ItisnoteworthythatDr.Oxnamwasaddressinga meetingarrangedbythePlannedParenthoodAssociation. Itmayalsobewelltoremarkinpassingthattheplans ofthemoderncosmicdesignersareallformulatedbythemselvesforothers,suchassterilisation,euthanasia,etc.In thequestionofmarriage,however,theprimarypurpose ofwhichisthepro-creationofchildren,itmightbe thoughtthatGod'splanforhumanlife,manifestedclearlythroughtheNaturalLaw,wouldreceivesomeconsiderationifnotfirstpriority.Butitwasnotso.Godand commonsensewereamongthe"also-rans."Dr.Oxnam, althoughheattackedtheCatholicattitude,didnotbother toacquainthimselfwithit,forhespokeofthe"Roman Catholicinsistenceoncontinenceastheonlyvirtuousmethodofspacingchildren."Thisiswilfulmisrepresentation,astheChurchpermitstheuseofthe'so-called"safe period"forsufficientreason.ButDr.Oxnamwasnot chieflyconcernedwithmoralsatall,butwith"spacing." Heinformedhishearersthatthe"normal"family shouldbecomposedof3-6children.Thebearingof20 childrenwascondemnedbytheBishopas"sinful."

Itisremarkablehowmodernchurchmenandintellectualscancontinuetoregardpregnancyasadiseaseata timewhenthedemocracies'fallingbirth-ratesthreaten theireconomicproductionandtheirpowerofdefence,to saynothingoftheirmoralintegrity.InviewoftheBishop'sdistortions,itmaybewelltorepeatthattheCatholicChurchcompelsnomarriedcoupletohavechildren iftheyhavegoodreasonstheymayrestricttheirfamily bynaturalmeans,suchascontinenceortheuseofthe "safeperiod."ButneitherCatholicsnoranyoneelse ispermittedwantonlytointerferewithnaturalprocesses.

WhyCatholicsAbstain FromMeatonFridays

"TwoWanderers,"WestPerth, write: ":Wearetwobusinessgirls, whoshareaflatwithaCatholicgirl.OnFridayswealwayshavefishfortea,asa matterofconvenience,instead ofpreparingtwodishes.However,thequestionis:Whydo Catholicsrefrainfromeating meatonFridays?Ourfriend isunabletoenlightenus.We failtoseehowanyoneisdoingthistodeprivehimselfof something,asfishis,asfaras costgoes,aluxuryitem." A.Bothofyou,"TwoWanderers,"seemtobeobligingand considerateyoungladies.You showthisbyyourrespectfor theconscienceofyourCatholic friend,andmakeiteasyforher torefrainfromeatingmeaton Fridays.

YouaskwhyCatholicsrefrain fromeatingmeatonFridays. Well,Catholicsrecognisethat theirChurchhasauthorityfrom Godtomakelawsforthespiritualgoodofhermembers.They rememberthatOurLordsaidof HisChurch,"Hethatheareth you,hearethMe,andhethatdespisethyou,despisethMe."In ordertohelpustoremember withgratitudewhatOurLord didandsufferedtoredeemus onGoodFriday,inordertoremindusthatwemustoftenbe readytorefrainfromdoing thingswhichwefeellikedoing, andthatwemustoftendothings whichwefeeldisinclinedtodo, theChurchordersusCatholics torefrainfromeatingmeaton Fridays.Thiscommandmentof theChurchdoesmakeusrememberthatonFridayOurLord showedthegreatnessofHis loveforusbygiving,Hislife onthecrosstoredeemandsave us;itdoesremindusthatwe oughttohonourGodbyliving goodlivesandkeepingtheCom-

"TwoWanderers"saythat theyfailtoseehowanyonewho doesthisisdeprivinghimselfof something,becausefishisdearer thanmeat.Refrainingfrom meatforthereasonsgivenabove isanactofobedience,anactof fidelitytotheChurch,and,despitetheobjectionsof"Two Wanderers,"thevastmajority ofmenandwomendofindita smallefforttorefrainfrommeat eachFriday.Anicepieceof fish,servedatdinnerbeforethe servingofmeat,isinthenature ofaluxury,butmoatpeople wouldexperiencethefeelingof avoidifthedinnerendedatthe fish.

Inaninterviewwitha"CatholicWeekly"(Sydney)reporter, theChiefWorldGuidesaidrecentlythatCatholicgirlswho joinedProtestantcompanies werenotstaunchCatholics.

AsGuidingwasintendedto helpyoungpeopleleadafull, richerlifeinspiredwithhigh Weals,girlswhowerenotthe bestCatholicscouldnotbegood guides,shesaid.

Nevertheless,thefactthatso manyCatholicgirlswerejoining thesecompanieswasanindicationthatGuidingwasaneed amongCatholics.Onlythelack ofCatholicGuideleadershad preventedtheestablishmentof theCatholicGuideMovement yearsago.

Askedhowmuchtrainingwas necessarytoqualifyasaleader, LadyBaden-Powellsaidthat trainingwasnotessential.The onlyrequirementofaleaderwas thedesiretodosomethingfor herreligion,andhercountry,by helpingitsyoungpeoplegrow toidealcitizenship.

Andanywomanwiththisdesire,whethershebe18or81,is eligibleasaleaser,theChief WorldGuideadded.
