Controversy Over Church's Civil Powers In Malta
Price 9d.
LENTEN VISIT
By JOHN A. GREAVES, N.C.W.C. Reporter
LONDON: Archbishop Michael Gonzi of Malta is believed to have asked a high British official that nothing be included in the future c onstitution of Malta that would hamper the Church's spiritual work. The Archbishop flew here from Malta to discuss with government officials the position of the Church in the new constitution being drafted for Britain's Mediterranean colony, scheduled to become independent on May 31. The prelate was invited to the _high level discussioni on Malta by Mr. Duncan Sandys, British Minister for Commonwealth Relations and Colonies. He is a strong critic of Malta's Labour Party, headed by former Prime Miniaer Dom Mintoff, which wants to reduce the civil power of the Church on the island, whose population is 98 per cent Catholic. Civil marriages and divorce are now prohibited on Malta, and the Church's code of canon law has the status of civil law. Mintoff, whose party has been placed under interdict because of an attack on the Catholic bishops three years ago, has warned that Malta "might develop into another Spain or Portugal" unless constitutional safeguards a r e provided. He has said his version of the constitution would prevent a "clerical" State. Archbishop Gonzi has voiced opposition to a number of amendments Mintoff has offered for the proposed constitution, contending that they would affect the Church's liberty. The Church leader was accompanied here by his secretary, Father Joseph Bernard, S.J. Besides conferring with Duncan Sandys, he spoke with Lord Lansdowne, Minister of State for Colonial Affairs, and other British Colonial Office experts. SPIRITUAL MISSION Although no official statement was issued, a member of the Archbishop's entourage said he thought it likely the prelate had asked Mr. Sandys that nothing be included in Malta's constitution that would limit the Church from fulfilling its spiritual mission. Archbishop Gonzi talked in London with Toni Pellegrini, leader of Malta's small Central Christian Workers' Party. Pellegrini said later: "I think the British government is now on the right track. I think they will succeed in,avoiding trouble in Malta." Mintoff a n d Premier Giorgio Borg Olivier of Malta both were here recently to try to impress their views on the British government. which has found it difficult to effect a compromise between the conflicting proposals. Olivier wants speedy independence f o r Malta within the British Corn monwealth. while Mintoff desires full independence
for the island. Pellegrini, on the other hand, says that Malta is not yet ready for independence. POSSIBLE DELAY Some observers believe that because of the controversy and the threat of further trouble, Britain may now delay granting independence to Malta until government leader s think further about the delicate problem. Others say that the split between the Church and the Labour party is tending to obscure the real issue of constitutional settlement, which is economic. The London "Catholic Herald" said: "Mintoff's flirtation with the Iron Curtain and the recent encroachment of unbelief and secularist attitudes upon this most fervent of all Catholic communities hardly inspire confidence. At the same time, one's heart bleeds for Labour party voters, barred as such from the sacraments they hunger for, who cannot see how the island can survive without Mintoff's administrative dynamism." The newspaper said that the only sane course for Britain to adopt is to guarantee adequate economic aid to Malta, thereby easing the tense situation and allowing time for the religious and political issues to be more easily untangled. The alternative, the paper said, would be "another Cyprus."

Apartheid Statement Not Official
ment makes to implement it. On this question he declared:
CAPE TOWN, South Africa: The chairman of the South African Bishops' Conference declared here that a statement by Archbishop P. Whelan, 0.M.I., of Bloemfontein upholding this nation's policy of apartheid — strict race segregation — was a personal one and not the official stand of the Church. The chairman, Archbishop Owen McCann of Cape Town, countered assertions that Archbishop Whelan's statement was made on behalf -of the South African Hierarchy. He said that if Archbishop Whelan had intended making an official statement, it would have first had to approved the by be Bishops' Conference. That body did not discuss it, and therefore it was not an official statement, Archbishop McCann said. Archbishop Denis Hurley, 0.M.I., of Durban, declared that it would be "completely erroneous" to regard Archbishop Whelan's views as the official Church position. He said: "Any report that this is the official attitude of the Church is completely erroneous. Just as when I make my speeches I do not expect my views to be binding on the Church, so Archbishop's Whelan's views are in no way the Church's official attitude." CHURCH'S ATTITUDE Archbishops McCann and Hurley spoke out after South African government agencies, including the republic's information service in New York, had released Archbishop Whelan's statement with the assertion that "the Roman Catholic Church of South Africa today issued a statement clarifying the attitude of the Church towards South Africa's racial policy, apartheid." Archbishop Whelan himself emphasised after releasing his statement that it was not made on behalf of the Bishops' Conference. But he said that the statement was not a purely private expression of his views as Archbishop of
Bloemfontein. He said it was released taking intd account his responsibility to the Church as Director of the Press, Cinema and Radio Department of the Bishops' Conference. He said it was based on the encyclicals of Pope John XXIII and on statements made over the years by the Bishops' Conference. He singled out a 1952 Bishops' statement which said that "the great majority of non-Europeans and particularly Africans, have not yet reached a state of development justifying integration." COMMON KNOWLEDGE Archbishop Whelan said in his statement, issued as an interview, that South African apartheid as a whole has never been officially condemned by the Catholic Church. Then, asked whether there are "items in the present government's policy which could be considered immoral," he replied: "It is common knowledge that. the application of several provisions of our racial legislation involve hardship and injustice— conditions of Bantu urban employment; unreasonable job reservation; restriction of the freedom of the Bantu worker to improve his economic and social position; restriction on the freedom of the Bantu worker to choose his employer, to alternate employment, or to offer his services to the highest bidder; restriction 'on the place of abode which separates members of the same family." But Archbishop Whelan said that the crucial point at issue is whether apartheid is inherently wrong in itself, not the actual laws which the govern-
OBLIGATION -There is no teaching of the Church in opposition t o the idea of a State cornposed of a number of national or racial groups, maintained in their separate and distinct identity by the State of which they form a part. This is clear from the Church's attitude concerning the rights of national minorities, so hotly debated during the first 50 years of this century.
"This has been reiterated recently in Pope John's encyclical Peace on Earth. The Church has often declared that public authorities have an obligation to assist the cultural and racial groups in a pluralistic State in their distinctive development."

BERLIN.—Stefan Cardinal II: szynski of Warsaw said thousands of children "unborn" in Poland as a result of legalised abortion. "For instance, in one Polish city, 8,000 children were born and 8,450 were 'unborn' in the city," the Cardinal said in a pastoral letter read in Catholic churches, reports of which have reached here. "In another city," the Cardinal continued, "1,800 children were born in one of the hospitals. But 1,850 were not born as a result of the application of violence.
'We have seen posters which say, 'Don't have too many children — the next child may rob the rest ot shoes and clothing.' I don't think this is true. If there are five children, the family will get bread—with God's help — for the sixth child. too." Cardinal Wyszynski also said in the pastoral that in Poland "youngsters drink t oo much wine" and "smoke t oo many cigarettes."
LENTEN LAWS RULES OF FASTING AND ABSTINENCE DURING LENT
A BSTINENCE:
1. Everyone in good health who ha reached the age of reason is obliged to abstain To abstain is a serious obligation. 2. All Fridays and Ash Wednesday are days of abstinence. 3. Flesh meat and meat soup are forbidden. Lard and dripping may be used on days of abstinence provided they be used merely as a condiment or seasoning.
F AS1 : 1. Everyone in good health over 21 years of age and under 59, and not engaged in exhausting work, is obliged to fast. This is a serious obligation. Every day of Lent, from Ash Wednesday to midnight on Holy Saturday, is a day of fast. except all Sundays and St. Patrick's Day (March 17). On fast days, those bound to fast are allowed one full meal, that is a meal without any limitation as to quantity, and two smaller meals. At the two smaller meals they may take whatever is necessary to enable them to perform their ordinary duties. The full meal may be taken either in the evening or at midday (A handy way of computing how much food may be taken at the smaller meals is to say that together they should not equal the full meal.) 4 Eating between meals, even fruit and confectionery, breaks the fast. However, a biscuit or some similar small portion of food may be taken with a drink. Liquids do not break the fast (a liquid is anything that is consumed as a drink, e.g. tea, milk, fruit juices, beaten egg, etc.). 6. On days of fast without abstinence, meat is allowed at all meals.
NOTE: (a) The solemnities of marriage (Nuptial Mass, the use of music, etc.) are forbidden until Easter Monday. (b) The Pascal Precept is required to be fulfilled between Ash Wednesday and Trinity Sunday (May 24).

N THIS article, our reflections will touch on emotions nobler the which flooded our soul as the curtain went down on the tragedy of the century.
Perhaps we never thought of it before, but underneath our grief was the surprising truth that we measure the enormity of a crime by the nobility of the victim. The same act committed against a fellow-citizen would have been murder, too, but it would have convulsed us more if the mayor of a city were killed in identical circumstances: and still more if it had been the governor of a State. The top of the tottering pyramid of grief is reached when the president of a nation is assassinated. The impact, the scandal and the paralysis mount with the eminence of the ohe slain. Thus suddenly, without our having suspected that we knew any theology, we affirmed in grief the principle that "sin is always measured by the one sinned against." I will not carry it any further than to say, suppose that Perfect Innocence and Truth and Love became a Victim to evil and mediocrity, and was put to death by us—would not our grief be almost too deep for tears?
HIERARCHY OF GRIEF. the murder of THUS a President has suddenly made us realise that Dallas is not far from Calvary, that the death of the head of a nation has in it some reflection of that sorrow for the death of the Head of humanity, and that even in our democratic world, in which we tend to level off all things, we still have in our souls a hierarchy of grief. The nobler the victim, the greater the sin, and the deeper the _grief. We have walked with pleasure for many a mile and we have smiled and smiled, and learned nothing. But what a vista of the mystery which lies in the heart of the world's redemption was unveiled when we, as a people, walked with sorrow! People become more united in sorrow than in pleasure. This is the second lesson learned in the dark pages of our national loss. Across the nation, citizens were enjoying theatres, sports, parties, cocktails and a thousand and one pursuits of eros in which the ego satisfies itself under the guise of a love of another. Then all these disparate and separate enjoyments, like scattered drops of mercy, suddenly came together in one centre —the broken heart of America.
Again, without knowing any theology, we became theologians. We suddenly realised that we were actors in another drama: "In the death of One Man, all die.'! We died with President Kennedy because our human nature has already been stamped with that Value whence all values derive— in the death of the Lord we all die, and in His resurrection, we all live. Strange it is how human nature, forgetting its faith, suddenly is illumined by it. Why, not only Americans, but the world — all We humanity — was made one! should have remembered it without a murder. As quick as a rifle shot, he who said that we are debtors to our country gave that which signifies the fullness of all giving—the surrender of life, human love and lawful power. He who said that we should all be as creditors to our country now signed a receipt of patriotism which read: "Paid in full." Giving takes on some value because where was once Divine Giving Which, across the debt of sin, wrote: "Paid in full." It is well to be proud of our country, but if the memory of a death means anything, we will no longer boast as if the peacock were our national symbol, saying: "I am an American," but, in the full consciousness that our symbol is an eagle mounting ever upwards, we will say: "May I be worthy to be an American."
International Eucharistic Congress - 1964 OFFICIAL COMMUNIQUE As is already well known, the 38th Inter-
national Eucharistic Congress of the Catholic Church is to be held in Bombay from November 28 to December 6, 1964. The Congress meets once in about five years; it has been previously held in countries which are mainly Christian, and it is for the first time- in its history that it is being convened, by the choice of His Holiness the Pope, in a country like India where Christians form a small minority in a population of over 400 millions. The fact that India should have been chosen for this unique event of great spiritual significance, both to Christians and non- Christians, shows the tremendous appeal India holds for people abroad. It has been conservatively estimated that as many as 20 to 30 thousand foreign visitors will attend this Congress at Bombay and they will include many persons of distinction and eminence from Europe and the Americas, as also from Africa and neighbouring countries such as Pakistan, Ceylon, Burma, Malaya, Indonesia, Philippines, Vietnam, Laos. Cambodia, Japan, etc. The Congress, therefore provides a wonderful opportunity for a large group from such visitors of abroad to come into contact with prominent Indians in all walks of life, several as particularly functions, not only religious, but also civic and cultural, will be associated The with the Congress. Congress will thus enable these visitors to see for themselves the freedom which the people these visitors to see for themselves the freedom which the people of India enjo: in both the secular and the religious spheres of activity. The great value of this event in generating and
promoting international goodwill and understanding has been recognised by the Government of Maharashtra and by the Government of India, and they have both extended, and will continue to extend, all possible facilities which are necessary to make the occasion of the Congress, the complete success it should be. His Eminence Valerian Cardinal Gracias, Archbishop of Bombay, who has just returned from Delhi, stated at a Press Conference, that he has been given the warmest assurance to this effect by all the Ministries of the Government of India concerned, and these cover specifically, highly important matters such as facilitation of grant of visas, and of cusioms and other entry formalities, provision of suitable transport and accommodation, publicity, continuous, effective and highlevel liaison between the Central Executive Office of the Congress and the various official agencies. In this connection, His Eminence met, among others, the Acting President, the Prime Minister, the Ministers for Finance, Defence, Transport, Information and Broadcasting, Railways, the SecretaryGeneral of the Ministry of External Affairs, the Chairman and Members of the Central Board of Customs and Central Excise, the Director General of Tourism, the Director General of All-India Radio, the Chief Controller of Imports and other officers.

Film Censor Wants Restrictive Session Legislation CONDENSED FROM AN ARTICLE BY REV
M. A. CHAMBERLIN, B.A.
Last September Father Chamberlin wrote an article in which he advocated for legislation restricting the attendance of children at films classified as suitable only for adults. It is now interesting to note that the newly appointed Chief Censor, Mr. R. J. Prowse, is reported in the following terms in "Film Weekly." "Mr. Prowse's own personal opinion is that it should not be left to parents alone to prevent attendance of children at adult cinema programmes: 'I personally advocate a system such as the U.K. has, but I realise that it would be difficult to enforce.'" In the United Kingdom, any film classified "A" is approved as more suitable for adults, and children under 16 may not be admitted unless accompanied by and in charge of an adult. Those classified "X" indicate that a film is strictly for adults and no children may be admitted in any circumstances whatsoever. Managers of the cinemas are bound by law to see that patrons abide by these regulations. The very existence of the legislation creates a climate in which parents and children accept and observe, for the most part, the restrictions it imposes. Objections are frequently raised against this legislation— Why should theatre managers be asked to assume such responsibility? These days, youngsters of 14 or 15 years of age can themselves make look much older than they are. Why set ah arbitrary agelimit when children mature at different ages?
This type of legislation was tried in Victoria in the early thirties, but failed and was later repealed. The case can be argued both for and against. What is needed is a thorough examination in the light of present circumstances and needs. There is a variety of reasons why the matter should be investigated at this time The mature and adult content of many present-day films makes them quite unsuitable for young and impressionable minds. The Chief Censor has stated clearly that he favours legislation and the 1961 Gallup Poll showed 81 per cent of parents were in favour of it. So, let the matter be investigated. Let us see whether legitlation is necessary. Let us have the facts. If the decision is in favour of legislation, the form it should take can then be examined. Any legislation should invite the support and cooperation of the theatre manager without demanding the impossible of him. The urgent need at this time is a full investigation of all aspects of the question of children and young adolescents and adult films. Action should await the results of a preliminary enquiry.

SYDNEY: The Rev. Dr. Rumble, M.S.C., resumed his Question Box session on Radio 2SM at 7.30 p.m. last Sunday. For health reasons, Dr. Rumble has been compelled to reduce the length of his session to half an hour. The Question Box is the world's longest running radio programme. It began 35 years ago and has been broadcast ever since for one hour on every Sunday night for 10 months of the year—March to December. In all, Dr. Rumble has written and broadcast more than nine million words, most of which have been published in the Catholic Press of Australia. His manuscripts for the Question Box session alone would be sufficient for a hundred large books. And this would be only a part of his vast literary output.

here reported details of the desecration of a statue of Our Lady by communists in Santiago last October. The refugees said that on October 4 a group of Reds led by uniformed militiamen entered Santiago's Santo Tomas Church. They stripped the statue of Our Lady known as "The Pilgrim" of its vestments and jewels and dressed it in the uniform of a militiawoman. While they were doing this, the refugees added, the Cuban Reds shouted insults. The statue is known as "The Pilgrim" because of the many times it had been
taken on pilgrimage through Oriente province, of which Santiago is the capital. The Cubans did not confirm a report that the desecration had been ordered by Premier Fidel Castro. But they reported that a few days before the incident occurred, the Premier's brother—Vice-Premier Raul Cagro — had been in Santiago to preside at a meeting at which anti-religious remarks were made.

SPECIAL YEAR Of THANKSGIVING IN THE PHILIPPINES MANILA: The Philippine Bishops in a joint pastoral letter on February 24, have declared the year 1965 as a special year of thanksgiving to observe the 400th anniversary of the evangelisation of their country. The document, tracing the Christianisation of the islands, notes that Philip 11 of Spain ordered an expedition from Mexico under Miguel Lopez de Legaspi in 1565. The first Mass in the archipelago had been celebrated on Leyte Island in 1521, but until the expedition from Mexico four attempts to evangelise the islands had met with little results. Once the expedition gained momentum, however, all the islands were converted to Christianity within 50 years. Calling this "an achievement which has no parallel in the history of missions," the pastoral letter states that it is also "the greatest and most significant event in our history." It continues: "Before our country was christianised our forefathers had, no doubt, their natural virtues. But at the same time, they
had pagan customs and practices. Their culture was steeped in idolatry and superstition. It was our conversion to Christianity that ushered us into the family of civilised nations." The letter further states that the year 1565 also was of great significance to the Philippines "because that was the year that the nation came into being. "As the Gospel was brought from one island to another, the Philippines as a country, as one nation emerged. Before that, in these islands there were only small kingdoms and t ribes, one independent of the other." To observe tthe anniversary, the bishops have decided to ask the Holy See for permission to declare 1965 as a Jubilee Year for the Philippines, to hold a Eucharistic Congress in Cebu City during April of that year, and to found a seminary to train missionaries Asian for other nations. "Our Catholic Faith will always be our most precious heritage," the Bishops state. "We will always consider the fact that we are the only Christian nation In the Orient as our badge of distinction in the whole Christian world".

DESMOND O'GRADY writes from ROME. ..
The Relationship of Jews And Catholics WHERE DO RELATIONS BETWEEN CATHOLICS AND JEWS STAND AFTER THE POPE'S VISIT TO THE HOLY LAND? There is a whole range of reactions, from the extremist Jewish Orthodox sects who put up posters in Israel denouncing the Pope as the head of a false religion.
CO
HE most responsible pessimistic reaction, h o w ever, is that of Israeli Jews who claim the Council discussion of the Jewish quest ion was thwarted because the Pope wanted Arab agreement to his visit to the Holy Land. There is no denying that a Council decision in favour of the chapter introduced by Cardinal Bea on Jews would have repercussions throughout the Arab world. It would place the Arab Catholic minority in an awkward position in respect to non-Catholic Arabs. Cardinal Tappouni, Patriarch of Antioch of the
Syrians, was one of the main opponents of the chapter on the Jews and his argument was that it was inopportune to include them when discussing the unity of Christians He could have pointed out that the Jews have yet to choose Christ. While a "conversion of the Jews" is conceivable in a long perspective, there are no immediate prospects of it. According to reliable estimates, only one-third of Jews are religious and the other twothirds are indifferent to religion. The one-third who have retained a religious sense are divided between three great rites which are in turn divided between orthodox, liberals and conservatives so that a movement of one section towards Catholicism would drive the others further away.

Controversial nESPITE these,
to I arouse irrational hate within the Church was such a flop that it must be the last such effort — the promised second volume did not appear. It represented the nadir of thought about the Jews and although substantial difficulties remain, it seems likely that the Church is about to throw off any traces of antiSemitism. Pope John, whose ecumenism did not stop at Christians, but reached out to all men, was anxious that the Jews be freed of the charge of deicide, which has been one of the sources of antiSemitic persecutions. Cardinal Bea mentioned another motive for this new look at the attitude to Jews when he introduced the subject to the Council. He referred directly to the Nazi massacres of the Jews during the second world war. In 1960, the Italian clergy review declared that the at• tribution of sole guilt to the Jews for the murder of Christ was without foundation in the New Testament and could not be demonstrated from an historical viewpoint. A Capuchin, Father Mariano, repeated similar opinions over Italian television. In the same year the French Cardinal Lienart sent out a pastoral letter saying that sin, not the Jews, was responsible for the death of Christ. They have not changed from being an elected people in the Old Testament to being a cursed people in the New Testament affirmed Cardinal Lienart.

and other, precedents, the brief chapter on the Jews was still considered highly controversial when introduced in the Council, even though Cardinal Bea recalled Christ's forgiveness from the Cross. Some were opposed only to its position, but others were opposed to its substance. Paul's pilgrimage must have made many reflect on the continuity between the Old and the New Testaments, and on the Christ born in Judaism who died to save all mankind. The aim to heal the original schism in the people of God has a sound theological, human and historical foundation, even though it is ringed with difficulties. Pope Paul was wary of these problems during his day in Israel. The Council draft insists that it is concerned with Jews and not with the State of Israel and the Pope took great care not to make any gesture which could be interpreted as approval of the State which is not recognised by the Vatican. This upset some Israelis, as did the fact that Cardinal Tisserant, rather than the Pope, visited the memorial on Mount Sion to the Jewish victims of the Nazis.
Thorny Aspect THESE
victims, I and Pius XII's attitude towards them, remain one of the thorniest aspects of Catholic Jewish relations as Pope Paul's speech at the Mandlebaun Gate indicates. It would be shortsighted to ignore the difficulties in Catholic - Jewish relations. The difficulties are clearer now than before Pope Paul's visit to the Holy Land. But because of the trip it seems more likely than ever that the great majority of the _bishops will be reinforced in the intent to do justice to the Jewish people. The most optimistic Israeli reactions to the Pope's trip are in agreement with this forecast when they say the Pope would not have gone among them and said "shalom" thrice if he was not sure that Cardinal Bea's Council draft would be approved.

should be threatened because of a desire for ecumenism in respect of the Jews. It would be a mistake to underestimate the intensity of this feeling. It was only in November of 1962 that the Council Fathers were sent a large volume entitled "Plot Against the Church." This carried a preface which outlined a "perverse plot" against the Church. The plot was masked behind a proclaimed modernisation of the Church, but its real aim was to assist Communism to prepare the destruction of the free world and of Christianity. This was all to be done within the Second Vatican Council according to a plan prepared by Communist leaders and the occult forces which control them. For anyone who had not guessed which were these occult forces, a glance at the book's index was enough— "the secret motor of Communism; the occult power of masonry; the synagogue of Satan" and "the fifth column in the clergy" all pointed to the pervasive enemy, the Jew.

Family Allowances IT IS GOOD TO HAVE NEIGHBOURS. NOT ONLY ARE THEY HANDY IN AN EMERGENCY, BUT ONE CAN LEARN FROM THEM. Over the years we in the United States have been fortunate in our neighbour to the north—Canada. As in any neighbourhood, there have been the usual' ups'-and downs in relationships, but on the whole the atmosphere has been one of mutual respect, trust and special affection. For the past twenty years most Canadians, at one time or another, have been involved in a programme which should be much better known in this country than it is. This is the Family Allowance system.
H OW IT WORKS IT WORKS VERY SIMPLY. Each month the Federal Treasury sends to every mother, rich or poor, a cheque for each child under sixteen. The present payments are six dollars (£A2/14/-) for each child under ten and eight dollars ( A3/12/-) for each child from ten to sixteen. This money is intended by law to be used for the direct maintenance, care, training, education and the general advancement of the child for whom the cheque is issued. At the beginning, many sincere people opposed the idea. They offered what seemed at the time excellent reasons against it. The Family Allowance system, they said, would put an extraordinary burden on the taxpayer. It would undermine the initiative of the poor and contribute to an increasing birth rate of the least desirable citizens. The money would probably be spent on liquor for the parents and the kids would be worse off than before. Despite opposition, the bill was passed and after t wenty years of experience it has been proven that none of the advance fears had reality. Far from putting a heavy_economic burden on the taxpayer, the allowance system has redistributed income, increased purchasing power and boosted economic development. *
EFFECTS ITS BIGGEST EFFECT has been in the lives of people directly involved. Parents have been uniformly conscientious in using the money for the children. In 1961 there were only 375 cases (out of two and a half million families) in which there was any evidence of misuse of funds. Liquor sales did not rise appreciably, but the sale of children's clothes, shoes, baby food and milk went up in some cases by more than a third. Children in depressed areas no longer get rickets from malnutrition and they no longer have to stay home from school because they lack shoes and clothing. Children, even in the remote backwoods, no longer grow up unable to read or write. With allowances coming in, all but a tiny fraction remain in school until they are sixteen. A surprising number from the very lbw income groups somehow manage to go on to college. The programme has had a noticeable effect on the drop-out problem. *
Today the Family Allowance plan is universally accepted in Canada. All political parties endorse it and no piece of legislation has ever been more popular and effective. The best part of it, in the long run, is that it strengthens the family and promotes the general welfare of the children involved. The address of the local Catholic Marriage Guidance Centre is 77 ST.

The Seventh of a Series . . .
the author of this By Father Frederick R. McManus article, the seventh
of a series on the sweeping liturgical reform provided for the Ecumenical Council, serves as one of the council's official advisers on liturgical matters. He is a priest of the Boston archdiocese and a professor of canon law at the Catholic University of America, Washington, and is the immediate past president of the North American Liturgical Conference.

Of the constitution's 130 sections, the first one singled out by the Pope for immediate action and application is Article 19:
"With zeal and patience, pastors of souls must promote the liturgical instruction of the faithful, and also their active participation in the liturgy both internally and externally, taking into account their age and condition, their way of life, and standard of religious culture. By so doing, pastors will be fulfilling one of the chief duties of a faithful dispenser of the mysteries- of God; and in this matter they must lead their flock not only in word but also by example." These words sum up the Second Vatican Council's rules for "the promotion of liturgical instruction and active participation." And they were given first place in Pope Paul's document of January 25, 1964, on carrying out the council's plans. "By the very nature of things" the directions for liturgical education and participation "come into force immediately." When the Constitution on the Liturgy was promulgated on December 4, 1963, at the public session which closed the second session of the council, a date was set for its regulations to become effective and universal law of the Church—February 16, 1964, the first Sunday of Lent. At the same time it was evident that many of the council's decisions would have to be delayed still longer—chiefly because they depend upon the revision of services, texts, prayers, etc.
Further Action MM
OST of the parts of the constiution which must wait further and specific action are evident enough. For example, the bishops decided that during Mass "a more representative portion of the holy Scriptures will be read to the people in the course of a prescribed number of years," that is, in a kind of cycle. Obviously, this provision cannot take effect until new lectionaries and altar missals are prepared and published. To clarify any doubts and to make sure that the liturgical renewal goes ahead without delay, Pope
Paul's January 25 instruction deals with several matters: • Begging "all Christians and particularly all priests" to study the text of the constitution, the Holy Father urged bishops and pastors in the strongest terms to teach the people how to take part in the Church's worship, with an understanding of its "strength and inner value." • Next, Pope Paul set up a special commission to carry out the council's decisions—particularly by revising the service books, such as the altar missal and

few cases anticipated the reform of rites and services: immediate permission to celebrate the sacraments of Confirmation a n d Matrimony during Mass — with special provision for Scripture readings and the nuptial blessings even at marriages celebrated apart from Mass; permission to suppress parts of the daily office of prayer, in the case of those bound to pray the office, without waiting for the revised texts.
D irections COME specific directions ',10 given by the Pope insist on more serious steps to be taken without delay: ESTABLISHMENT of diocesan liturgical commissions to promote understanding and active participation in public worship by the people; THE HOMILY preached at Mass in which "the mysteries of the Faith and the guiding principles of the Christian life are expounded from the sacred text" — recommended by the council as a part of any and every Mass—required, as of February 16, at every Sunday and holy day Mass when a congregation is presert; THE TEACHING of the liturgy in seminaries and similar institutions to be revised according to the council's legislation. Because the Second Vatican Council has not yet determined with precision the role of "episcopal conferences" or bodies of bishops in the different countries, the January 25 document of Pope Paul gives specific rules — such bodies, organised on a national basis must include all bishops of dioceses, and may include coadjutor and auxiliary bishops; the enactment of decrees requires a twothirds vote by secret ballot.
Papal Directive importance of this THE rule lies in the authority
conferred by the council itself upon such bodies of bishops in liturgical matters, especially in the introduction of the vernacular languages into the liturgy. A new papal directive is added, that translations of Latin liturgical texts are to be submitted to Rome for approval. It is only natural that Mlsst attention should be concentrated upon future reforms, upon the commission set up to revise the rite of Mass and the sacraments, and upon the few changes which become effective without delay. Dramatic changes catch the eye; it is all the harder to propose, as Pope Paul and the other bishops have done, the broad programme of study, instruc-

teriorly expressed.
If any specific norm is the key to the others, it is the insistence that Articles 15, 16, 17 of the constitution be put into effect immediately —that seminary programmes be revised for the next scholastic year.
Unified council has called for THE thorough reappraisal of
the teaching of dogmatic theology, Scripture, spiritual theology and pastoral theology — all to be unified in the exposition of "the mystery of Christ and the history of salvation" which is celebrated in Christian worship. The liturgy, which is faith in action, is to have new emphasis in the seminary programme of studies and in the seminary life of prayer. All this stems from the council's recognition that "it would be futile to entertain any hopes of realising" its purposes "unless the pastors themselves, in the first place, become thoroughly imbued with the spirit and power of the liturgy, and undertake to give instruction about it." Irrespective of reforms and changes yet to come, the immediate need is education and participation—beginning with "priests, both secular and religious, who are already working in the Lord's vineyard" and with candidates for the pries' hood in seminaries and other places of study. Only this can bring to pass the high hopes of the Church, as expressed by the Pope and by all the bishops: "Participation by the Christian people as 'a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, a redeemed people' (I Peter 2:9; cf. 2: 4-5) is their right and duty by reason of their Baptism." NEXT WEEK: Practice, rather than talk, is needed for liturgical participation.

THE Catholic Information C o u r,s e Correspondence founded by Father Jacques Reijnders, S.C.J., has had 150 inquiries in the nine months of its existence. This has- occurred in a country which has only 2,500 Catholics in a predominantly Protestant population of four and a half million. Meanwhile, Father Robert de Caluwe, S.J. is opening a new Eastern Rite chapel near Helsinki which will serve as an ecumenical centre.
BISHOP Manuel Mascarinas of Tagbilaran has urged every parish in his diocese to set up a credit union. The establishment of such credit co-ops, he said, coutd help rid the country of usurers who get rich on excessive rates of interest at the expense of poor borrowers. He called credit unions a foundation for a better and economically healthier community, and a strong link in the chain of democracy.

Pontifical Institute For Vocations I Advanced Austria To Use Director The Vernacular Latin Studies In The Mass
V ATICAN C1TY.—Pope Paul VI has authorised the establishment of a pontifical institute for advanced Latin • studies in Rome to provide top-quality Latin teachers for the world's seminaries. Greek will be taught as well as Latin. The institute will be under the Sacred Congregation of Seminaries and Universities which will draw up its rules and curriculum and name Its director and staff. Teachers and students will be selected from many countries. The Salesian Fathers have provided a building and grounds for the new school and have been made directly responsible for its development. Father Renato Ziggiotti, S.D.B., the Salesian superior-general, has been named vice-chancellor of the institute. Authorisation was given
in a motu proprio entitled "Studia Latinitatis," dated February 22 and published in L'Osservatore Romano on February 26. The motu proprio—a document issued on the Pope's own initiative— was published on the second anniversary of the publication of the apostolic constitution, "Veterum Sapientia" of Pope John XXIII, which dealt with the study of Latin in seminaries. Bishops and religious superiors are invited to send students to the institute for training as seminary teachers. The school will give a four-year course. It will also offer shorter courses leading to special diplomas.
Message To Soviet Leader
VIENNA, Austria: The Austrian Hierarchy has directed that the Epistle and Gospel of all public Masses will henceforth be read in the national language (German) by the priest facing the congregation. In a pastoral letter issued here, the Bishops also decreed that sermons must be given during all public Masses on Sundays and feast days. In non-public Masses, all texts will continue to be read in Latin. The bishops observed in the letter that liturgical reform is demanded by secular tendencies in the world. "The high level of material civilisation in which we are living has given earthly values so much attractive power than even Christianthinking people are in danger of losing sight of eternal things," they said. However, they noted that many of the reforms recommended by the Second Vatican Council are already in effect in Austria and other German-speaking nations.
VATICAN CITY: Father Godfrey Poage, C.P., formerly of the Chicago Holy Cross Province of the Passionist Fathers, has been named director of the Pontifical Organisation for Religious V ocations. The 44-year-old vocations expert is the first American to hold the office of director of the organisation, which is under the jurisdiction of the Sacred Congregation of Religious. The congregation oversees the activities of the orders, congregations and societies of male and female Religious throughout t h e world. Father Poage was working in the office of religious vocations for three years before he was named official director. At present he is busy completing details for a world day of prayer for vocations, both to the religious life and the diocesan priesthood, which will be held on April 12. Prior to his assignment in Rome, Father Poage was known in the United States for his work in the vocations field and is the author of several books on the subject. In 1962 he organised the first world Religious Vocations Congress in

V ATICAN CITY. -- Informal Vatican sources have confirmed that Pope Paul VI has sent a message to Premier Nikita Khrushchev of the U.S.S.R. acknowledging receipt of a peace message the Soviet leader sent to all heads of state on December 31. No Wheal comment was made by the Vatican regardigg the exchange of messages between the Pope and Khrushchev as reported by the Soviet news agency, Tass. But it was indicated that the Pope's reply was delivered verbally, although the Tass story implied he had written to the Soviet Premier. One Vatican source, quoted by Rome's Catholic Action daily "Ii Quotidiano," said of statements attributed to the Pope by Tass: "It is supposed that what is meant is a verbal communication made by the Apostolic Nuncio in Italy to the Soviet Ambassador in Rome." Another Vatican source stressed that the message of acknowlegdement was a normal courtesy and simply a statement that the message had been given to the Pope and that it was being studied. No other significance should be attributed to it, the source said.
Belgium's P.M. Visits Pope VATICAN CITY: The Holy Father told Belgium's Prime Minister that Belgium seeks to have "an active part in the construction of Europe and the world of tomor-. row.Premier Theo Lefevre was received at the Vatican on February 23 with honours of state. He conferred privately with the Pope for 20 minutes in the Pope's library. Then members of his party were presented to the Pope, who paid tribute in the French language to Belgium's humanitarian and religion tradition. Belgium, he said i. "a country small in its geographic dimensions, b u t great by virtue of its spirit of initiative, its ardour in work and its faithfulness to its tasks." The Pope gave the Prime Minister an autographed photograph, a gold medal c ommemorating his visit to the Holy Land, a photocopy of the manuscript of the Greek epic poem Iliad from the Ambrosian library in Milan and a painting depicting Biblical scenes. The Prime Minister gave the Pope a picture of Christ.

Y.C.W. Branch Notes Redemptorists Conduct Novena To Saint Joseph
By Y.C.W. Branch Correspondents
The Y.C.W. Friendship Weekend held from February 29 to March 1, was a great social success. Over 200 attended the ball which was the number one event. The highlight of the picnic to Rockingham was the rugby match on the beach between Perth Y.C.W. and the country Y.C.W. A very popular function was the dance at the Y.A.L. Hall. This was organised by the Highgate Y.C.W. and was attended by over 300 young people. The executive sincerely thank Dick Van Leeuwin for his untiring efforts over the last six weeks.
MORLEY PARK (Boys) held a general meeting on Sunday February 23. Magistrate A. G. Smith gave a talk on the prevelance of teenage drinking and warned of the bad effect that followed the present attitude of many young people to the drink question. WEST PERTH are holding a social evening on March 8, at 8.0 p.m. in the Parish Hall, Corner Fitzgerald and John Street. The evening promises to be most enjoyable and it is hoped for a large attendance.

VERY Wednesday from '7.30 to 8 o'clock the Redemptorist Fathers conduct a new Perpetual Novena to St. Joseph. After a special preparation over a period of months, this Perpetual Novena commenced last Wednesday, March 4. This Novena does not in any way interfere with the Perpetual Novena to Our Lady of Perpetual Succour, which takes place each Saturday at 4.30 p.m. and 7 p.m. It is only normal that we ask ourselves "why is this being done? Why is this Perpetual Novena to St. Joseph being inaugurated?" If we give some serious thought to the reasons for starting this Perpetual Novena to St. Joseph, it is quite likely we will feel a strong desire to come to it. It is certain that we will get a much clearer appreciation of St. Joseph's love for us and a consoling realisation that St. Joseph greatly desires to carry out his commission from God and the Church—to watch over us and to intercede in a special way with God on our behalf to provide our spiritual and temporal necessities.

Here is the first brief article giving some of the special reasons for having this Perpetual Novena to St. Joseph. We promise to give further information and interesting knowledge on the growth and spread of devotion to St. Joseph which the Holy Spirit has brought about in latter years, particularly in our own generation. It is understandable that there should be a special interest in the life and destiny of St. Joseph at the present time. "We have seen within the Church a great revival in the true understanding of Christ and His teaching and His love for us all. We have seen a great revival in the true understanding of the role of His Holy Mother in God's plan of the Redemption of men. This freshened and more thorough understanding and love for Jesus and Mary extends naturally to St. Joseph, the person who was most closely associated with them and whom God had given such signal honours and trust. "The curious fact is that interest in St. Joseph has been so long delayed. The knowledge of him was there from the beginning; it is in

recent times that a new factor has been noticed—the desire and tendency to give the knowldege a vital meaning, to bring St. Joseph into our lives. "This means that we must relate our lives to his, to the life which he lives on in glory, independently of our temporal limitations." "It has been estimated that within the last 15 years more books have appeared on St. Joseph than in any other similar period in the history of the Church."

By FATHER JOHN CARROLL, C.SS.R.
The ideas and information in this article have been, in great part, gathered from a new book published on St. Joseph, entitled "Joseph, Son of David," by Michael O'Carroll, C.S.Sp., published by Gill and Son, Dublin.
Another striking fact is this. More books and treatises about St. Joseph have been published in the last 15 years than all that was written on the Saint in the first four hundred years of St. the Church's history. Joseph, without fame or glory for centuries, has now come before us as a shining light and great power in the Church of God. "He has come out before the Church in the fullness of his stature within living memory."
Great Interest We can trace the development of the growth of devotion to St. Joseph in history, with great interest, firstly from the beginning of the Church down through the centuries to the First Vatican Council (1869-1870). From the First Vatican Council (convoked by Pope Pius IX) down to the time of the Second Vatican Council (convoked by Pope John XXIII) in our own day. This second period of the history of devotion to St. Joseph is known as the period of "Papal Action." In the beginning of Christianity the great value that God sets on St. Joseph and the great power that St. Joseph has and is to have with God for the souls and lives of all who enter God's Church is hidden from men. In the first four centuries of the Church, St. Joseph's greatness with God and his status in God's plan for the sanctification and salvation of men remains almost hidden.
Mary's Role In the providence of God, first, Christ and Christ's Divinity have to be clearly established in the minds and hearts of men. Next in order, as time goes on, Mary's greatness with God and Mary's role in God's plan for the Redemption of men has to be unfolded to men and grasped by men. This took time . . . centuries. Immediately before the coming of Christ into the world, and even during the public life of Christ, you have St. John the Baptist, a public and well-known men's figure, preparing minds and hearts for the advent of Christ. Next you have St. Peter chosen and appointed by Christ as the head of His Divine Church on earth. He then, especially the time of Christ ascension into heaven, becomes the public important figure in the Church, and together with him the other Apostles. They, with him, have been commissioned by Christ to "go and preach the Gospel to every creature." For some time Our Blessed Lady seems unknown, unimportant and forgotten. For a very much longer time St. Joseph becomes unknown and forgotten. The Church appears to have grown and spread far and wide—leaving St. Joseph and his status in God's plan of the Re-
demption of men behind, as unimportant. But St. Joseph is not to remain in seclusion. When the Providential time has come in the life of Christ's Divine Church on earth, after a number of centuries, the silent and apparently unknown and unnoticed St. Joseph begins — by the inspiration of the Holy Spirit on 'God's children'—to shine forth as unique, as great before God, as one who has already exercised a great spiritual influence upon them and obtained many graces from God for them. Gradually, the Holy Spirit proceeds to enlighten God's children in the specially appointed Mission of St. Joseph — in God's Church. They come to see that St. Joseph is to be greatly reverenced and loved, that he is to be greatly trusted and confided in "because of what the hand of God has established in him." Some historical facts on the growth of devotion to St. Joseph— WE have the brief Gospel story of St. Joseph as the chaste spouse of Mary, the Mother of Jesus, together with the account of his care of Mary and the Divine Child, over Whom God gave him the authority of a father. ST. AUGUSTINE, who died in the early part of the fifth century, wrote two basic documents on St. Joseph which are the foundation of all theological teaching on St. Joseph. 7 ese magnificent treatises seem to have been unused practically for centuries. POPE SIXTUS IV (14711484) inserted the feast of St. Joseph into the Roman Missal and the priest's breviary. POPE INNOCENT VIII (1484-1492) introduced the first special Office into the priest's breviary to be said by the priests in honour of St. Joseph. POPE GREGORY XV, by a special decree in 1621, was the first Pope to order the Church in every land to
celebrate the Feast of St. Joseph. POPE CLEMENT XI, in 1714, adorned this feast of St. Joseph with its own special Mass and office for the priest's breviary. POPE BENEDICT XIII, in the year 1726, ordered the name of the Holy Patriarch St. Joseph to be officially inserted in the Litany of the Saints . . . to be said in all churches. At the end of the FIRST VATICAN COUNCIL of the Church (1869-1870), Pope Pius IX introduced the feast of St. Joseph as "Patron of the Universal Church." He did this solemnly by a special decree in 1870. This special feast was henceforth to be held on March 19 each year. POPE LEO XIII, in 1889, issued the longest papal document ever published on St. Joseph — showing how no one was more fitting and suitable to be the Heavenly Patron of fathers of families and of workers than St. Joseph. POPE PIUS X, in 1908, approved of new litanies in honour of St. Joseph and granted new indulgences for prayers to St. Joseph and gave new directives to all the faithful to increase their love for St. Joseph. POPE BENEDICT XV, who was Pope during the first world war, begged all mankind, especially those in want and suffering, to trust in St. Joseph and to implore his aid frequently. He called He for greater devotion. had composed a new special preface for St. Joseph's Mass. POPE PIUS XI, on a number of different occasions during his pontificate, especially in 1928 and 1938, expounded the spiritual character and power of St. Joseph and fostered an increase of devotion to him. POPE PIUS XII gave a number of beautiful discourses on St. Joseph. In 1940 he implored newly married couples to place themselves in a special way under the mantle of St. Joseph. In 1945 he announced solemnly the institution of the feast of St. Joseph, The Worker for SEE PAGE 15 or

Mentally Ill - They Are Our Responsibility! "Then the King will say to those on His right hand: 'Come blessed of My Father, take possession of the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was sick and you visited me" —(Matthew, ch. 25). Bearing these words of Christ in mind and realising our responsibility to our brethren in the Mystical Body, the Legion marches through locked and unlocked wards of a mental hospital. A BEGINNING.— On the occasion of the 25th anniversary of the founding of the Legion of Mary in the Boston Archdiocese, Hi s Eminence Richard Cardinal of Archbishop Cushing, Boston, requested the lay apostolate to aid the mentally ill in hospitals. On August 6, 1961, the first meeting of the Praesidium of Our Lady of Mental Peace was held at Metropolitan State Hospital. Ten members were present, inexperienced in mental health and the ways of the Legion, but filled with a desire to serve Mary. A BOOST. — Others from us 0 0

AN URGENT NEED.— These patients desperately They need crave love. people, people, people. But so far the community offers rejection and an attitude of defeatism because mental illness is singularly lacking in appeal and people think nothing can be done; it is hopeless.—(Maria.Legionis ) AN APPEAL: LOCALLY!— The need for work to be done among those who are mentally ill is world-wide, as is the need for Catholics to consider seriously their responsibility in this field of Catholic Action. Steps are being taken in the formation of a special praesidium to carry out this work in the Perth Archdiocese. Those who are interested in this should not hesitate to contact the Legion Office as soon as possible. NEWS AND NOTES LONDON: A London Patrician group has given six active members to the praesidium which conducts the group. PARIS: A woman who never welcomed the Legionaries was, however, regularly visited. One day she failed to open the door of her appartment and the Legionaries informed the caretaker and the police. She was found seriously ill and was taken to hospital.

different parishes soon joined, boosting the praesidium to 22 members-10 men and 12 women, included in which are four married couples with children. The men visited the male ward, two assigned to a ward, contacting the same patients each week. The women visit the female wards in the same manner. RESULTS! —Thirteen wards are now being visited. Seventy-four patients have returned to the sacraments, 72 to Mass attendance. Some of these patients have been away from the Church for 20 to 30 years. Ten of these patients have become auxiliary members. The priests have asked some of the patients what the Legion has meant to them. One patient replied he was waiting for someone to tell him to go to Mass and the Sacraments. Four instances are given where patients, silent since they entered the hospital, have spoken to Legionaries after many months of visits.

IN THE CHURCH'S LITURGY B Y U. A
BUTCHER, OF
THE TABLET
LONDON
Within a matter of weeks there have been repercussions in the English Catholic world over the two positive statements that have come out of the second session of the Second Vatican Council. The most constructively important and certainly the one that will make for the most revolutionary changes in our habits of practising our religion, is the decree on the use of the vernacular in the liturgy of the Church. For a long time now there has been in Britain a large body of enthusiasts and a special society dedicated to the promotion of the English language in the ordinary, services of the Catholic Church. Sympathisers with and members of the Vernacular Society have been thinking about ways of implementing such a decree long before it seemed possible that it would be drafted, let alone promulgated: VIEWS IN PRINT NOW that the Fathers of the Council have committed themselves—and us—to the principle that major portions of the Mass and liturgical services in general may be spoken in English, if the Bishops agree, both the enthusiasts and the more conservative are beginning to put their views into print. On January 4, two emiDominican priests, nent Father Edmund Hill and Father Conrad Pepler, both from the chief Dominican House of Studies at Hawkesyard Priory, in the English Midlands, wrote to a Catholic newspaper with the controversial suggestion that several different versions of a vernacular liturgy should be employed at the start, lest we should get saddled with an inferior text in a hasty effort to get the matter settled. There was an immediate reaction, both favourable and unfavourable, to this letter, and the argument still rages in the correspondence columns. On January 11, the chief spokesman on liturgical matters for the British Hierarchy, Dr. Francis Grimshaw, Archbishop of Birmingham, wrote a long article giving, in exceedingly cautious terms, what one must take to be the official view on the matter. It. could not be called progressive, but was certainly permissive. FIRST OF A SERIES ON January 21, the Hie'' archy of England and Wales held the first of a series of meetings at Westminster to discuss the constitution on the sacred liturgy and, unusually, representatives of the Scottish and Irish Hierarchies were also present. A statement was subsequently issued which is not likely to give much encouragement to the more wholehearted of the vernaculraists. It stated that, since all hierarchies were free to decide when and how these
changes in the liturgy should be made in their territories, the English-speaking Catholics of the British Isles could remain assured that "nothing will be taken away from the faithful until the bishops are satisfied that it will be replaced by something better." It went on to stpte that nothing would be done in Britain until further directions had been received from Rome. No priest could anticipate, in any chapel or church, in any way, any of the changes which he might favour until the promised instructions come from Rome. The Hierarchy will then meet again, submit suggestions for the proposed English changes to Rome, and then issue instructions to the clergy. There is little doubt that this caution will be a disappointment to many British priests who see their brethren in Europe and other countries already able to experiment much more widely.
Affairs Of State : Win For Lemass REMIER LEMASS HAS HAD A REVICMARKABLE P TORY IN THE- TWO BY - ELECFEBRUARY TIONS, ONE IN CORK AND THE OTHER IN KILDARE. He has now 71 seats out of a total of 144. Traditionally the Speaker (Mr. Patrick Hogan of the Labour' Party) does not vote. With the support of two Independents, he can in practice rely on a voting .• Lrength of 73 against 70, and is likely to continue t o have some other Independent support on some issues. _ Labour increased its vote in both constituencies, but the main Opposition party, Fine Gael, led by Mr. Dillon, failed to do so, and the immediate reaction of the editorials in all daily newspapers is that Fine Gael, which had hoped to form a Government, has some serious thinking to do this spring. True, the Labour Party lost in the by-election the seat which its distinguished former leader, William Norton, had held, but the strength of its vote suggests it will hold the seat in a General Election—when, of
Norton's son Patrick, was eliminated, it was seen that one in every three of his supporters had given the Lemass candidate as their second choice, and these second preferences put the Lemass candidate above the Dillon candidate and secured his election. VOTING FIGURES Cork City — Electorate, 55,976; total poll, 38,239;
THE second statement issued from Rome at the end of the second session of Vatican Council II dealt with mass media and communications; it was a document that met with immediate criticism for its lack o f professionalism from lay and clerical practitioners in these media, more especially from the French and Americans. In -Britain, we have had, for many years now, two separate bodies — one for the cinema and another for Re. radio and television. cently, these have been amalgamated into one body under Father Agnellus Andrew, 0.F.M., the chief Roman Catholic in the B.B.C. religious department, and now within the context of the new decree vast new projects have been embarked upon for this new Catholic Centre for Radio, Television and Cinema at St. Gabriel's House, Hatch End. near London. Father Andrew has been organising training courses for British and Commonwealth priests in radio and television in England for some time, but now a large new studio is to be built in the grounds of the house, in which really practical and detailed training can be carried out. This will, of course, entail a great deal of money. An appeal has recently been launched to build and equip the studio and pay the salaries of the increased staff necessary. It is also hoped that the information side for cinema and radio work and enlarged be may brought up to date, and that the journal "Annunciation," which deals with the mass media from a Catholic standpoint, will increase its scope—and circulation.

THE WEXFORD FESTIVAL. Sad news in the Irish cultural world — the nowfamous Wexford Festival, where the highest standards of opera were observed, will not be held this year. Dr. T. J. Walsh, founder and director, has resigned
because he is in disagreement with a trend in the committee to, he says, lower the artistic policy of the festival by going in for more "popular" works. The festival committee has decided to abandon the festival for this year, in view of Dr. Walsh's resignation, but promises a bigger and better festival in 1965. That this great festival which became internationally famous, and included Compton Mackenzie among its leaders, should thus end because of internal differences among the organisers has been viewed with regret throughout Ireland and Britain.
MAURICE WALSH. Famour novelist Maurice Walsh, from Kerry, has died at his son's residence at StWoran Park, Blackrock, Dublin. He wrote such famous books as "The Key Above the Door." Kerry writers, including Sigerson Clifford, Pauline Maguire, Michael Mulvihill and many others have paid tribute to his memory, and his funeral was attended in person by President de Valera. "I am only a storyteller," Maurice Walsh said of himself, but Kerry playwright John B. Keane sent a telegram saying he was "our best and most humble novelist." Keane, from Listowel, is in the top rank of Irish playwrights.

TURF TOPICS
IN keeping with past twoday meetings, results on the first day were much against punters at Ascot last Saturday. With the defeat of two odds-on chances and the success of three outsiders, winners were far from easy to find. It served yet another reminder to beware of the first of two-day programmes. El GOOD DUEL
Although the wrong horse won for most backers, GOOD JUDGMENT (7.4) and odds-on DAME DUVIDAL had the race to themselves in the six-furlong Clerk Handicap. The other four runners were well beaten off. The winner, Good Judgment, only had to stand his rival up 21b., but the 8.4 carried by her is not a heavy weight for a twoyear-old over six furlongs. When Dame Duvidal won last week she had everything her own way out in
I
front, but on Saturday FAIROLEAN disputed the early lead with her and this did not ,seem to be to her liking.
Ej SCORED FIRST-UP Having his first race after a spell, NORVAL BOY beat a speedy field in the sixfurlong City Handicap. The way he won strongly suggests that he will be equal to, or even better than when he won five races including the W.A. Guineas earlier in the season. He should be still further improved by the run. CHIRPY, also racing first-up, had too much speed for odd-on DECADRON and worried that horse out of the race. She was still in front on entering the straight, but then lack of condition told. Chirpy would perhaps be the fastest galloper now racing here and the day is not far off when she' will fail to stbp.

DINNA TELL'S clear-cut victory in the Coogee Handicap over 10.', furlongs points to her having a second to none chance in the Oaks Stakes to be run in a few weeks time.

Monday's Meeting CAN DO EIETTER
On his showing in the 1W,furlong Novice, CASHMORE —who went out a shortpriced favourite — does not like to be used up early, as he was in this race, but allowed to drop back in his field and then come home. It is most likely these tactics will be used when next this horse starts and improvement can be expected. Just when ROYAL RESULT and POLLY ASTA were fighting out the finish, UOMIE flashed home to win by a neck. The winner gave a good performance and should score again over a distance. ANOTHER WIN COUNT APT was again impressive when he won the six-furlong Gage Roads Handicap. Always handy to the leaders, he went to the front on the turn and gave nothing a chance in the run home. If held up for a final burst, this colt will offer stiff opposition to unbeaten LITTLE RODERICK when they soon meet. QUOTANE
BY THE HAWK filled the places, were no match for the winner. WHY SO GOOD? A reader asks: "Why is top rider Frank Treen so consistently more successful than his rivals?" An easy or almost lazy way on answering this question would be to say that it is because he gets the best mounts. While there is truth in the axiom that nothing breeds success like success, in Treen's case it is sheer all-round ability that earns him the best opportunities. He, along with other riders in Australia. will be the first to tell you that for no reason at all, they occasionally ride a bad race, but like their mistakes in selection of mounts, those cases are few and far between. The undermentioned plays the main part in the constant success of this good rider. • Treen is a horseman, not just a jockey with a good seat, hands and heels. Most horses seem to go well for him. • Astuteness in his selection of mounts (he makes few mistakes in this). • Last, but far from least, he is an outstanding judge of pace, which alone has enabled him to win scores of races. In this respect he would be among the top flight of riders in Australia t oday. n WEEK'S BEST NOR VAL BOY'S first-up win in the City Handicap was full of merit. He is sure to be improved by the run and from now on will take a power of beating in whatever races he starts in. The forward showing of CHIRPY in the same race could well be worth keeping in mind.

MUSIC CRITIC LOOKS AT THE 1964 FESTIVAL T
HE word "festival," once confined to bunfights and beer, is now used for almost any massing of human beings, short of actual war. A "music festival" is a t otally new sort of thing which has sprung into vogue since the war; these festivals have a great value in that they make it possible to stage performances which w ould be financially disastrous in the normal run. So a festival has the double eff ect of widening artistic horizons and, by making the better works unusual known, broadening the standard repertory. WONDERFUL IDEA In Europe, some festivals have developed into something of a rat race, but here in Perth, the managing committee have retained the original wonderful idea of a festival and we all owe them an incalculable debt of gratitude. This year, as in the past,

the films probably met festival requirements best, opening the windows on the great outside world in no uncertain manner. Musically, the highlight of the festival was the filmed Salzburg performance of which " Don Giovanni," reached a standard about which we can only dream. The French Cine-Ballet was also excellent and unusual, providing the only modern music of note in the festival —the musique concrete ballet. The live musical offerings were, in ascending order, three symphony concerts, a violin recital, a guitarist, an organ recital, two operas. two serenade concerts and two Elizabethan programmes in the Basil Kirk Studio. ELIZABETHANS The last were first-class in arrangement and performance, drawing the biggest studio audience in the history of the Perth A.B.C. We explored an old world which, musically, was a new world to us. The widely read would have found perhaps 25 per cent of the spoken works familiar; the music was almost entirely unknown. Both programmes were delightful and showed just how far behind we moderns are in wit, sophistication and love of beauty when compared with the Elizabethans. The Serenade Concerts were also extremely fine, particularly that for wind instruments organised by )3rian Pope. Both he and Verdon Williams deserve the highest praise for their choice of almost ideal festival music.

to get any at all. Without subsidy and a suitably large theatre, big opera costs far too much to stage to take any chances. The choice of operas, therefore ,had to be conservative, with old warhorses like "Figaro" and "Boheme" which can be performed with slight resources. The o-nly economic opera which we could stage with local resources might be chamber and ballad operas of the 17th and 18th centuries, such as those of Purcell or Pergolesi or "The Beggar's Opera." Would the people come? I doubt it. Individual artists don't cause such financial headaches. The soloists this year provided good variety, but there was a gap, I thought, in the field of intimate music. I would have liked to have heard some "popular" chamber music—Schubert's Octet, Beethoven's Septet, Dvorak's Piano Quintet and the like, even individual movements mixed up and played in a happy informal atmosphere.
JOAN POPE is producing the reading which will feature eight local poets, all of whom have had their work nationally published. Among them will be Griffith Watkins, Randolph Stow, Peter Jeffery, and Dorothy and Mery Lilley. The latter two will have their words put to music and sung by the "West Coast Trio." Interest was aroused in this idea about four years ago when a few local people got together and presented "Seven Poets." The following year they presented "Six Poets" at the Skinner Gallery, and then last year "Eight Poets" at the Dolphin. The organisers hope to continue this as an annual event.

T is difficult to find words to adequate praise the concert of wind serenades performed last Wednesday week in the New Fortune Theatre at the University. The New Fortune, as most readers know, is a replica ( in modern materials) of a Shakespearean court yard theatre. Surrounded on all sides by galleries, the courtyard is ideal for the playing of this kind of music. Serenades in the Austrian tradition were used as entertainment music at outdoor parties and therefore are perfect festival music. The two major works of the evening were enchanting masterpieces of this kind, Mozart's Serenade No. 11 in E Flat, K375, and Dvorak's Serenade in D minor, Opus 44. playing Was Instrument never less than good and the Finale of the Dvorak was simply splendid. The concert opened with a Wind Symphony by John Christian Bach. 'Symphony' before Haydn meant almost anything, and here we had an unpretentious serenade, merely galant but very pleasant. The other minor work was a witty Serenata Invano ( to which the lady- said "No") by Carl Nielsen which the players enjoyed almost more than the audience. The programme credited Brian Pope with the choice of music and the annotations; both were so wholly admirable as to deserve the highest possible praise. Credit is due also to Verdon Williams, the conductor, who has done so much to promote the more intimate forms of music in Perth; he has at least one wholehearted admirer.
weekly programmes entitled "The Best of Shakespeare" —an anthology of the bestknown speeches and scenes from his most familiar plays. Some of these programmes have been selected full-length classic from studio productions. A number of famous artists will be heard in the series. They include Sir John Gielgud, Sir Ralph Richardson, Dame Sybil Thorndike, Dame Flora Robson, Dame Edith Evans and Sir Michael Redgrave. In another programme, "What Shakespeare Means To Me," nine eminent men will give their personal reactions to Shakespeare in a series of 15-minute talks. The celebrations will also be reflected in "Shakespeare and Music" in which Bernard Keeffe will present a wide range of music which includes items from operas based on Shakespearean themes, such as Verdi's "Otello" and Britten's "A Midsummer Night's Dream." It is possible that some of these programmes will be broadcast by the A.B.C., who have already scheduled a number of Australian Shakespearean programmes during April, including one on "How Shakespeare Spent His Day" to be broadcast on April 29.
man who sold his soul to the devils. Marlowe's conception of Faustus, however, changes him from a Tnere magician to a man ambitious to be a great emperor of the world. He supplants mediaeval conceptions of royalty of tragedy with the idea of individual worth.
Concert's True Festival Music Serenade Concert by THE the Perth Sinfonietta was
true festival music with a programme of little-heard music. The concert opened with Arne's "Artaxerxes" Overture, a rather thin and unremarkable work, followed by the Symphony in E Flat by Abel. It was excellent and this one work made the evening worthwhile. Then we had Mozart's "Musical Joke," but I fear that to detect all Mozart's sly hits at his contemporaries, one would have to have as great a grasp of musical theory as Mozart. Despite the good intentions, this was dull and one of his numerous serenades or divertimenti would have been much preferable. Much more delectable was Cimarosa's Double Flute Concerto, with Owen Fisenden and Allyne Tilsed as soloists. Both music and playing were quite delightful. Then followed two relatively modern works, Nielsen's Little Suite and a completely unknown Serenade by the Swedish Dag Wiren. Both had a strong likeness. both light and pleasant, both played with considerable verve.

EC CATHOLIC TEACHING . ON BIRTH CONTROL 111" "MORE LIGHT,- MATRAVILLE, WRITES—AT WORK

London University, on "The Church Freedom," and "castigated both the quasitotalitarian procedures of some clerical bureaucrats and the timidity of the laity, in whom cowardice and a lack of self-reliance pose as obedience."

R.: Father Kung should ask himself what right and mission he has to castigate anything or anybody: and whether he himself is not posing as a demagogue bent on denouncing .authority while paying occasional lipservice to it, and misinterpreting the laity's observance of the laws of the region they love as "timidity," "cowardice" and "lack Of self-reliance." There is always room, of course, for criticism that is well-founded.

in the eyes of the world will remedy nothing. And the world will gladly misundegstand all that has been said. Many good priests and laity have deplored criticisms which, even if perhaps legitimate in private debate, are when indefensible given publicity in such a way. Father Kung's reference to "totalitarianism," with all the evil associations the word carries with it, will be discussed more fully later. Meantime, rising above all timidity and cowardice, Mr. Evelyn Waugh, a layman, declaring that he is speaking for the masses of ordinary Catholics, has expressed his fears lest the Council Fathers should be misled into entertaining ideas of what the laity want which are "far from the hopes of the large but less vocal body of the laity." "SUPREMACY OF C ONSCIENCE" Q.: Father Kung teaches that Catholic doctrine insists a man must ultimately follow his own conscience.
R.: Of course. But that means only that a man must be truly conscientious in all t hat he does. What is conscience? It is a practical judgment of man's reason as to what he is morally obliged to do. The Catholic, rightly convinced that the Catholic Church is the divinely-authorised guide of mankind in matters of faith and morals, reasonably judges that it Is his duty to accept her teachings in those matters and conscientiously adheres to them. That he must obey his conscience in doing so in no way suggests that he is independent of :the guidance of the Church as to what it is that he must believe and do.

ABOUT
WHICH I
FOR ME THE TEACHING OF THE CATHOLIC
"NOT OBLIGED BY C ATHOLIC TEACHING!"
R.: If a man sincerely believes he ought to do a thing, then he ought to do it. But a man may have either a right conscience or a wrong conscience. If he has a wrong conscience, it may be wrong through his own fault or not.
CONCERNING
R eplies to them may or may not then be among those chosen for in publication these columns.
R.: That can be put very simply, The Catholic Church does not say that people who marry are obliged to have all the children who could possibly result from their marriage. However, if for good reasons they wish to avoid having children for a given period, or to limit the number of children by spacing them at greater intervals than would normally be the case, the Catholic Church declares that according to the Law of God—it is not a mere Churchlaw—there are only two lawful ways of doing that. By mutual consent the parties may either consent to abstain from marital relations altogether until another child is welcome, or at least to abstain from such relations during the fertile period each month, restricting themselves to the sterile period when, not they, but nature itself makes conception unlikely. "EACH ONE'S OWN CONSCIENCE" Q.: Are all Catholics forbidden under pain of mortal sin to practise birth control, or is it just a matter of conscience for each person according to circumstances? R.: We are dealing with a Law of Nature as established by God and reinforced by His positive laws. It obliges not only Catholics but all human beings, whether Christians or Jews. Moslems or pagans. For all, birth prevention by contraceptive means is forbidden under pain of grave sin. There are cases where a person must follow the die tates of his own conscience. For example, there is no postive law of God forbidding strong drink. But a person who knows that he cannot take it in moderation and that if he starts taking it at all he will end by wrecking his own health and bringing misery and poverty upon his family, is obliged to heed the dictates of his own conscience, telling him to abstain from alcohol altogether and at all times. Where, however, by his own positive laws God Him. self has dictated our obligations, as in the Commandments, "Thou shalt not kill," "Thou shalt not steal," 'Thou shalt not bear false witness," etc., then every right conscience dictates that we must observe God's laws. In such cases, it is not left to each man to decide for himself what he ought to do. God has decided that for us. And since God's law forbids birth prevention by contraceptive means, every right conscience will say: God forbids this; therefore I may not indulge in such a practice. All that the Catholic Church does is to make quite clear to Catholics that God does forbid it. "SCIENTIFIC METHODS NOW" Q.: Does the Catholic Church disapprove of methods of birth control other than scientific? R.: We are dealing with a question of moral conduct. Science doesn't come into it. If a man robs a bank in a crude. amateurish kind of way, and another man robs another bank with such scientific precautions and methods that even the police have to admire his skill, the fact remains that both are equally guilty of theft. Where birth prevention is concerned, the Catholic Church teaches that God Himself forbids the use of any methods at all, whether scientific or non-scientific, by which people deliberately try to stop conception from occurring where it would otherwise occur. As I have said, the only lawful way to avoid conception is to restrict marital relations to naturally sterile periods when nature itself renders conception unlikely: or, alternatively, to abstain from marital relations altogether by mutual consent until another child is welcome. "MARRYING A BIRTH-CONTROLLER" Q.: Can a Catholic who does not believe in birth control marry a person who does and would expect the Catholic to practise birth control for the first few years of marriage? R.: A Catholic would not be free in conscience to marry another person on the condition of participating in that other person's declared intention of indulging in mortally sinful conduct by contraceptive birth prevention during the first years of the marriage. The Catholic would have to make it clear that the only lawful means of avoiding children would be complete or periodic abstinence from marital relations, that there could be no question of indulging in such relations and then taking positive measures of whatever kind to prevent them from resulting in the conception of a child should nature itself ordain that; and that if these conditions were not acceptable, then the marriage would have ,to be considered "off," and the other person could look elsewhere for a partner. A conscientious Catholic could only say no.

MISSION NOTES By Rev. Father W. J. Foley
VATICAN COUNCIL II: AFRICAN VIEW
Archbishop H y a cinthe Thisandoum of Dakar remarked that at present there are three Council problems of special interest to Africa—the effort to make the whole Church missionary, the desire to free mission territories from any inferiority complex, and the attempt to determine the place of the laity in the Church. The Archbishop added: "It is with gratitude that we watch the efforts of all those who are striving to give missionary dimensions to the whole Church. The moment has come to free the Church in Africa from an inferiority complex, deriving from its very name as a mission territory. Everyone knows that in Africa vocations to the priesthood and to the religious life are constantly on the increase, while the laity has not followed this same rate of growth. The erection of the African hierarchy has helped to awaken the laity to all the problems of the Church and to her very life. We have seen the development of two important attitudes—fidelity to the Christian religion coupled with the fullest accomplishment of civic duties."
A BUDDHIST EXPLOSION
Buddhism is enjoying an over whelming renaissance in Asia— over 155,000,000 Buddhist now outnumbei Catholics by more than four-to-one. This boom can be traced, in part, to the adoption of Buddhism as the State religion by many Asian nations, thus adding patriotism to its religious appeal. Despite the varied types and multitudes of Buddhist followers, Catholic missionaries working in Buddhist countries have the advantage of using the surface similarities between the two religions to attract men to the Church. Buddhist teaching calls for the Christian principles of self-denial and eradication of desire. But Buddhism is essentially pessimistic; it ends in negation and fails to recognise dependence on God. On the other hand, Catholicism, the most optimistic of religions, ends not in negation but in the highest possible desire — "union with Christ."
Canonisation of the 22 Uganda Martyrs will very probably take place during the third session of the Second Vatican Council. The Martyrs, who died for the Faith in 1885 and 1886, were all laymen, most of whom served in the court of King MI.vanza. The extraordinary cure of two White Sisters from pneumonic plague in 1941 has been "duly proved" as the two necessary miracles.

The W.A. Catholic Schools Drama Festival will be held at the Assembly Hall Pier Street Perth on April 15, 16, 17 and 18, the final night and prize distribution being on April 25. Playing and rehearsal time will be advised directly to the schools entered. It is requested that the name of plays and the estimate playing time be advised to Mrs. Burnett 17 Stanley Street, Nedlands within 14 days. The organising committee regret that the number of schools entered for the festival is not as large as in previous years. They think that this may be due to the standard the schools feel that they should achieve to enter the festival. If this is the case it is regrettable as the object of the festival is to encourage the love of the theatre in our Catholic youths. Would any schools who have not yet decided to enter or have any queries at all, please contact Mrs. Burnett on 86 6204 or any of the Therry Committee immediately.

May 1 to counteract the pagan and Godless outlook of so many workers today. POPE JOHN XXIII, in a "Apostolic Letter" to the most kindly and beautiful world on March 19, 1961, traced the beginning and growth of love for St. Joseph in the Church— through the Popes (as above in this article)—adding in his inimitable and loving way that he himself could think of no better Heavenly Patron for all of us, to whom he would like to entrust the great and mighty historical event of the Second Vatican Council, in Christ's Divine Church, than St. Joseph. CONCLUSION: The unspoken purpose a n d point of this artricle is this — In God's Church devotion to St. Joseph is not static. It is moving. It is growing. So, each one of us has, now, to make sure that our devotion to St. Joseph is growing and increasing. The new Devotions each Wednesday night at the Redemptorist Monastery give us this opportunity.

disease was no longer communicable, the priest rented an apartment for him and helped him back on his feet. But more important, he began instructing him in the Faith over a period of two years. It took patience and much charity to overcome the bitterness in his heart. *

A FEW WEEKS before his First Communion, the leper brought three young married women, all ex-fashion models to the priest. One of them had heard about our friend while making a picture about leprosy in Africa. Each of these women (none of them Catholic) took turns bringing him to their homes on weekends. The priest said to them: "I know I love him because he is Christ to me, the Christ Who seemed like a leper on the Cross. I love him because he is a living crucifix, not a plastic one, and every time he comes to my house, he comes as the ambassador of the poor of the world. But tell me, why do you bear him such charity?" They answered: "For the same reason! Christ blesses our homes when he enters." *

IF ONLY we could inspire some of you rich people, who give vast sums of money to those who are al-
ready rich, to give to the poor. Find "Living Crucifixes." There are millions of them in Africa, Asia and Latin America! Christ is in the poor just because they are poor. He is in the rich not because they are rich, but only because they are virtuous! There is a world of difference between the two! Do not waste your money on plastic crucifixes, synthetic Christs. The rich can thank you now, but as Our Lord said: "You have already had your reward." The poor cannot thank you. The Holy Father never tells you whom he helps when you aid him through his Society for the Propagation of the Faith. Therefore, the Lord must thank you—and His thanks is heaven!
