TheRomanIndex--AndOthers (Forthe"Record.")

ByIANMACDONALD.

Awriterinarecentnumberofthe "Record"pointedoutthattheworld atlastrecognisesthatthereisvirtue insilence,thequietCatholicpractice oftwentycenturies.

IgivemyselfthehonourofpointingoutanothervindicationofCatholicpractice,namely,theideaofan Indexforharmfulpublications.

Loosethinkersareaptto'dismissthe attitudeoftheChurchinattempting tolimitthereadingofitschildtenas arrogant."Isit,masters?"

Wehaverecentlyhadthenews cabledtous,thatthesaleofabook, "TheWellofLoneliness,"hasbeenprohibitedinEngland.Similaractionis tobetakeninAmerica,andMissHall whowrotethebook,knowswhat MarieCorelliandZolafeltlike.The onlydifferenceintheirseveralsituationsbeingthat,thecondemnationof theformer'sbookcomesfromthe State,whereasthecondemnationof thebooksofthelattertwowriters camefromtheChurch.

TheobjectorstotheRomanIndex areputoutiofcourtimmediatelythat theyadmitthattheState'sIndexcan bebeneficial.Mostpeopledoadmit that.Indeed,publicmeetingshave beenheldinMelbournetourgethe GovernmenttoplacecertainnewspapersontheIndex.Theydidnot usethatword,buttheycalledforthe prohibitionofthesenewspapers-that's anIndex.Theobjectorsweremostly representativesofProtestantbodies, andtheyinterviewedthePremier,and calledonthePostOfficeauthorities, andwhenthesefailed,theRailway Commissionerswereaskedtorefuse thecarriageofsuchpapers,butthey repliedthat,itwasnotintheirpower torefuse.Theseverypeoplewould blametheChurchforputtingabook ontheIndex.

TheStaterightlyforbidsthepublicationandcirculationofbooksthat areseditious,theChurchmorerightly andmoreweightilyforbidsbooksthat areamenacetofaithortomorals.The Mate'sprohibitionofbooksornewspapersisnotcarriedoutlogicallyand regularly,thatoftheChurchismanagedbyexpertswiththecareand cautionwithwhichanyotherdepart. mentoftheChurch'sworkiscarried out,suchforinstanceastheappointmentofBishops.

WhentheChurchforbidsabookto thefaithful,itisalwaysbecauseeither directlyorindirectlyitisagainstfaith ormorals:thereisneveranyother reason.

Insomecasesbooksareforbidden underpenaltyofexcommunicationreservedtothePope,andinsuchcases thebooksarenamedbyLettersApostolic.

Bookswrittenbyhereticsorapostates,indefenceoftheirerrors,are forbidden,butordinarynovelsarenot considered.Novelistsarenotasa ruledeclaredtobeheretics(Idon't knowofone),butthebooksofsome ofthemmaycomeundertheheading ofgeneralcbndemnationofbooks againstfaithormorals.

TheCongregationattheVatican thatcondemnsbooksdoessounder threeheadings:Collectively,partially andparticularly;collectivelyasinthe caseofZola,whosenameappearsthus inthelist:"EmiliusZola-operaornnia";partially,asinthecaseofDumas,whoseobscenitiesandlovestories areforbidden,whereasothersofhis works,suchas"MonteChristo,"areallowedtobereadwithdiscretion;particularly,aswhenthenameofabook isexpresslymentioned,thus:Lamentine:"Jocelyn";"VoyageenOrient," "LaChuted'unAnge."

See,especiallyintheSyllabus.Thirdly,worksthatareopenly'andformallyobscen,atleastinanotablepart oftheirbontents,areforbidden.

Thatistheprogrammeofthe Church'scondemnationofbooks,very fewCatholics(ifany)wouldfeelany privationatsuchcurtailmentoftheir choice.Wehavecurtailedtothatextentalready,andtheIndexistoany decentCatholiconlyawarningaway frompoisonedpastures.

Butitismorethanawarningto thosewhowouldrashlydecidefor themselves,foritisgravelybindingon Catholicstobeledinthismatterby theChurch,whichreallyhasauthoritytoblessandtoban.Wearebound tosubmitinthismatter,andareculpableif'wereadorloanbooksthat havebeenforbiddenbytheCongregationoftheIndex.

IsContraceptionUnnatural?

ANOPENLETTERTO YOUNG AMIE/mixDOCTOR.

To-day,whenIwasarguingagainst theanti-socialpracticeofcontraception,IurgedthecommonChristianargumentthatcontraceptionasameans ofbirth-preventionwasunnatural.

NewLightontheObregonMurder

LIMEXILECTIONISTVENDETTA, AmericanCatholies'Abhorrenceofthe()rime. (FromtheLondon"CatholicHerald.")

Thesupposedreligiouselementinthe Obregonmurderisnowdefinitelyruled outbythosewhoareinapositionto correctlyassessthesignificanceofthe marchofeventsinMexicoCity.

Attentionisdrawntothefactthat Obregonhadmanyenemies,even amongthosewhosupportedhiminhis hostileattitudetowardstheChurch.

TheAnti-Re-electionists,whoregardedhimasatraitortotheRevolution, werefanaticallyopposedtohim.When Gomez,Serrano,andmanyprominent Anti-Re-electionistswereshot,their sympathisersregardedObregpaasa politicalassassin.

TheshootingofObregonhasaroused horroramongUnitedStatesCatholics. Inapubliccondemnationofthecrime, theArchbishopofSanFranciscodescribesitas"anoutrageagainstevery lawofGodandman."

Whileever;authenticpieceofcri dencewhichhascometohandthusfar pointsclearlytotheassassinationof GeneralObrdgon,astheactofademented'fanatic,committedonhisown responsibilityandnotastheoutcome ofaplotofanyfactioninMexico,CatholicsintheUnitedStateshavejoinedwithothersinexpressingabhor-', renceofthecrime.

ArchbishopHanna,ofSanFrancisco, ChairmanoftheNationalCatholicWelfareConference,issuedthefollowing statementwhenapprisedofthecrime:

"TheassasinationofthePresidentelectofMexico,AlvaroObregon,will bedeploredbythewholecivilised world.Itisanoutrageagainstevery lawofGodandman.Myuttercondemnationofitandallconnectedwith itcannotbemadetooemphatic."

ADeplorableAct.

FatherWilfredParsons,editorof "America,"likewisedeclaredoftheassassination:"Itis,indeed,deplorable." Heexpressed.thebeliefthatObregon's electionhad"furnishedhopeofbetter daysforCatholicityinMexico,"and thathisdeathhas"sadlymuddled"the situation.

"I Obregonasonewho desiredpeaceforopportunistreasons, hesaid."HisdeathleavesMorones intheforefrontpolitically,andhehas alwaysadheredtoCalles'policies.Undersuchconditions,thereisless groundforhopethanformerly."

"Understand,though,"FatherParsonsadded,"Idonotthinkthefutu-e isentirelyhopeless."

BailedPrelate'sStatement.

Canes'UnfottodedStatement.

PresidentCalles'statementthatthe assassinwarinspiredby"religiousfanaticism,"andhismou_riousassertion thatthereisinvolved"clericalaction inthiscrime,"aretakenhere"witha grainofsalt."

Whiletheman'sindividual"religious fanaticism"is,perhaps,anopenquestion,itmustberepeatedthatthereis absolutelynoauthenticatedevidenceof clericalimplication.

ItissignificantthatCallesgivesno supportingevidencewhateverforeither assertion,andalsothatthesetwobrief referencestoareligious.motivearethe onlyonesinanunusuallylongstatement.

SomeherebelieveCallesmerely soughtsomeoneonwhomtofastenthe crime.Otherssaythathiswords "clericalaction"referredtosupposed militantmembersoftheclergyandthe effecttheirattitudemighthavehad onadistortedmind. TheChurch'sPosition.

Asforthepositionoftheauthorities oftheCatholicChurchwithregardto physicalviolence,BishopDiazhasstateditmorethanonce.InFebruary, whenthepolice,apparentlywiththe consentandapprovalofCalles,chargedthattheBishopofSanLuisPotosi hadbeenappointedbythePopetodirecta"crusadeofholywar"inMexico, andthathewasthe"directorofavast conspiracyandinstigator.oftheRevolution,"BishopDiazdeclared: "Thereferencetothecrusadeofa 'holywar'is'absurdandlaughable.The onlycrusadewhichthePopehasundertakenbeforetheworld,hasbeen thecrusadeofprayerandofpenance fortheChurchpersecutedinMexico. withnootherintentionthanthatthose whoexercisecivilauthorityinMexico opentheireyesandseehaweasyit wouldbetocorrectthesituationwhich exists."

Thereismuchreason,ontheother, hand,tolooktopoliticsforamotive, andleadershereareinclinedtowards thetheoryofpolitics.Thegeneralimpressionofthoseherewhohavelooked intothe'matter.isthattheyouthful assassinwasnotonlyafanatic,butdefinitelyunsoundmentally.Thisview isbasedonthetestimonyofthosewho haveseenandobservedhim.

Whetheranattemptisbeingmade todraginreligionornot,leadershere havemostcertainlylookedchieflyto thepoliticalsituationastheprobable sourceoftheassassin'smotive-andit isnotedthatMexicansinotherlands takeasimilarview.WhenValdez RamirezandAurelioManrique,thelatteramemberofCongress,pronounced theirfuneralorationsoverObregon's bodyattherailwaystation,bothurged thatMexicanpoliticSshouldbecleansedasaresultofthe-crime,indicating definitelytheirbeliefthatpoliticswas atthebaseofthe deed.

Obregon,itmustberemembered, hadmanythousandsofenemieson otherthanthereligousscore.The Anti-Re-electionists,whoregardedhim asabasetraitortothemostcherished principleoftherevolutionwhenheacceptedre-election,werefanaticallyopposedtohim.WhenGomezandSerrano,theAnti-Re-electionchiefs,and scoresoftheirfriendswereshot,they leftalargegroupofrelativesandthousandsofadherentswhoheldObregon tobeapoliticalassassin,sincethat slaughterclearedthewayforhisreelectionwithoutopposition.Norisit tobeforgottenthatObregonwithin recentmonthsopenlyscornedthepowerfulMorones.leaderof'labourand hisgroup,andinvitedthemtoleave thepoliticalfield,inwhichtheyhad beenprominentandsuccessful.MoronesandhisLabouritesacceptedthe challengeandpledgedthemselvesto diefortheirconvictions.Hatredof Obregondoubtlessinspiredtheiract.
