OutlinesofCatholicTeachingon thisVitalQuestion

ABUSESQUICKTOENSUE,THE PASSIONISHARDTOCONTROL ANDTERRIBLEINTHERUIN ITEFFECTS.

(ByRev.T.J.Campbell,S.J.).

Itissomewhatdifficulttodojusticetothissubjectintherestricted spaceofanarticle,butthegeneral outlinesofCatholicteachingonthis veryvitalandactual,questionofthe daymaybegiven.

Gambling,properlyso-called,is riskingmoneyongamesofchance, wherethereisnothingbutchanceto bereckonedwith,asinthrowingdice orwherescienceandskillafforda basisofcalculation,asinbilliards, orwhistandthelike.

Tothequestionisitwrong,moralistsgenerallyspeakinganswerinthe negative.Imayshocktimidsoulsat first,buteveninthrowingdicethere isnothingPerseagainstthemoral law.IfIcangiveawaymymoney whenandinwhatwayIchoose, thereisnothingtopreventmefrom makingsuchdisposalofitdependon theturningupofthreespotsinstead ofsix.Itisliketossingupacoin toseewhichroadIshalltake.

Butthemoralityofanactisnot tobemeasuredbytheactalone. Thecircumstancesmustbeconsiderde. Especiallyingamingthere mustbewhatTheologianscallthe virtueofeutrapeliaormoderation. Hencethestakingifcxtravagant sumsonagamewouldbewrong, andconsequentlywhentheEpiscop alianPastorattheNarragansett Pierishaledbeforethepublicas saying"IfIhad100,000dollars tospend,itisnobody'sbusiness howIspendit,"hemusthavebeen misquoted.Itcertainlyissomebody'sbusinessifthemoneyis thrownawayrecklesslyorspentfor somesillyorimmoralpurpose. Secondly,themoneystakedona gamemustbelongtotheplayer.A lawyercannotputupthemoneyof hisclient,noraclerkthatof his employer,norcanamanrunthe

Thirdly,aPlayermustbePerfectlyfreetoplay.Hecannotbeinveigledorforcedintothegameand itwouldbemanifestrobberyfora mantogamblewithanotherwhois undertheinfluenceofliquor-aneasy Possibilityingamblinghouseswhere theliquidsflowfreelyforvisitors, andwheretheprofessionalplayeris usuallyaIranofabstemioushabits.

Fourthly,allcheatingandtrickery mustbedebarred,thoughtheusual andacceptedrusesofthegameare notforbidden.

Finally,theremustheequalitybetweentheplayers,atleast,when thereismoneyststake.Conspicuoussuperiorityinaplayerofwhich hisopponentisunawarewould,of course,befraud. Iftheseconditionsareobserved gamingisPermissible.Butaseveryoneknows,intheroughandtumbleoflife,especiallyinthelifenot onlyofaprofessionalgambler,but ofthosewhoareinordinatelyaddictedtoplay,thesesafeguardsareusuallysweptaway.Thefuryofthe gameandtheeagernesstowin,especiallywhenthestakesarehigh, willmakeshortworkofcodesof honourandscruplesofconscience. Indeed,thereisnothingelseresultingfromgamblingbutthedevelopmentofafierceuncontrollablepassionthatalonewouldbesufficient tomakerepeatedandprotracted cardplayingadangerouspastime.

Thepassiondevelopswithdreadful rapidity,andinsomecountriesits ravagesareworsethanthose of drink. Itinvolvesascandalous wasteoftimeandaneglectofthe mostsacredobligationsoflife it easilyleadsanunsuccessfulplayerto crimetorecouphislosses,andthe sequelofitallistoofrequentlythe felon'scellorthesuicide'sgrave. Hence,althoughacademically,andin theabstract,gamblingmaybePermissible,andallthequalifyingconditionsmaybeobserved,yet,inthe concreteandconsideringmenasthey are,itmeansruin.Norcanthere heanydoubtthatthecivilauthoritywhichhasforceduponitthe knowledgeofthedishonesty,fraud, strifeandcrimethataccompanycertainkindsofplay,hasnotonlythe rightbutthedutytoforbidthem, andthatacorrespondingdutyensuesonthePartofthepeopleto obey.

Astothepublicgaminghouses, Catholictheologiansagreethattheir

proprietorsareguiltyofthemost grievoussinofscandalandofcooperationincrime.Thesameis trueofthosewhocontributemoney toformgamblingclubswhichare public,orequivalentlyso. Lotteriesarenotinthemselves wrong,providedaProperrationis observedbetweenthemoneypaid, theprizeofferedandthehopeof winning.Somemaintainthatthe profitofthelotteryshouldnotexceedthemarketvalueoftheobjects playedfor,butothersregardthis asrigorism,andrequireonlyanequalchanceforallcontestants,along withahopeofwinningwhichvaries withtheamountinvested.Others willhaveitthatinlotteriesfor benevolentpurposesthepurchaseof ticketsismerelyacharitablecontributionforthecause,andhaslittleornohopeattachedtoitofa returr.fortheinvestment.Nevertheless,althoughnotintrinsically wrong,lotterieshaveledtosuch graveabusesthatinmanycountries theyareforbidden. Inthegame ofpolicy,forinstance,itisofcommonknowledgethatpoorpeople whoareotherwisemostestimable willsometimesevenselltheirbed clothestopurchaseaticket.

Whatistrueofgamblingingeneral isalsotrueofthespeculativedealingsofexchanges.Theyleadto thedisturbanceofthenaturalprices ofcommoditiesandsecurities, do graveirjurytoproducersandconsumers,andarefrequentlytheresultofmostdishonestmethodsin influencingthemarket. TheCatholicsentimentwithregardtoanotherkindofgantbling, whichisnotPractised,inwhatare properlycalled"hells,"butinwhat haveceasedtoIlec-11'd ; whenwomen,evenmothersoffamilies,andyounggirlsspendwhole daysandnightsatcards,isPretty wellknown.Ithasbeendenounced againandagaininmostwithering languagebyapreacherwhosereputationisworld-wide. Amanwho gamblesisbadenough.hatriwomangamblerisindescribable. Fromveryearlytimesgambling wasforbiddenbyCanonLaw.Two oftheoldestamongtheso-calledcanonsoftheApostlesforbadegames ofchance,underPainofexcommunicationtoclergyandlaityalike.The CouncilofElvirain3o6excluded fromtheChurchforoneyearanyoneguiltyofgernhline..TheLateranCouncilin1213forbadeclerics tobepresentatgamesofchance.

TheCouncilofTrentcommanded'the ancientCanonstobeobserved,and otherparticularCouncilsdeclared thatplayingatdiceandcardswas unbecomingandforbiddentoclerics. Therewassomediscussionasto whetherornotevenchesswasforbidden.
