Asapriest,andthereforeanambassadorofChrist,Imaybepermitted toutterbrieflyweightywordsofwarning-toCatholicdoctorstoenablethem todischargefaithfullyandwithfruit theonerousdutiesoftheirresponsible profession,"declaredCanonHannonrecentlyattheSolemnPontificalHigh MasscelebratedinSt.David'sCathedralbytheArchbishopofCardifffor theCatholicdoctorsattendingtheannualconferenceheldatCardiffofthe BritishMedicalAssociation.

'Inthefirstplace,continuedCanon Hannon,"rememberthatyourcalling ashealersofthesickisasacredcalling,andcomesnextinimportanceto thesacredpriesthooditself.Likea priest,youenterintotheinnersanctuaryofthehumansoul.Youtouch lifeatitsmostvitalandmomentous issues.Youusherthesoulintothis world,youescortittotheverythresholdofthenext.

"Secondly,rememberyouarethe custodiansofthenation'shealth.On thehealthofthenationdependmany things,butmostofallitsreligiouslife andsupernaturaloutlook.Theappealofreligion,beingbasedonreason andfaith,requiresinitsvotariesunimpairedfacultiesandsoundconditions ofmindandbody.Disease,mental weakness,andbodilyinfirmity,though oftenutilised'bythesaintstotheir greatergloryandmerit,arenotideal conditionsforthenurtureofthespirituallife.

"Again,asmembersofaninfallible teachingChurch,youhaveadutyto sanctifyyourprofessionandkeepit

FatherHannonreferredtocertain measurescondonedbynon-Catholic membersofthemedicalprofession,and wenton:

"Propagandaofthiskind,dearbrothers,is,asyouknow,anoutrageonhumannature,achallengetotheDivine Law,andtheprolificsourceofmany moralandsocialevils,bothfortheindividualandthecommunity.Anynationwhich.suffersthisMassacreofits Innocents,andbutchersitsweakand defenceless,isheadingfortheabyss.
