a tras which arrives after a long delay greeted by: "A bus passes here every time a Pope dies." This familiarity sometimes shocks visitors when they go to church and see how very much at home Romans are in God's house. One reason for this may be that even outside the churches Romans live in the constant company of memories of, and the presence of, the Church for it

Perhaps in the future the city will become so large that the special character of Roman popular Catholicism will be lost.

carry on like "Christians." At times even the devil is referred to as a "povero christiano," so it can be seen how catholic Romans are in their sympathies. It is easy enough to criticise such attitudes, but as Mauriac said, the Church does not consist of only those who can see God at the end of a syllogism. The religion of the old and poor quarters of Rome can approach blasphemy at times; it does mix myth and his-

So what does Everyman have to lose? He could lose his job. This is not a small thing to lose, even if the job isn't paying as much as it might. It would mean that time would begin to hang heavy on his hands anti the bills would begin . to pile up. It would mean that his wife, and also the children if they are a little older, would keep glacing at him out of the corners of their eyes, wondering with love as to how he was taking it. In time these looks of concern would become so many accusations: "Why don't you do something about it?“ It would mean to him that. he wasn't doing his real job of taking care of them.

* MANY Romans believe that being born in the city ensures entry info heaven. Convinced of their special status, they telescope the distance be tween heaven and earth treating God and the saints as members of their family. This ingenuous approach results in immediacy and spontaneity, but God and the saints, being members of the family, are not saved from satire, invective and parody. Popular religion, although lecking in respect, is full of warmth. In the poorer cuarters of Rome, "christian" is commonly used as a synonym for "persons," "individual," or "ma n," while well-behaved, intelligent animals are said to

Plaques * INEVITABLY Marian devation has a large role in any account of popular Roman piety. There can hardly be an image of the Madonna in the city which is hot surrounded by exvoto plaques. Once these were confined to the walls of sanctuaries, where it was believed special graces had been granted, but now it is sufficient t hat an image of a Madonna be attached to a wall and all around small marble squares begin to spread on either side of it. Before its removal some years ago, there was a band of ex-votos 20 feet broad and 600 feet, long along one of the Roman walls, which had become an improvised church in the open with kneelers, lights and, of selling people couse, cendles. Now the votive tablets can be seen in the outer suburbs, especially along the .walls of convents, because for a small offering

BUT the majority of the inscriptions concern affairs of the heart and are somewhat like the con aeapondence columns of women's magazines. "Little Madonna," one writes, "ensure that I marry Franco." Another asks the Madonna to ensure that Tullio will always love her. Yet another asks the Madonna to prevent the departure of Cesare. Even the familiar sign of the heart. pierced by an arrow, whose traditional place is a tree in a park, is folind on the tablets near the image of the Madonna. Under the heart., the arrow, t he initials, there is one word, "Proteggici"—Protect us." There are inscriptions by men, "Make Liliana return:" and inscriptions by couples, "We beg you to help us so t hat. our loae lives eternally. Claudia and Maurisiez." But the majority of the messages are from single girls and are a guide to the romeos of the district. Near the same Madonna one finds three invocations-"Little Madonna, ensure t hat. I marry .Franco," "Maria, make Franco love "Madonna, always," me make Franco return," and one suspects that all three appeals concern the same Franco.

Something like this is the nightmare in back ef Everyman's mind. But it is more than a nightmare tt about ten million husbands and fathers in the United States today. It is a chronic, horrible reality to them. These are the heads of families of between forty and fifty million Americans. who have no work and ra present hope of it. These are the older workers displaced by automation. the younger unskilled workers unable to get a start, ii t he men from the racial minorities who are the last te be hired and the first to be fired. These are the workers left behind when a factory has moved out of town. These are unemployed coalminers. small farmers and, the most neglected of all, the migratory farm labourers.

VICTIMS

CHANGE

THEY are the victims of a rapidly changing and complex economic structure. It is not enough to casually dismiss them with the phrase: "If any man really wants work. he can always find a job." Supposing you had some of their handicaps, would you be able In find and hold a job?

you can't get a job. Why? Because you are tia wrong colour. Whatever you are, you are not white You can't get a job. Why? Because you are the Wrong age. You are too old. You are over forty. You can't get a job. Why? Because you don't have enough education or training. You were a drop-out from an unrealistic educational system. You can't get a job. Why? Because basically you are useless to society. Try putting those ingredients into your pipe and smoking on them for a while. Then the feeling of despondency and hopelessness that creeps into the marrow of the lives of these ten million Americans becomes more understandable. They need help—the help of our prayers that God. will give them the strength to persevere despite the deadening emptiness of their days. They need justice that would come to them in the form of realistic educational and training programmes. If they have lost all hope and self-respect. they need our constant charity. Most of all. they need to be treated as human beings with what Pope John called "the right to life, to bodily integrity and to the means which are necessary and suitable for the propel development of life."

RECORD

Two Local Sisters in E.S. Ceremony

The general meeting of the Catholic Chemists' Guild of WA. was held in the main hall of the All Saints' Memorial Centre, on Thursday, May 23. Attendance was excellent with 60 Catholic chemists and apprentices present and apologies from a further 7 members. Under the general business discussed the Master Mr j. O'Hara drew members attention to the fact that one of our active members Mr. K. Vale, and his wife had died recently as the result of a traffic accident in Italy. A Mass for the repose of their souls had been said. Mr. O'Hara then outlined partithe aims of the guild cularly for the benefit of the apprentices present for the first time. These aims are:1. To seek holiness and truth in all things. 2. To inspire its members to apply Catholic moral principles to the practice of pharmacy. This guild complies with the first aim through its annual general Communion, by prayers and by utilising the services of the Chaplain Fr. Farmer, S.J. Discussion arose concerning the time for the annual Communion and it was decided that September would be better for attendance than early December as at present In order to follow our second aim the Master stated that is necessary to have a grounding in moral principles together with an appreciation and knowledge of the practice of pharmacy. He said "We must realise that pharmacy is not only a business, but also a profession whereby we assist in the treatment of illness and disorders of many kinds." ln pursuit of this "backthis knowledge" ground Guild has been fortunate enough to be able to arrange lectures and discussions with various guest speakers who have been generous enough to devote time and energy to the furthering of our knowledge. Some discussions followed on future meetings however nothing final was decided. The meeting was closed with the final prayer.

Specialist The Master then welcomed the guest speaker, one of Perth's leading specialist in women's disorders. He opened his address by questing questions on proVems which the chemist sleets in every day practice Olpharmacy and were within

the scope ot his specialisation. The first question asked concerned problems assowith post-natal ciated subject This depression. aroused much interest and many espects of this matter were made clear. Those of wide public interest could be summed up as follows. • This problem is far less common today than it was 20 years ago. • Although serious when found, modern techniques facilities, hospital better better informed and trained personal using newer medicaments and equipment have r educed the incidence, improved the number who recover and the rate at which they recover. • Pregnancy is not the sole cause of a woman having a mental breakdown after the birth of a child. It is more likely the crisis which precipitates a condition which has been building up for many years. • If a woman has a breakdown after the birth of a child it does not mean that she will break-down after every subsequent child birth. • Correct and accurate education of the mother together with a minimum of mental and physical strain goes far in preventing postnatal break-downs.

Good Advice • To this end mothers should listen to their medical practitioner and follow his directions. They should not have to listen to nor be case to the subjected histories of difficulties faced friends, relatives or by neighbours. • Feeding problems should be ironed out quickly and smoothly. If the mother is unable to breast-feed her infant she should not feel; nor be made to feel inadequate or that she is failing her child. Far better to feed the baby artificially with reliable milk substitutes and let everyone sleep at night and keep the whole household happy, than to continue punishing herself and everyone else through misplaced feelings of inadequacy.

• Misguided sterilization of mothers is not the answer to mothers who break-down after childbirth. This has been shown in the fact that they have more break-downs for other reasons. Many other topics were covered by the speaker including certain aspects of infertility and what can now be done in some of these cases. Also some aspects of what governs the size of families and discussion of the action of some hormonal medicaments available today. The evening closed with a vote of thanks to the speaker proposed by Mr. F. Burke. A light supper was then served.

The South Vietnamese government of President Ngo dinh Diem has forbidden the flying of any flag —religious or other—except the national flag of the Republic of Vietnam. The ban was 'not published, but was apparently communicated privately to leaders of various religious groups. Coming almost on the eve of the festival of Buddha's birthday, the order caused resentment among Vietnamese Buddhists. They usually fly the multi-coloured Buddhist flag on festive occasions. In Hue, former imperial capital, the ban seems to have been responsible for a demonstration leading to disturbances in which seven people were killed, according to the official announcement. Buddhists allege a higher number of deaths. Government sources are reticent. The ban affects Catholics also. They have been accustomed to fly the papal colours of yellow and white and Our Lady's colours of blue and white on feast days, during processions and whenever a bishop visits the parish. The display of flags inside churches and temples was not banned. Buddhists in Saigon are reportedly appealing to President Ngo dinh Diem to revoke the ban on flags and compensate the families of those killed in the Hue incidents.

No Doubts On "Pieta"

The president and vicepresident of the 1964 New York World's Fair assured a press conference in Rome that IVIichelangelo's Pieta will go to New York, contrary to reports carried in the Italian press. Robert Moses and Charles Poletti, fair president and vice-president, held a press conference after an audience with the Holy Father. The Pontiff turned down the officials' invitation to visit the fair because it would be too long a trip. The fair officials also visited A mlet c; Cardinal Cicognani, Papal Secretary of State. They said that they did not know how or when the Pieta would be shipped, but that they were assured that the statue would be in New York for the fair opening on April 22, 1964.

Cut Out The Speeches

All West German dioceses have issued a joint directive which says that for Christians June 11 "should not be a day for speeches, but rather a day for meditation and prayer." June 17 has been observed since 1954 as a public holiday in West Germany to commemorate an abortive revolt in East Germany in 1953. Demonstrations by workers in East Berlin against increased work quotas on June 16, 1953, erupted into an anti-communist riot on June 17 by 20,000 to 50,000 people and became a general strike involving about 200,000 in East Germany. "In one part of Germany," the directive said, "State authority is so directed and society so formed as to bring about the death of religion and the victory of atheism." In the other part, it continued, the continual pursuit of a better standard of living often threatens piety.

The Cardinal pointed out that, under the Evian agreements of March, 1962, which ended the eight-year conflict in Algeria, misdemeanours and crimes committed by Algerians in the name of Algeria's National Liberation Front (F.L.N.) are covered by amnesty, but acts committed by supporters of continued French rule in Algeria are not.

OVER

LEGISLATURE'S OF

B US BILL.

Protesting what they took to be unfair discrimination in the killing of the bill which would permit nonpublic school pupils to ride t axpaid school buses, the parents demonstrated spontaneously in more than 30 different towns. There were no incidents during the enrolling of hundreds of children from parochial schools into public schools, Nearly all the demonstrators seemed concerned with preserving a good image of themselves as Catholics and citizens. The parents' movement began May 2 in the tiny allCatholic community of St. Martin in central Missouri. It can be traced there to the conviction of one man— a 35-year-old engineer and f ather of eight who believed that the State legislature was going to sherve the school bus bill and the time was ripe for protest. "We had talked for years about pulling our Children out of school all at one time and enrolling them in public schools," said the man who asked that his identity be kept secret to protect his job.

The St. Martin protest bears examination because it has elements that were common in most of the others: • Demonstrations in general were held only in heavily Catholic communities. There were no protests in heavily Protestant areas, for example, the Diocese of

The unplanned nature of the demonstration angered a ranking Baptisc minister who sought to have them stopped by clerical pressure. He is Dr. Stanley I. Stuber of Jefferson City, Mo., executive director of the Missouri Council of Churches ( Protestant) and the organizer of the principal gorup which fought the bus bill in the legislature. Stuber first asked Cardinal Ritter to stop the demonstrations. He later sent telegrams to priests throughout the state urging them to order the protests stopped.

Just Waiting "Everybody just was waiting for someone to come along and pull the string," he told an interviewer. "All at once I began to realise that if anyone pulled the ttring—anyone at all—the thing just might go Statewide." The engineer and other parents—keeping their intentions secret—began their planning four days before the Judiciary Committee of the Missouri House killed the bill in a secret vote. On May 2—the day after the bill's death—when two public school buses from the nearby Centertown Public High School rolled into St. Martin, they were met by many parents and 75 of the 150 pupils from St. Martirilp Catholic school. The demonstrators rode the buses to Centertown public school, swelling that school's enrolment to 225. The St. Martin's children remained for three days, May 2, 3 and 6. By the time the St: Martin's parents called off their demonstration, it had spread through Cole and Marie Counties; brought the complete closure of the public school at Osage Bend; resulted in enrolment —for the September term—of some 3,000 children from a dozen communities in Franklin and Washington Counties; and moved toward metropolitan St. Louis, putting some 600 pupils in public schools in Florissant, Berkeley, Hazelwood and Ferguson.

"We don't want to march down to the public school like a bunch of stupid hunger marchers," said an other. Generally, the parents agreed to carry no signs in the beginning, It was only t oward the end of the demonstrations that "professional organisers" from Citizens for Educational Freedom—caught off-guard earlier like everyone else—painted signs bearing slogans such as: "Give us transportation or refund our school taxes." • While summary defeat of the bus measure by a secret vote was the spark that touched things off, it did not appear to be only the bus issue that irritated parents.

One of the commissions which prepared the material for the Bishops to consider in the Council. Still at work during the' recess this co-ordinating commission has done much work towards simplifying the number of subjects for the next session. f ramework of an otherwise credible report. It is no secret that the favourite target of the Second Vatican Council in some sectors of the press has been Alfredo Cardinal Ottaviani, Secretary of the Sacred Congregation of the Holy Office. His office and its history make him a natural "villain." In a spirit of fair play and in keeping with the best journalistic traditions — while not presuming to elect ourselves as the Cardinal's defender — we have invited the Cardinal to speak for himself. To this we shall add observations from our personal experience in the hope of setting the record straight after several misleading reports. It was reported on the eve of the council that Cardinal Ottaviani, together with Ernesto Cardinal Ruffini, Archbishop of Palermo, and Giuseppe Cardinal Sin. Archbishop of Genoa, would be the leaders. of the "Integralists," among whom would be numbered nearly every bishop in Italy and Spain and a majority of the prelates from the United States and Latin America. The record of the first session of the council. both official and unofficial, has shown that this bit of crystal-balling misfired. It was reported that Pope John succeeded in calling the Second Vatican Council in spite of the internal opposition hidden behind the outward acquiescence of the late Domenico Cardinal Tardini, former Papal Secretary of State. To this it was added that "they say" that Cardinal Tardini died o f chagrin at being unable t o change the Pope's mind.

Immediate That statement not only demeans the characters of the t au persons involved.

dence indicates that Cardinal Tardini died from zeal instead from frustration which — to anyone who knew him even half well—is regarded as extremely improbable. The history of Cardinal Tardini's career bears ample indication that he had survived much more frustration before the reign of Pope John. It was reported that a new. council was the last thing in the world that the Vatican officials desired,

I nterviews In gathering material for the series of articles which the N.C.W.C. News Service published immediately following the first anouncement of the council, I interviewed at least a dozen key figures of the Church's central administration. There was no indication from them of opposition to the council at that time. On the contrary, each one without exception was eager to discuss the matters which needed reform and renewal. It was reported that Monsignor Fausto Vallainc, the director of the council press office, was a Vatican clerk ( which he never has been and that he distributed one page bulletins. This was rarely done. Perhaps two out of 41 bulletins , were of ohly one page. It was reported that, despite complaints from the press, the council press office communique was often written in advance of the news it was reporting— sometimes the evening before—and that it dealt only in generalities. I myself was directly engaged in composing the c ommuniques. , No "news" was ever written in advance. The various language desks had nothing in advance but the roster of speakers a n d invariably that had to be revised at

council Fathers broke into applause at Cardinal Alfrink's action. Then, it was reported, Cardinal Ottaviani stayed away from the council for two weeks, the wording indicating_ he was sulking. To this. Cardinal Ottaviani himself replied: "It is not true that the microphone went dead. Cardinal Alfrink did ring the bell and tell me that I had spoken beyond ten minutes, but he was polite in doing so. He said: 'Excuse me, Your Eminence, etc.' This was in the early days of the council and the Cardinal (Alfrink did not know that the tenminute limit did not apply to cardinals. When this was called to his attention after the meeting, he came to me and apologised." Several bishops told me that the applause was not general. It was localised, one said, down at the "junic::' end of the galleries." An official of the Holy Office, who sees Cardinal Ottaviani every day, suggested that his absence from the council hall following the incident could

By Mgr. JAMES I. TUCEK

be explained by the fact that he- had already said all he- had to say on the matter at hand. He did, in fact, return to the council hall when a new item came up for discussion. It was reported that Cardinal Ottaviani had asked the Pope to order Father Karl Rahner, S.J., an eminent theologian from Innsbruck. Austria, to leave Rome. Cardinal Ottaviani answered this charge as follows: "This is completely false. The whole matter was completely unknown to me until I heard others speak of it. Neither I nor anyone else in the Holy Office, either directly or indirectly, suggested that Father Rahner should leave Rome. Quite the contrary—twice I invited Father Rahner to address the members of the Preparatory Commission on Theology." It was reported that only "safe" men were chosen as council experts. Cardinal Ottaviani said to this: "It was not like that One did not select this person or that person or another person. An effort was made to find competent experts on a given subject." It was reported—and this may be at the core of many criticisms—that it is against the principles of the H* Office ever to justify its activities. When confronted with this charge, Cardinal Ottaviani said: "I assume you may be talking about one of two things— the Holy Office's condemnation of writings or the Holy Office's reported dismissal of professors. If the Holy Office condemns a book, no explanation is required. The book is its own evidence for its condemnation. Public debate is not the role of the Holy Office. "If it should ever happen that a professor should be dismissed, he himself would know all the reason for the Holy Office's action long before it happened. Once he would know, that is enough. It would even be discourteous to the man, then, to make the matter public.'• Not addressing himself to any particular charge, but speaking about the prob- • lems of the Catholic press in general Cardinal Ottaviani added: "The Holy Office and the Catholic press work towards the same end. Their roles are different, their means are different, but their ultimate end must be the same . . . The Holy Office and the Catholic press are instituted to defend the truth. The Catholic press would demean its function if it concerned itself too much with petty gossip. scandal a n d sensationalism."

_______HE common good requires that civil authorities maintain a careful balance between o-ordinating a n d proc tecting the rights of the citizens, on the one hand, and promoting them, on t he other. It should not happen that certain individuals or social groups derive special advantage from the fact that their rights have received preferprotection. Nor ential should it happen that governments in seeking to protect these rights, become obstacles to their full and free expression. "For this principle must always be retained that State activity in the economic field, no matter what is breadth, no matter how great its influence may be, ought not to be exercised in such a way as to curtail an individual's f reedom of personal intiaave. Rather it should work for the increase of that freedom by the effective protection of the essential human rights of the individual."48 The same principle should inspire the various steps which governments take in order to make it possible for citizens more easily to exercise their rights and fulfil their duties in every sector of social life. * STRUCTURE

PUBLIC AUTHORITY IT IS impossible to determine, once and for all, what is the most suitable form of government, or how civil authorities can most effectively fulfil their respective functions, i.e., the legislative, judicial and executive . functions of the State. In determining the structure and operation of government which a State is to have, great weight has to be given to the existing constitutions and social circumstances of given political communities — circumstances which will vary at different times and in different places. We consider, however, that it is in keeping with human nature that the State should take a form which ethbodies the threefold division of powers corresponding to the three principal functions of public authority. In that type of State, not only the official functions of government but also the mutual relations between citizens and Public officials are set down according to law, which in itself affords certain protection to the citizens both in the enjoyment of their rights and in the fulfilment of their duties. If, however, this political and juridical structure is to Produce t h e advantages Which may be expected of it, public officials must fulfil their duties and meet the Problems which arise in a Way that conforms both to the proper exercise of their functions and the present constitution of the State. This requires that in constantly changing conditions, legislators never forget the norms of morality or constitutional provisions or the requirements of the common good. Moreover, executive authorities must co-ordinate the activities of society with a full knowledge of the law and after a careful consideration of circumstances.

It is also true that the relations of citizens with each other, of citizens and inteimediate groups with public authorities, and finally 01 the public authorities with one another are sometimes so complex and so sensitive that they cannot be regulated by inflexible legal provisions. Such a situation t,herefore demands that the civil authorities have clear ideas about the nature and extent of their functions if they wish to maintain the existing juridical structure in its basic elements and principles, and at the same t ime meet the exigencies of social life, adapting the laws to the needs of modern life and solving new problems.

CATECHISTS WILL GET M The Xaverian Party And Dance DIPLOMAS Change

On Monday evening at 7.30, His Grace the Archbishop will present lay catechists diplomas to 176 lay people at a dedication ceremony in St. Mary's Cathedral. These Lay Ce.,:echists have just completed a ten weeks course in basic catechetics at a Lay Catechists' Training school which was inaugurated in the Archdiocese this year. A weekly two-hour training session was held every Monday evening since March 4. The Sisters of Mercy had offered Our Victoria College, Lady's Square, for the first session of the Training School, and it proved a most suitable and convenient venue. WIDE INTEREST IN COURSE When it was announced that a Training School for Lay Catechists was to be inaugurated and that a diploma was to be awarded to who satisfactorily those met the course requirements, 242 applied to do the course. Of these approximately 210 were present at the first session. One hundred and seventy-six finally completed the course requirements and will be awarded a diploma. THE TRAINING COURSE The aim of the ten weeks course at the Training School was to provide an introduction to the content of the Christian message, emphasising the view of that message which a teacher of religion needs to present today. This part of the course was given by Father J. Nestor, assistant director of Catholic Education. A second section of the course dealt with general methods of teaching. This was given by Father L. Flynn, S.J., P.P., a former teacher in Jesuit schools. The third part of the course covered the special method of teaching religion to young children and was explained by three Sisters of Mercy. There were so many enrolments for this part of the course that the trainees had to be divided into two groups. Father J. Murphy, P.P., and former Inspector of Catholic Education, dealt with the teaching of religion to children of middle and upper primary grades. His main task was to introduce to catechists the new Australian Catechism. Father T. Barden, S.J., former rector of St. Louis' Jesuit School and Headmaster of St. Ignatius' College, Norwood, South Australia, showed a group of High School Catechists how to present religion lessons to High School students. Trainees were required to study the new Australian Catechism and its Teacher's Guide Book for the doctrinal part of the course. For the other sections they were required to plan and write out a religion lesson each week for whichever age group they wished to teach.

teach in the name of their A rchbishop is called a Lay Catechists' Diploma Grade I. Catechists will be invited to do two further ten weekscourses within the next few years. At the end of the second training course they will receive a Diploma Grade II and at the -end of the third and final training course they will receive a Diploma Grade III, which will mark their graduation from the Training School. Not all of the catechists teach religion in State Schools. Some do so at weekend and supplementary classes. Some instruct children in the catechists' homes. This is the first time that such recognition has been formally given to lay people in the Archdiocese. • CATECHISTS are requested to occupy the places reserved for them in the front benches of the Cathedral. Catechists' names will be placed on the benches, and they will be arranged in alphabetical order. All are requested to be in their places at 7.15 p.m. The ceremony commences at 7.30. People who would like to enrol for work as Lay Catechists are invited to write to or ring Father J. Nestor at the Catholic Education Office, 77 St. George's Terrace, Perth.

Quotable

A significant quotation from the Pope's encyclical "Peace on Earth". . . ERROR: "One must never confuse error and the person who errs, not even when there is a question of error or inadequate knowledge of truth in the moral or religious field. The person who errs is always and above all a human being, and he retains in every case his dignity as a human person. And he must always be regarded and treated in accordance with that lofty dignity."

Of Day

No Reunion This Weekend

For the first time in many years the St. Ildephonsus' College Old Boys reunion will not be held on the coming long weekend. Many ex-students of the College have been enquiring of the committee about the function and they want to inform them that the reunion is definitely not on, due to circumstances outside their control. Members of the association are reminded to keep the weekend of July20-21 free for the Golden Jubilee celebrations at New Norcia. This will commemorate the fifty years' work of the Marist Brothers in this State, as well as the college jubilee.

Irish Club members are advised that the step dancing competition announced as being held on Sunday, June 2, will now take place the following Sunday, June 9, at the R.S.L. Hall, Shenton Park. This will enable families of competitors who may be going away for the long weekend to be present when the competition is held.

TWO VERY SUCCESSFUL HOLY NAME MEETINGS WERE CONDUCTED BY THE MAYLANDS AND SPEARWOOD BRANCHES THIS MONTH. The Maylands meeting took the form of a Communion Breakfast at which the Diocesan Union was represented by Messrs. M. Foley and T. Hadfield. The Branch was particularly fortunate to nave His Lordship Bishop McKeon as the guest speaker. The Bishop spoke at length on the Ecumenical Council in Rome; how it was convened and what had been achieved so far. . His Lordship gave a graphic description of the opening ceremony in which more than 2,400 Cardinals, A rchbishops and Bishops t ook part. He outlined how this large number had been organised into a smoothworking council despite the short time allowed for organisation. Diocesan Union secretary Mark Foley thanked the Maylands branch for their past support and urged 'hem to make every effort

COMO (BOYS) The great virtue of charity was illustrated in this week's Gospel and the group resolution centred around this. The group resolved that each would do some small thing during the week that they have previously disliked doing. In addition, all leaders were asked to say a special and prayer each night morning for the Pope. Recent elections in the branch resulted in the following appointments: President, Jim Carr; vice-president, Barry Tilbury; secretary, Peter Pennings; treasurer, Ian MacLean; publicity officer, Terry MacLean; census-keeper, Kevin Sale. Como chalked up its third football victory for the season when it beat East Victoria Park at Melville last Sunday.

A very large number of members attended the evening at St. Mary's Cathedral where special seats had been reserved for the f,eague. The week of activity war to commemorate the Silver Jubilee of the establishment of the Catholic Women's League in the Archdiocese.

On Wednesday May 22, Mrs. Jolley welcomed His Grace the Archbishop to the 25th Annual Conference of the League. In his address to the members, His Grace said that the Catholic Women's League fulfilled all the commissions that he had requested of them at their first meeting and that they had been true representati-

Yes of Catholic women in his archdiocese. His Grace said that their works for charities had been unending and no call to them had gone unheeded. He thanked the members of the League for the generous cheque, this year for £180, which they made each , 7 -ear towards the upkeep of St. Charles Seminary. His Grace concluded his address by wishing that the League would continue to prosper and grow in numbers during the next twentyfive years. During the afternoon session Father C. McCarthy, C.S.S.R., was introduced by the chaplain to the C.W.L. Monsignor A. Langmead, who gave the women a talk on "Authority and education in the home".

In thanking Father Adeneye on our behalf, Father Hickey appreciated his helping us to gain a better understanding of the problems of our African and Asian neighbours, by his informative talk and answering the many questions put to him. We were also pleased to welcome some Asian students in the parish. A tennis tournament has been arranged with them for next weekend. During general business, it was agreed upon to recommence table tennis on Thursday, June 5. The meeting closed with a prayer followed by a social, games, supper, etc. The International Y.C.W.

MISSION NOTES By Rev. Father W. J. Foley

• AN IMPENDING CRISIS AFTER 1964, Ceylon must rely on its own indigenous Church, since all foreign missionaries are required to leave the country by that date. When this forced exodus takes place, there will be 240 Ceylonese priests to cope with the needs of more than 880,000 Catholics. Nintey per cent of the Catholic schools have been nationalised and survival for those remaining depends on donations, since no school f ees may be charged. Nursing nuns in government hospitals and leprosaria have been asked to leave, despite a shortage of nurses. Those wishing to stay must pay a very high "temporary residence tax." The Faith of the people remains strong. At present t here are about 300 students in the major and 600 in the minor seminaries. But this leaves a gap of several y ears without sufficient clergy and religious to teach and spread the Faith. Much emphasis, therefore. is being placed on the training and using of catechists. • TAIWAN FIVE hundred aborigines witnessed the opening of a church they built during catechumenate. Missionary work among these Wu-Tai aborigines, started ten years ago by a local catechist, was prolonged by language prob-

lems. During this time. trie catechumens carried materials for their church along mountain paths from a place ten hours march away —eloquent proof of their fervour and constancy! BEAUTICIAN APOSTLE SIX years ago, 24-year-old hairdresser Fukiko Murata was baptised Therese and became the first Christian among the 2,000 inhabitants of a small mountain village named Iwaki, in the Takada parish. The baptism brought a from storm of protest Therese's family and from the citizens of Iwaki. Unperturbed, the fiery little convert considered she had not yet done enough. The villagers of Iwaki believe no business enterprise can succeed unless it honours the gods with a prominently displayed Shinto shrine. Despite the risk of a village boycott, which would have ruined her financially, Therese then dismantled the Shinto shrine in her beauty salon and in its place hung a picture of her patroness, St. Therese. Fortunately, Theres e's stand for Christ did not produce a business boycott —instead, the villagers admired the frail young girl's courage and the beauty salon became a beachhead for Christ. vimame

GOD LOVE YOU By Most Rev. Fulton J. Sheen BEGGING for money without first making the givers spiritual is a kind of financial rape. It is seizure without love. Catholics may have never thought of it this but they instinctively rebel against what they call "money sermons.- They are more right than they know. LET them pick up St. Paul. who, like every missionary interested in spreading the Faith, had to take up collections. In his appeal to the faithful of Corinth to help the poor and suffering in Jerusalem, he used the word "grace- seven times. but the word "money" not Once. The whole subject of our fellowship with the Missions was seen as an activity of grace. Grace for him, and for us. is first the Life. Truth and Love in the Trinity; then in Christ. Our Saviour: and finally in us. mediated t he through Church.

PAUL did not say: "Next Sunday there will be a collection for the Propagation of the Faith. Please be generous." He said something like this: "Be devoted to Our Lord, and then you will be devoted to the Missions. If you give yourself to the Lord, you will give what you have; but if you do not love the Sacred Heart, you Will only give grudingly and

out of necessity." You rebel against "money talks" only if the priest has not tried to awaken love of Christ in your souls before asking, or if you do not have any such love in your heart, even if he does appeal in Christ's Name. DID you know that the magazine with the largest Catholic circulation in the United States has as its first purpose that of St. Paul. namely, to make people holy? It knows that they will then be generous to others. Very fittingly, this magazine does not belong to any one Missionary society but to the Holy Father's own Society for the Propagation of the Faith, which aids all missionaries, all societies, all over the world. It never asks anyone to "give" to the Holy Father; it never seeks to help Africa without helping you: it never tries to convert Asia without first making you love Our Lord more. It does speak of "sacrifice,- because sacrifice is pain with love— the giving of something until it hurts because you first love Christ.

Of the five matches played so far this year, the St. Ildephonsus' Hockey Club team have won two, drawn one and lost two. This result is a tremendous improvement on last year, when all games were lost. This year the club is fielding only one team ( again) and in the Reserve 2 grade, but there is a vast difference to the spirit and there are more than 11 keen players, which makes for diiffcult team selection each week. This no doubt has to spurred all players greater heights and it is most encouraging to explayers, too, for once they see the name S.I.C. in the papers as the winning team. New players such as Conway, Kevin David Maher, Gerry O'Sullivan, John Henryon are all making their presence felt and with stalwarts such as John McKernan, Peter Willett, Dave Rushton, Ray Cole and Peter Pullen consistently turning in good games,

It is confidently felt that this year the team will make the finals and with the few extras now avail. able and with several more recruits, the club should be able to field two teams next season.

The best performance of Old Louisians' hockey teams

last Saturday came from the R3 team, which convincingly defeated Old Scotch, who were above them on the premiership table, by four goals. This 5-1 win, following their 3-0 victory of the previous week, shows that this team is approaching top form, and should soon be in the "four." Their goals were scored by Peter Gason (4) and Tony Middleton; and the best were Peter Gason, Bob Nicholls and Mike Adams. • NEEDED WIN The C2 team had a 5-0 win against University. This was a much-needed victory and was more like this Goals teams' true form. came from Peter Fitzpatrick (2), Gus Mengler, Peter Hiatt and Maurice Pavlinovich; and best players were Mike O'Donnell, Maurice Pavlinovich and Tony Lalor. The competition in this

grade is very keen — only three points separating the second and last teams—so success in the next few matches could put this team up with the leaders. The C3 team was defeated by A.S.A., 1-3. However, they are developing into a good combination. Des Heenan's experience is invaluable to the team; Tony Torre is leading them well; and John Toohey and Garry Meink have been prominent players each week. The B1 team had its match against Claremont Teachers postponed due to the holiday period. Of the four games played, they have won three and lost one, but they need to record wins in their next if they are to regain top position.

her real form in the second half by scoring 12 points in great style. The captain of the side, Nola Nowotny, played her usual intelligent game by setling up numerous scoring opportunities for the forwards. She was ably supported by fellow guard Heather Asquith, who showed good form. The girls meet another undefeated side in Highgate next Monday night — this should be a thriller.

Previously Victoria and South Australia had played each other and this year it was decided to make a carnival by inviting the local Y.C.W. players to send a team. From this beginning, it is hoped to make the affair a triennial event, with W.A. as host for 1969.

DENIS CHERRY, Captain

West Australia has a strong side and should give a good account of themselves in the games. Players have been training hard under the direction of coach Ken Heath, who is confident that the side will do well. A final briefing for the team will be held at Marian Lodge on Monday, June 3, after a special Mass and players' tea. Highgate's captain, Denis Cherry will lead the side with Bob-Richmond of Pal-

myra as his deputy. Tha side, in general, shows a good balance of height, weight and pace. Some changes have been made since the announcement of the team owing to players not being able to get leave. Hard-playing backman John Hall of Como has replace' H. Donovan. Father John O'Reilly will travel with the team along with coach Ken Heath, officials Sean O'Sullivan, Dan White and Leo James, who has also been selected as a player.

UNPIDICTED 111SIITS IN Y.C.W. FOOTBALL LAST SUNDAY'S GAMES IN THE Y.C.W. FOOTBALL COMPETITION WERE RETHE FOR MARKABLE NUMBER OF UNPREDICTED RESULTS. Scarborough surprised all by defeating Shenton Park. Palmyra, generally regarded as one of the power teams of the competition, went down convincingly to Bedford Park, and top team Highgate received a bad fright from Leederville. Leederville's performance

was outstanding and they are serving notice on the top teams. East Perth, though going down to Wembley, showed vast improvement and it won't be long before they record their first win. In the other game East Victoria Park faded badly to be defeated by Como. RESULTS Highgate 11-9 d Leedervine 8-5. Wembley 6-15 d East Perth 6-8. Como 7-12 d East Victoria Park 6-8.

Rev. Dr. Rumble M.S.C.

LISTENER, Auburn: Thank you for the booklets you sent me, but the Catholic way is not my way of thinking.

BIBLE AS GOD'S WORD Q.: The Bible is God's Word o us.

R.: How do you know it to be God's Word? It is of little use to say that you feel it to be God's Word, for hundreds of thousands of people don't feel it to be God's word. The truth is that the only guarantee is to be found in the authority of the Catholic Church, which both decided which books were to be included in the Bible and preserved the Bible for us through the thousands of years before the Protestant Reformation was heard of. To reject the authority of the Catholic Church is to cut the ground from under one's own feet as regards reasons for believing the Bible to be the Word of God. D AILY Q.: We

J.M.B., LEURA, asks: Could you explain why Jesus, when only a boy of 12, did not explain to His Mother that He would be staying behind in Jerusalem, andi that therefore there was no need to worry as to His absence (Lk. 2.43) ?

"A GOOD NON-CAT R.: It is precisely from that aspect that you need to ask yourself some questions. Your letter is that of a sinaerly religious man and is evidence of goodness of heart and a generous will. I am sure that it was to such a Alan that Our Lord once said: "Thou art not far from the Kingdom of God." Mk. ;12:34. But a man has a mind as well as a heart and a will: and his mind needs to know the truth. When you say that the Catholic way is not your way of thinking, the problem arises as to whether your way of thinking is right, or whether it is even irriportant that it should be the right way.

the

Church to respond to it? R.: If I say yes to that, I will mean one thing and you will understand quite another. For I am thinking of the Word of God as the revelation of God however it may be made known to us, while I think also of of the Bible as a written book. Also, you are thinking of the Church solely in terms of the individuals comprising it, while I think also of the Church as a living organic body indweIt by the Holy Spirit and sent by Christ with a guaranteed perpetuity and infallibility to teach all nations in His name and with His authority. The Bible as a written book tells us nothing. In itself it is a "dead letter" which cannot speak and say what ,it means. It undoubtedly contains revealed truth which needs authentic interpretation and is not necessarily what each independent reader chooses to think it is. The Word of God for the first Christians was the preaching of the Apostles. Thus St. Paul wrote to the Thessalonians: "You received of us the Word of God by hearing it; and you received it not as the word of man but (as it is indeed) the Word of God." I Thess. 2:13. Remember that this was the first book of the New Testament that was written. No other book of Testament was the New then available for the Then-

salonians to read for themselves. Again, St. Paul bade Timothy: "Hold the form of sound words which thou hast heard of me . . . committed to thy trust by the Holy Ghost who dwelleth in us." 2 Tim. 1:13-14. And it was in the name of the Church, "the pillar and the ground of truth" (Tim. 3: 15) that Timothy was to "preach the Word" and "be instant in season, out of season, reprove, entreat, rebuke in patience and doctrine; for there shall be a time when they will not endure sound doctrine, but according to their own desires will heap up teachers to themselves." 2 Tim. 4:2. All that answers your question. It is the living Catholic the of voice Church, entrusted with the Word and the power of God, which is authorised to teach us, to judge us, to rebuke us when we have been f aithless, to heal us spiritually by all the means of f orgiveness at her disposal when we are repentant; and it is the duty of the members of the Church to hear the Word of God by hearing the Church, responding to it by fidelity to her teachings and precepts. And the Catholic Church, as our God-given teacher, is not subject to the judgment of every independent reader who chooses to take up the Bible, decide for himself what it means, and tell the Church what it ought to , kind of conteach and the duct it ought to prescribe whether in the worship of God or in the living of our individual lives. The Church is to guide her member, not they the Church. That will be enough to think over for now.

R.: The key to this mystery is to be found in the twofold nature of Christ as both divine and human; in the fact that Mary herself had to live by faith rather than by sight, as she did in such a way as to deserve her cousin Elizabeth's tribute: Blessed art thou that hast believed (Lk. 1:45); and in the fact that, according to God's plan, she was to have a special share in the sufferings associated with Christ's redemptive work. "MARY'S ANXIETY" Q.: Had He told her beforehand, it would have spared her so much heartache. R.: It was not God's will that she should be spared that heartache; and although during the 12 years since Simeon's prediction she must often have wondered when it would begin to come true, this incident must have recalled vividly to her mind his words concerning herself: -Thy own soul a sword shall pierce" (Lk. 2:35). "NOT NORMAL CONDUCT" Q.: In ordinary circles, normal boys of 12 are expected to tell their parents when they expect to be absent or late; and it would have been so like the thoughtful boy he must surely have been for Our Lord to do that. R.: If we say that no good, normal boy would have behaved as Our Lord did on this occasion, we can only conclude that Our Lord must have been something more than a normal boy; and He was. But until now He had not behaved and spoken in other than normal ways. Life together at Nazareth would hardly have been possible with Jesus subject to Mary and Joseph, had Our Lord not lived according to the human nature He had received from His Mother, without emphasising His divinity. From that point of view, the words of Isaias 45-15 were fulfilled in Him: "Verily thou art a God that hidest thyself, the God of Israel, the Saviour." But in his providence, by way of exception, Our Lord made use of this occasion to deepen Mary's insight into what she already believed, namely, into His divine origin and nature and redemptive mission. When she said to Him: "Thy father andI have sought thee sorrowing," He replied: "Did you not know that I must be about my Father's business?" manifesting a consciousness of His Divine Sonship and of His Messianic Vocation, and speaking of God as His Father with rights far transcending any that St. Joseph as His earthly foster-father and Mary herself as His human mother could possibly possess. In her humility, Mary quite candidly told St. Luke, who certainly obtained his information about the incident from her, that she did not even then fully grasp the mystery of it all. THE REASON WHY Q.: Could it have been that Our Lord wanted to test her faith in Him? What other real reason could have made Him act so strangely? R.: There was no need to subject Mary's faith in Him to any test. But faith and vision, or even realisation. are very different things. It is certain that Mary did not grasp the full extent and full depth .of all that her unwavering faith in Our Lord involved. Only gradually this dawned on her as the mysteries of Our Lord's character and mission were successively unfolded; and this incident was a first step, in pain and self -surrender. towards the enlightenment Mary would need when the time came for her to share in the actual sufferings of her child Jesus during His passion and death for the redemption of mankind, with the proclamation of complete obedience to His Heavenly Father in the words: "Not My will, but Thine be done." Mary, who pondered all things in her heart, would recall that this was the Heavenly Father Whose claims upon Him He had Sc stressed at the age of 12; and she would be the better prepared for the event.

it is undoubtedly open to misunderstanding. What is certain is that it must be interpreted in accordance with Catholic teaching, as I have explained it. There is no possibility of that teaching being changed. Two Papal utterances make that clear. The first is that of Pope Pius XI, to understand the force of which we must take the setting. In August, 1930, reversing its own decisions of 1908 and 1920, the Anglican Lambeth Conference declared it morally lawful for married people to limit their families by contraceptive practices. The London "Daily Express," August 15, 1930, described this decision as "conceived in fear and born in compromise." On December 31, 1930, Pope Pius XI issued an Encyclical "On Christian Marrige (A.C.T.S., March 30, 1931 , in which he said: "Since, therefore, openly departing from the uninterrupted Christian tradition, some recently have judged it possible to declare another doctrine, the Catholic Church raises her voice in token of her divine ambassadorship and through Our

R.: Our Lord's words were of vital importance. but they have not precisely t he sense you are inclined t o read into them. Q.: Possibly God has placed what may almost be described as a scourge upon the world for the just punishment of sin. R.: The passages you quote have no reference to that, for they predict the price to be paid by those who do follow Him, not the penalties reserved for those who don't. With those Our Lord deals elsewhere, not here. It is true, of course, as St. Paul puts it. that "all have sinned and come short

of the glory of God," or, as Monsignor Knox translates it, "all alike are unworthy of God's praise" i Rom. 3:231. Humanity, whatever trials, difficulties, or calamities may befall it in this world, has every reason to say with the good thief dying on Calvary: "We indeed suffer justly; for we receive the due reward of our deeds." Lk. 23:41. But the passages of scripture you quote are concerned, not with the punishment of the wicked, but with the suffarings those must be prepared to face who abandon wickedness in order to become followers of Christ. DIFFERENT KINDS P EACE,

Q.: Matt. 10:34 says: "Do not think that I came to send 'peace upon earth I came not to send peace, but the sword." R.: Since Our Lord said to His disciples: "Peace I leave with you: my peace I give unto you; not as the world giveth do I give unto you" Jn. 14:27, it should be clear that He is simply stressing that He did not come to give the kind of peace of which the world thinks, namely, peace between man and man. The peace He brings is between God and man, a peace of soul for those who accept Him and consecrate their lives to Him. But He knew that His absolute claims to our allegiance would arouse the world's bitter opposition, an opposition extended to all who acknowledged His claims. The sword of which He therefore, stands speaks, metaphorically for any sufferings Christians may be called upon to endure just for being and living as Christians. FAMILY DISSENSION

Q.: Verses 35 and 36 read: "For I came to set a man at variance against his father, and the daughter against her mother and a man's enemies shall be they of his own household."

T h e second important Papal utterance is that of Pope Pius XII, October 29, 1951. Addressing Italian midwives ("Christian Marriage and Childbirth," A.C. T.S., January 10 1952), he said: "No `indication' or need can change an action that is intrinsically immoral into an action that is moral and lawful. This prescription will hold always, for it is not a mere precept of human authority but the expression of a natural and divine law.

"CATHOLIC DOCTOR," MELBOURNE, asks me to comment on a report published in the Melbourne "Tribune" of April 4, 1963. R.: The report, from Holland, quotes the Dutch Catholic Bishop Bekkers as saying in a TV session that the Catholic Church sympathises with married couples who find the observance of birth control rules hard. Before commenting on that, I had better explain what those rules are. The Catholic Church does not say married people are obliged to have all the children that could possibly result from their marriage. If, however, they want to limit the number of their children, under no circumstances may they use contraceptive practices. The only morally lawful way in God's sight is either by complete abstention from marital relations until another child is welcome, or by abstaining during fertile a n d restricting periods sterile to themselves periods only, when not they but nature itself renders conception unlikely. The Church did not make the law forbidding contraceptives and cannot unmake it. It is the natural moral law established by God and she has no choice but to declare the necessity of observing it. Q.: Does Bishop Bekker's statement indicate t h e possibility of a change on the part of the Church in this matter? R.: The report is a summary and may not do full justice to what he actually said.

THE

Specially Designed Houses For Deaf And Blind Give Confidence "At Peterborough, in Cambridgeshire, work is about to start on what is probably the first housing project of its kind in the world," reported Allan Murray recently in the "New Ideas" programme broadcast weekly in the B.B.C. General Overseas Service. "The main buildings will contain twelve small flats, a guest-house for twelve people and a matron, and a group of workshops—all to be occupied by people who are both deaf and blind. "The site was given by a private donor. And the National Deaf-Blind Helpers League, which launched the scheme, has raised the entire building cost by public subscription. A few weeks ago the building contract, due for completion in about a year's time, was signed by the League's secretary, a man of 58 who has himself enjoyed neither sight nor hearing for the past 25 years. "Describing these homes as the culmination of a lifelong dream, he said they would prove that deaf-blind people are not outcasts, but members of the community who can help themselves.

0 Nomadelfia, an unusual Italian community founded by a priest who once reverted to the lay state that he might carry on his work, may be the model community of the future. A Christo-centric society where there is no possession of private property, no unemployment or no idleness, it is recognised by the Italian goverment as a civic association whose mein. bers "work together in Christian fraternity . . to co-operate in providing for their material and spiritual needs." Noma. delfia ( law-fraternity) was founded by Dom Zneo Saltini, a 63year-old priest who began gathering abandoned children t ogether in the early 1930's. Since its inception, 2,400 individuals have passed through Nomadelfia. Above ( left) Dom Zeno distributes the Holy Eucharist during a Mass offered for field workers from the back of a truck.

School Hobby

The First Bicycle "Scotland honours inventors like Watt, McAdam and Dunlop, yet the name of Kirkpatrick Macmillan is frequently forgotten." This was recently pointed out in a BBC programme by Mr. Gordon Irving. This colourful blacksmith, who lived in the peaceful hamlet of Keir not far from the Maxwellton famous braes of "Annie Laurie." was the man who thought of putting pedals on the old hobby-horse and giving the world the bicycle which millions ride today. A tall, well-built man, Macmillan was respected in the district, said Irving, but village Opinion of his invention was indicated by his nickname, "Daft Pate." Macmillan's faith in it was unshaken and one June evening in 1842 he set off to Prove its worth by riding the seventy-odd miles to Glasgow over stony roads, staying one night on the way. "Word of his progress flew faster than modern t elevision signals," said Irving. "Cottagers grabbed t heir children and pulled t hem indoors. Young lovers out for moonlit walks ran in fear as the apparition on " heels moved along the r oads, his velocipede creaking and rattling on the s cones, with a horse's head c arved in wood at the front of the machine." Excitement mounted as he entered Glasgow by the C:orbals where, riding along the pavement, hq had the rusfortune to knbck down P. child. The child, however, v:as unhurt and Macmillan, charged with the offence,

was fined only five shillings. The magistrate asked for a demonstration of the machine after the court had risen, and was so impressed by the figures-of-eight performed in the courtyard by Daft Pate that he paid him back his fine. Gordon Irving said that he had spoken to people, now dead, who could remember a newspaper headline of the time reporting: "The Devil Arrives in GlasHobby Riding a gow Horse." But Macmillan had ridden peacefully home again and never made any attempt to commercialise his machine. Others took it up and gradually improved it until it became the modern bicycle. The machine made by Macmillan in that country smithy 120 years ago had a wooden bar frame, ironbanded wooden wheels, and was driven by cranks on the rear wheel. These were revolved by swinging rods -operated by horizontally rocking pedals, and the entire contraption weighed 57 pounds. It is uncertain what became of it, but replicas can be seen in the Dumfries Observatory Museum, in the Art Gallery at Glasgow, and in the South Kensington Science Museum. The family tombstone in Old Keir churchyard records that "Pate" died on January 26, 1878.
