FourAspectsofNarrowMindedness

LOGICALEXTREMESOFPURITANISM

Puzzled,"Wooroloo,writes; iiillyoupleasedefineforme justwhattheCatholicChurch termsas'flarrow-minelednes.s. and'broad-mindedness'"?

A.Youaskmetodosomething impossible.Itislikeaskingme tosaywhattheChurchmeans bytheexpressions"inferiority complex,"'one-trackmind,"pigheaseetinesse"adecentsort,""a roughdiamond,"andsoon.The tattisthattheChurch,inits officiallanguage,doesnotuse thesewords.Theyareuseful words,inventedbyordinarypeopletodescribecertainpsychologicaltendencies,orcertaintraits ofhumancharacter.Theydo not,properlyspeaking,standfor anythinginthatdomainoffaith andmoralswithwhichthe Churchisconcernedandabout whichitdeliversitsjudgment.

Youwrite:

"Peoplearesometimesheardto dismisssuchandsuchaperson asbeing`narrow-minded,'and implythatheorsheisapoor type,whilebeing'broad-minded'winscommendation."

A,:Theword"broad-minded" Ismeant,ofcourse,asacompliment,and"narrow-minded"is meantastheopposite.Nobody likestobethought"narrowminded;"and,ontheotherhand, ehenamaniscalled"broadminded,"hefeelsaglowofsatisfactionandpride.Thatmeans thatthesewords,inspiteofall theirvaguenessandthebewilderingvarietyofusestowhichthey areput,areconnectedwithcertainhumanqualities,oneamiable andtheotherthereverse.Let usseewhattheserealqualities are.Oncewehavefixedon them,weneedn'tbothermuch Boutthewordsthatdescribe them,andifpeopleliketomake "broad"and"narrow-mindedness"meansomethingelse,we shallbecontenttoletthemhave thewordwhileweconcernourselveswiththereality.

CONFUSIONOVER EXTERNALS.

Letusstartwithnarrowmindedness.Onceweseewhat thatis,wehardlyneedbetold whatbroad-mindednessis.In moralmatters,thenarrow-mindedpersonisonewhomixesup thingswhicharequitedifferentmeansandends,appearanceand reality,useandabuse,controlled pleasureandirresponsibleselfindulgence.ThusthePharisees criedoutagainstChristwhenHe

healedthemaimedordiseasedon theSabbath,becausethishada slenderappearanceofinfringing theSabbathlaws.They00jectedtoHismixingwithsinners because,forpeoplewhojudged byappearances,thisseemsto lendcountenancetosin.The sameinaneconcentrationonexternalsandmereappearances oftenmarksthepuritan'sattitude,say,todramaandliterature.Thedramatist,Bernard Shaw,earlierinthiscentury causedagreatflutterinmany dove-coteswhenheintroduced whatweshouldcall"thegreat Australianadjective"intohis play"Pygmalion."Andwehave heardofcensorsandcritics,who havemadeagreatfussovera ordlikethisinotherwriters' playsorbooks,andseemedto putitonthecomelevelas blatantimmoralityofoutlook, morbidsuggestiveness,insidious philosophy,andsoonThatis thatImeanbymixingupappearanceandreality.Itisone eerycommonformofnarrowlyindedness.

"WOWSERISM."

Anotherformisusuallyknown "wowserism."Itarisesfrom aconfusionoftheuseandabuse ofsomethingwhichisgoodor indifferentinitself.The"wowser"thinksthereissomething evilaboutbeerbecausesomepeoplegetdrunk;hethinksbetting isimmoral,becausewithsome peopleitbecomesanuncontrollablepassion.Examplesspring readilyenoughtomind.Letme recallthecaseofGeneralGrant, famousleaderoftheNorthern armyintheAmericanCivilWar. TheAmerican"wowsers"asked thegreatAbrahamLincolnfor Grant'sdismissalbecausehewas knowntodrinkwhisky.That washisgreatcrime:notthathe dranktoomuchbutthathe drankatall.The"wowsere criticsgotwhattheydeserved: Lincolnadvisedthemtogivethe restofhisgeneralswhiskyto seewhetherthatwouldmake themwintheirbattlesasGrant waswinninghis.

ANICOTINENARRATIVE.

Evensmokinghascomeunder the"wowser's"taboo.Itisnot soverymanyyearsagothata well-knownscholarandminister ofreligioninoneofthecolleges ofanAustralianuniversity,had tofaceadeputationfromhis religiousassociates,andfound himselfcalledtoorderforthe

disedificationhehadcaused throughhisfondnessforhispipe. (Ibelieve,however,thatthis reverendgentlemanwasonetoo manyforhissober-mindedadmonitors.Thestorygoesthat hetookaplugoftobaccofrom hispocketandsaid:"Gentlemen, IpromiseyouthatwhenIhave 'finishedthisplug,Ishallput awaymypipeforever."He wasverycarefultofinishthat plug.Tenyearsorsolaterit easstillboundupintissuepaper .I1hissafe,butduringthose yearshispipehadstillburned leerrilyonwithfuelsupplied frominnumerableotherplugs.)

PRUDISHNESS.

Narrow-mindednessonmatters thathavetodowithsexiscertainlynotacharacteristicofour generation.Butinthelastcenturyanover-delicacythatbecame sheerprudishnessdiddevelopfor awhileinthePuritanpartor

NorthAmerica.Peoplewentso farastospeakaboutlady-dogs andgentlemen-dogs,aboutlady horsesandgentlemen-horses,becausethegoodhonestEnglish wordsforthesethingssounded ,soindelicate.Thelimitwas reachedIbelieve,whentheword "leg"wasruleroutasoffensive. Vomen,particularly,didnotdare havelegs;theyonlyhad''netherlimbs."Peopleevenspoke aboutthe"nether-limbs"ofa piano!

PHOBIAOFFOREIGNERS.

Tomakethiscatalogueofnarrow-mindedtypesreasonably complete,somementionoughtto bemadeofthepeoplewhothink allforeignerseitherroguesor degenerates.Letmerefer brieflytotheextremeexample reportedduringthelastwar.A manfromatorpedoedshipwes beinghoistedalongwithothers intoalifeboat,whenhesuddenly perceivedthathisrescuerswere Italians.Disdainingtoberescuedby"Dagoes,"heslidback fromthegunwailintothewater andwasdrowned.Thatsounds incredible,Iknow,butthereportwasallowedtostand.

When"Broad-Minded" MeansSpirituallyFlabby

ALLMORALPERFECTIONINCHRIST

Youv -rite:

"Wouldyousaythatabroadmindedpersonhadagreatadvantageoveranarrow-minded 1-ersononthewaytoheaven?'

A.:Ifyoumeanby"broadmindedness"somethingwhichis opposedtothekindofmoraland mentalmyopiawhichhavejust beendiscussing,thenIshould saythatthebroad-mindedpersondoeshaveacertainadvantage,becausehedoesnotwaste hisenergyonnon-essentials,and becausehepreservesasenseof spiritualfreedomandspontaneeswhichcontributestospiritual health.However,Irathergatherfromyourletterthatyouare thinkingof"broad-mindednesse and"narrow-mindedness"ina somewhatloosersensethanthe enewhichIhavebeentryingto dente.Itisafactthatmany peopleglossoverdirectbreaches ofthemorallawbysayingthat theytakea'broad-minded"view ofthings.Thepeoplewhoobjectarethennaturallycalled "narrow-minded."Inthissense youcouldcallHenryVIII.or Bluebeardratherbroadmindedon thequestionofwives.The swindlerorcommonthiefwould bebroadmindedonthequestion ofprivateproperty;andthe drunkardbroadmindedon the matterofdrink.Obviouslythis isanabuseofwords.Ifyouare tobecalled"narrowrminded"becauseyourefusetodegradeyoqr humannatureanddeflectyour willfromGod'sdesign,thenby allmeansbewillingtobecalled "narrow-minded."Ifthatis whattheymeanbynarrow-mind-

edness,thennarrow-mindedness isanobleanddifficultvirtue.I knowthatnowadaysaChristian manorwomanwhoobjects,for inrtance,toanyofthefashioeableformsofsexualsiniscalled anarrow-mindedprude.Imight recallthatinthegreatnovelsof Englishliteraturethisisthe wordthatharlotsandstreet' womenuseofhonestgirlsand wives.

FALSEMEANINGOFTERM.

Byallmeansbebroad-minded, aslongasthatwordstandsfor thereasonable,judicious,sane behaviour,asopposedtofanaticism,superstition,"wowserism," andmoralshort-sightedness.But ifbroad-mindednessmerelymeans spiritualflabbiness,inabilityto distinguishrightandwrong,or helplesssurrendertomoodsor passions,then,forheaven'ssake cultivatetheoppositevirtueof narrotteness-andletpeoplecall itwhattheylike.

IGNORANCEOFTRUTH.

ChurchProspects inIndonesia

ROME-ThechiefproblemoftheChurchinthenew FederationoftheUnitedStatesofIndonesiawillbethe trainingofanativeclergy,buttheoutlookisbright,observedArchbishopdeJonghed'Ardoye,ApostolicDelegateintheIndonesianArchipelago,duringhisrecentvisit hereonhiswaytoBelgium.

TheArchbishopspokeofthe revolutionthatisnowtaking placeparticularlyamongthe youthofIndonesia,andofthe effortsofCommunismtowin themover.

"Amongapopulationof'12,000,000,"hesaid,"wehaveabout 000,000Catholics.TheChristianancestryofsomeofthem goesbacktothe16th.century. UndertheDutchoccupationevangelisationwaspracticallyparalysed,butnowwiththeindependenceofIndonesiaanewopportunityopensupforthe Church.

NATIVECLERGYNEEDED.

"Ourweakestlineisthelack ofanativeclergy.Thereare only67Indonesianpriests,40of whomaremembersofreligious communities.Thenumberis quiteinadequateforaterritory thatstretchesadistanceequivalenttothatfromLondontoStalingrad.Butweareconcentratingondevelopmentofthenative clergyandwiththeoutlookfor freedomoftheChurchwemay confidentlyexpectgreatstrides intheevangelisationoftheIndonesianpeople."

REDS'PROGRESS.

OntheproblemofCommunisminIndonesia,Archbishop d'ArdoyesaidthatCommunism hasmadeprogressandiswell organisedandwell-financed.The disciplesofMarx,hesaid,have foundthesoilwellpreparedby thesufferingsofwarandoccu-

potion,bythepresenceofgreat wealthsidebysidewithgreat poverty,bystarvationwagesand insecurity.

SIMILARITIES.

"Itissometimessaidthat Communismcannotsucceedin Moslemcountries,"Archbishop d'Ardoyesaid,"butitisgoing alongwithsuccessontheIslands ofJavaandofModoera,where v'rtuallyallofthe46,000,000inhabitantsareMoslems.There isaresemblancebetweenthe holywarandthebattleofclasses.
