A:Inarecentnumberof "Politicad'Oggi."theItalianChristianDemocraticreview,Iteniamino Palumbo,writingonthehistoryof theChristianDemocraticparties, declared:

"Theircharacteristicisthevindicationoflayresponsibilityinthe fieldofpoliticalandsocialactiontheautonomyoftheparty."

Toclarifyhispointhequoted anarticlewhichappearedinthe Catholicorgan,"L'Azione,"during theearlydaysofthemovement (October6,1942):

Thefactremains,however,that thesepartiescallthemselves "Christian":InItalytheparty nameis"ChristianDemocratic"; inGermany,the"ChristianDemocraticUnion";inFrance,M.R.P. referstoitselfas"apartyof ChristianDemocraticinspiration"; inBelgium,itisthe"Christian SocialParty,"etc.Thisadoption ofthename"Christian"isobviouslythecrucialquestionfordeterminingwhetherornottheyare "denominational." Themeaningof"Christian"as joinedwith"democracy"todesignateapoliticalpartyhasbeenexplainedbyDonSturzo,whofor thelastfiftyyearshasbeenthe leadingexponentoftheprinciples ofChristianDemocracy.

"WhenwesayChristianDemocracy,"hewrites(the"AveMaria," April15,1944),weusetheterm "democracy"todenoteapolitical regimeandtheterm"Christian"to signifythemorallawandspiritual valuesuponwhicheveryworthwhilepoliticalsocietymustbe built,

MORALEMS.

"Acitizenwithamoralconcept oflifeandwithmoralstandards mustdohisutmosttoleadamoral politicallife.Toachievethat,the workmustbedoneinthenameof moraldemocracy(wesayChristian Democracy,becauseChristianityis thehighestmoralconceptionof life.).Thusitwillbepossibleto affirmthisideal,notinthename ofanyorganisedChurchinterferinginpoliticallife,butinthe nameofthecitizensofamodern democraticState."

"ThenecessityfortheautonomyoftheCatholiclaityinitspoliticalandeconomicworkmustbe clearlyshownwithbothreasonand facts.Theclergyhasthehighest spiritualproblemstobeconcerned with.whicharethoseofeducating thereligiousconscience.Thelaity hastoworkinthesecularfield, inspiredbytheChurch,butleft freeundertheirownresponsibilitytoapplywellorpoorlythe Christianspiritintherealityof theworld,"

B:Thesameconcerntomark theindependenceofChristianDemocracyfromtheChurchhasalso beenshownbythePopes.Onthe eveofthefoundationoftheItalian PopularParty(precursorofthe presentChristianDemocratic Party),PopeBenedictXV.twice emphasisedthedifferencebetween thesphereofCatholicActionin publiclife.whichismoralonlyand subjecttotheChurch,andthe politicalactionofCatholics,which isindependent(December,1918, andJanuary,1919).

TOAVOIDCONFUSION.

Toavoidanyconfusion,Don LuigiSturzo,thefounderofthe PopularParty,andmanyofits leaderswithdrewfromtheorganisationofofficialCatholicAction ("theparticipationandthecollaborationofthelaitywiththe ApostolicHierarchy"inthework oftheChurch),aswasnotedby PopePiusXI.inhisdefenceof CatholicActionasnon-political(in theEncyclical,"Nonabbiamobisogno").

C:TheattitudeoftheChurch itselftowardspoliticalactionis suchastodemandtheindepen-

Theessentialfunctionofthe term"Christian"asusedtoname th6sedemocraticpartiesisthus toemphasisetheprimacyofmoralityinpoliticallifeandtoraisea standardtowhichallmenofgoodwillcanrepair.

III.-MEMBERSHIP.

WhileCatholicscomposethe greatmajorityoftheChristianDemocraticparties,ChristianDemocracyappealsforsupport,noton thebasisofreligion,butonthe basisofitspoliticalprogrammefor theachievementofdemocracy.

INTER-SCHOOLSTOURNAMENT.

TheChristianBrotherspupils werefavouredwithdelightfulweatherfortheirannualtournament heldatNorthPerthtenniscourts onThursday,April18.ThestandardofplaywasaboutthehighestinthehistoryoftheAssociation,andshowsthatthepupilsof ourCatholicCollegesarebeing coachedscientifically.Although thepupilsofC.B.H.S.,Highgate. hadanotherconvincingwin(this wasthefifthinsuccession)most ofthegamesandsetswereclosely contested.TheHighgateboys wontheaggregateshield,alsothe openandunder13sections.but theLeedervilleboys,withsome verypromisingunder15boys, werebestinthatsectionofthe competition.

Probablythemostinteresting matchofthedayoccurredinthe under15section.whentheunder 14Statechampion,LFinnigan, ofHighgate,wasnarrowlydefeatedbyB.Murdoch,ofLeederville.Thestandardinthisgame ,wasparticularlyhighforyoung boys,andheldtheattentionof thespectatorstothelastgame. Otherboystodowell,winningall theirsinglesanddoublesmatches wereV.Finnigan,J.Davidson,A. UrquhartandG.Burton,ofHighgate,andH.Quain,ofSt.Patrick's.Thefinalaggregatescores were:-

Highgate,14*sets150games.

Leederville,10sets107games.

St.Patrick's,3sets56games.

Theplayerswere:-

Religiousfaithisnotthebasis ofmembership,andCatholicsare Peetojoinotherparties.

Ofcourse.ChristianDemocrats donotconcealthefactthatthey advocatetherecognintionofreligiousvaluesinpubliclife,and thisatoncedistinguishesthem fromthosepartieswhichtendto makeoppositiontoreligionapoliticalissue.

Respectforreligioninpubliclife isnotadvocated,however.onadenominationalbasis,Thisisevident fromthefactthatinthosecountrieswhicharenotpredominantly Catholic,ChristianDecomcraahas numberedamongitsfollowersJews andProtestantsaswellasCatholics,whichisnowtrue,forinstance,ofM.R.P.inFrance.
