WhilstthePapalEncyclicalscondemnLiberalCapitalism,theydonot defendthealternativesofferedbyFascismorCommunism.Theseviolate thefundamentalrightsoftheindividualcitizenandofthefamily,which, accordingtoCatholicteaching,isthe basisofsociety.In"Quadragesimo Anno"itissaid:"Thetrueaimofall socialactivityshouldbetohelpmembersofthesocialbody,butneverto destroyorabsorbthem."

TheCatholicviewofsocietyisbased upontheindividualman.Godhas createdeachsoulinHisownimage andlikeness,hencethesupremevalue ofhumanpersonality.Manpreceded theStateandevenSociety,and thoughheisasocialanimal,bothState andSocietymustexistforhim.Anythingthatthreatenedhisfundamental dignityasahumanbeingundermines thewholefabricofSociety.Oneattributeofthisdignityisfreedom,freedomtodowhatisrightandtofollow consciencewithoutinterference;anotheristherighttopossessprivate property,

Thelastpointisfrequentlymisinterpreted.HowisitthataChurch whoseMasterhadnowheretolayH's headandbadeafollowersellallhe hadandgivetothepoor,hasrisked beingcountedwiththe"reactionaries' becauseofherdefenceofprivateproperty?Thereasonisthatproperty isasafeguardoffreedom.Thepropertylessmanisthedefencelessman, whetherhismasterbeprivateCapitalistortotalitarianState.TheChurch isunconvincedbytheargumentthatif nobodyownsanything,everybodywill owneverything.Propertywillbe "owned"bythosewhocontrolit,and thepropertylessmanwillbeleftwithoutdefencesandwithnoeconomic buttresstohisindependence.Deprive amanofproperty,andheisopento everykindofexploitation.Walter Lippman,in"TheGoodSociety,' writes:"Communism,whenitabolishes privatepropertyinproductiveCapital, establishesanewkindofpropertyin thepublicofficeswhichmanagethe collectiveCapital.TheCommissars replacetheCapitalists,exercisingthe samepowersorgreaterones,enjoying thesamesocialprivilegesorgreater ones,andthoughtheirmoneyincomesmaybeless,theirluxuriesless florid,theyhaveeverythingthatcould temptthelessfavouredtoenvythem, tochallengethem,andtostriveto replacethem.Thesocialsituationand thepsychologicalmechanismwhich existsto-day,andwhich,accordingto Comunisttheory,dividesocietymto antagonisticclasses,remainintactin theCommunistorder.TheonlydifferenceisthatwhereasunderCapitalism, socialadvantagesgivepoliticalpower, underCommunism,politicalpower givessocialadvantages.Thusthe struggleforwealthistransmittedinto astruggleforpower."

Therighttoprivatepropertyis, therefore,groundedonthenatureof man;itflowsdirectlyfromman'sper. sonality.MonsignorFultonSheen states:"Personalitybecomesacentre aroundwhichthereareanumberof zonesofproperty,someclose,someremote:intheproximatezonescomeour body,food,clothing,habitation,literaryproducts,artisticproductsofone's ownbrainandbands,etc.Inthe outerzonesarethesuperfluitiesand luxuriesoflife.Therighttoownproperty,therefore,doesnotapplyequallytoallthings-rathertherighttopropertyvariesindirectratiowithproximityorremotenesstopersonality:the closerthingsaretoourpersonthe moreprofoundtherightofhaving:the nearerthingsaretoourinnerresponsibility,thestrongerourrighttoownership.Thatiswhythemillionaire's

TheBanningof"Ulysses"

(Severallistenershaveaskedmeto statetheCatholicattitudetoJames Joyce's"Ulysses,"andtocommenton theactionofMr.Harrisoninbanning thebook.Itishopedthatallenquirerswillbesatisfiedwiththefollowing generalstatement.)

Publicauthorityhastheright andthedutytosecurethewell-being ofitscitizens,topromotethegoodof thecommunityasawhole,topreserve themoralstandardswithoutwhich civilisationwouldlapseintosavagery andanarchy,andtofosterreligion whichisthenecessarybasisofmorals.

Andthisrightanddutymustbeexercisedinaccordancewtihthelawof God. Nooneintouchwithrealitieswill denythattherearebookswhichare subversiveofallorderanddecency.

ASERVICETOTHEPUBLIC.

12)TheStatewhich,underpretext ofbeing"democratic,"allowsfullfreedomtotheagenciesofimmoralityand subversionisnotbeingdemocratic.It issimplyfailinginitsdutybothto theCreatorandtoitsowncitizens, betraying trust,andwritingthe sentenceofitsdestructiononthewall ofthefuture-perhapsofthenear future,

(3)Thetheorywhichwouldgive everyoneabsolutefreedomtodowhat hepleaseshasnobasisinreasonor reality,andissynonymouswithanarchy.Freedomisnottherightto dosimplywhatonepleases,butthe righttodowhatoneoughttodo. Whatoneoughttodoisdetermined bythelawofGod,therightsofothers andconsiderationsofthecommon good.Weoughttobefreetoattain ourfinaldestiny,andthereforewe mustbefreetoobservethelawof God,whichisthemeanstoitsattainment.Intheconcretewearefreeto doaswepleasewithinthegeneral frameworkofthelawofGodandthe commongood.Outsidethoselimits thereisnosuchthitukasmoralfreedom.

(4)"Ulysses"isagrosslyobscene andblasphemouswork:theproductof adiseasedandpervertedmind;breathingtheatmosphereofthesewerand thebrothelandofperversionswhich cannotbenamed.

Therefore,inbanningtheimportationof"Ulysses,"theMinisterwas simplydoinghisduty,and,thereby, doingaservicetothepeopleofAustralia.

(Incidentally,ournewspapersdiscreetlypassedoverthefactthatthe bookhaslongbeenbannedinEnglandandCanada.)

ALAMEARGUMENT.

(51Inreplytoanableletterby hopPitcher,publishedinitscolumns onWednesday,October15,the"SydneyMorningHerald"attemptedto answertheissuesraisedbytheBishop bycomparing"Ulysses"withsections oftheBible,andofthewordsofChau. cer,etc.,Shakespeare,etc.,stating thattheobjectionablepassagesin "Ulysses"formbutaninsignificant partofthetext,

Thereis,moreover,nocomparison betweenthetwoclassesofbooks.The Bibleoccasionallydescribesscenesof evil,butdoesnotapproveorcondone evil.

TheworksofShakespeareandothers containmoreorlesssalaciouspassages, buttheyaretheexceptionrather thantherule."Ulysses,"onthecontrary,isfilthyandblasphemousfrom beginningtoend.

ABRIGHTLADFROMTHEUNIVERSITY.

(6)Writingin"BoniSoit"(25/9/41), abrightladfromtheSydneyUniversitywroteasfollows:-

"IfHarrisonwasuncontaminated onreading'Ulysses,'hehadnoreason forbanningit;ifhewascontaminated thenheplacedhimselfinanexquisite. lyhypocriticalandtypicalposition."

"TOTHISPUREALLTHINGSARE PURL"

(7)Perhapsthemostcynicaland hypocriticalofallthereasonsurged againstthebanningofthebookwas theplea:"tothepureallthingsare pure." InhisEpistletoTitus,Bishopof Crete,St.Paulwrote:

"Allthingsarecleantotheclean; buttothemthataredefiledandtounbelievers,nothingisclean;boththeir mindandtheirconsciencearedefiled."

(I.,15.)

ThesewordsofSt.Pauldonotmean thatthosewholeadcleanlivescannot recogniseandcondemnmoralt. whentheyseeit.FortheApostle, whosepurityoflifecannotbequestioned,condemnedinthestrongest termsthevicesandperversionsdescribedwithsuchgustoanddetailby Joyce.Hedeclaredthatservitudeto theseveryviceswasoneofthepunish. mentsofapostasyfromGod.(Rom.

I.,17-32.)

Furthermore,ifthewordsmeant thatforthosewhoarepurethereisno suchthingasimpurity,thenitwould followthatGodwhoisPurityitself, wouldbeunabletoforbidorcondemn theviceofimpurity.

WhatSt.Paulmeantteasthis:All thingscreatedbyGodaregoodin themselves.Thosewholeadgood liveswillneverbecontaminatedbya createdthing,fortheywilluseitasit shouldbeusedinaccordancewiththe lawofGod.Ontheotherhand,those whohavecorruptedtheirownsoulsby infidelityandtheviolationofGod's lawwillpervertanddefileeverything theytouch, Yet,withastupidityoradishonesty whichleaveonespeechless,somepeopledistortthemeaningoftheApostles'wordstojustifyallsortsofmoral perversion.
