LordBeveridge ModifiesHisPlan

Accordingtoaprecisofthe ThirdBeveridgeReport,just published,theauthorclaimsthat theState"shouldencouragevoluntaryactionofallkindfor socialadvancement."Thereporturgestheencouragementof friendlysocieties,co-operationof publicauthorities,andvoluntary agencies.

Thisdocumentisthesequelto thefamousBeveridgePlanissued in1942,whichwashailedwith moreenthusiasmthanintelligent criticismbypracticallyeveryoneexceptCatholicsociologists. Thepressintonedsomeparticularlysillypanegyrics,asifBeveridgehadproducedbothanoracleandapanacea.

TheCatholiccriticismofthe BeveridgePlanandofmany othermeasuresdesignedtoestablish"socialsecurity,"isthatthey areservileintheirmethodsand necessarilyonlytemporaryplastersontheevilsofpovertyand insecurity.Manyarealreadyin processofprovingthemselvesno betterthandevicesfortherestorationofslavery.

Appealing the.BritishGovernmenttoimplementtheproposalsinhissocialsecurityplan, SirWilliamBeveridgein1942 claimedthat'hewasnotasked todesignthewholesuitbutonly thetrousers.

Now,thatispreciselymyobjectiontothisandsimilarkinds ofservilecure-alls.SirWilliam Beveridgeundoubtedlymadethe trousers,butwithoutanyreferencetothefigureofhumansocietytheywouldhavetofit.But moreextraordinarilystill,he 'tieapairoftrouserswithout anythoughtofthecoatandother accessories.Hemadethemwithoutadvertencetothefullstature ofman.Hencenoonehastitle tosurpriseifthetrousersalready appearshinyonthesurface,a trifleshortinthelegs,andalittle

However,whileLordBeveridge isworthyofcommendationfor thisratherobviousproposal,his viewsonfamilylifedonotawakenanypronouncedenthusiasm.

InterpretationofA.L.P. "SocialisationObjective"

Oorfirstletterthiseveningis from"Listener,"Perth,who writes:

"Rev.Sir,-Theedictofthe Churchthat'Socialisationof themeansofproduction,distributionandexchangeisnot inaccordwithChristianprinciples,'conflictswiththefirst plankoftheAustralianLabourParty.AsIhavebeer supporteroftheLabourParty inthepast,willyouinstructme whatmydutyshouldbeinthis regardinthefuture?"

A.:Thephraseyouuse,"thesocialisationofthemeansofproduction,distributionandexchange,'asbeingcontraryto Christianprinciples,isnotan edictoftheChurch. Ipresume youhavetakenitfromtheagendaoftheLabourParty'sConferenceheldin1921."TheSocialisationobjective"wasatthattime discussedforeightdays.Mr. Blackburnmovedthefollowing motionfortheinterpretationof this"Socialisationobjective":

'1st.ThattheAustralianLabourPartyproposescollective ownershipforthepurposeof preventingexploitation.

-2nd.Whereverprivateownershipisameansofexploitation. itisopposedbytheparty.

"3rd.ThePartydoesnotseekto abolishprivatepropertyeven ofanyinstrumentofproduction,wheresuchinstrumentis utilisedbyitsownerinasociallyusefulmannerwithout exploitation."

Thisinterpretationwasadoptedby15votesto13.Thatis

stillasfarasweknowthepolicy oftheParty;wehavenoinformationastoanyradicalchange sincethen.Butwemustnot forgetthatthevotingonthemotionofMr.Blackburnwaspracticallyfifty-fifty.Ifthisisthe policyoftheLabourPartytoday,itisnotopposedtoChristianprinciples,anddoesnotviolatethestatementrecentlymade bytheHierarchyofAustralia. AsfarasIcanmakeout,the LabourPartyhasneveradvocated"CompleteSocialisation,"that is,thesocialisationofALLmeans ofproduction,distributionand exchange.Uptothepresentthe Partyhassubmittedtotheele:torsproposalsforhumanitarian legislation,andgovernmentcontrolofcertainservices.Whether theyproposetogofurtherthan thatinthefuture,Icannottell. Theirpolicy,sofar,isnotopposedtoChristianprinciples,and thereforeanyman,beheCathodicornon-Catholic,isfreeto voteforthePartyorbeamemberofit.Thisissubstantially thedecisiongivenrecentlyby ArchbishopMannix,ofMelbourne,andbyArchbishopBenvich,oftheDioceseofAdelaide. Howtheindividualshouldvoteis nobusinessofthe"CatholicAnswer,"Thatiseachman'sown affair.Neitherarewediscussing herethewisdomofthe Party'spolicy. Tthinkthatthe AustralianLabourPartyknows onlytoowelltharwereittostake itslifeon"CompleteSocialisation"inanelection,itwouldsimplybepronouncingitsowletdeath sentence.

UlteriorMotivesBehind Cremation

Thenextlettert,-nightis asfollows:

"DearSir,-WhenwillCatholicsgiveuptheunhealthyand unhygienicpracticeofburying theirdead? Iconsiderthat cemeteriesareablotonany city.IftheStateordereddecentcremation,ourcitieswould notbeclutteredupwithgraveyards,therewouldbelessdangerofdisease,andmoreroom forbuildinghomesforthe workingman.But,asusual, yourChurchstepsinandpreventsprogressbymaking threatsagainstthosewhowant tohecremated.Thereis nothingveryChristianinlettingabodybeeatenbyworms.

"'SUFFERER,'Karrakatta," A.:Fromtheaddressatthetop oftheletter,Iseethatyour homewasbuiltlongafterthe CemeterywasatKarrakatta.If youheldsuchstrongviewsonthe berialofthedead,youshould haveselectedanothersuburbto buildahome.Thereisnodoubt hutthatcemeteriesarenot beautyspotsbutthentheyare notmeantforthatpurpose.They areplaceswherewelaythehumanremainsofthosewehave lovedinlife.Youthinkthat weshouldfeedtheirremainsinto

afurnaceandcallthisprogress.

Forfrombeingprogress,itisa reversiontopagandays.The thoughtthatcemeteriesareunhealthyandcauseinfectionisdeniedbymodernscience,soyou needhavenofearforyourself andyourfamily.

Thenaturallawsdoesnotforbidcremation,norhasGodgivenanypositivecommandabout thematter.Cremationisnot intrinsicallywrong,butitiscontrarytoJewishandChristian tradition.TheChurchhasmade gravedisciplinarylawswhich forbidCatholics,unlessunder unusualcircumstances,tobecremated.

FromthebeginningChristians nevercrematedtheirdead,but buriedthemafterthepersonal exampleoftheirdivineFounder. Thepagans,todestroythefaith intheresurrectionofthebody, oftencastcorpsesofthemartyredChristiansintotheflames, foolishlythinkingthustorender impossibletheresurrectionofthe body.Inimitationofthese pagansinmorerecenttimesEuropeans,whowerereligiousmaterialists,haverevivedandused cremation.Theirobjectwasto protest,andtoimpressinastrikingway,theteaching,thatallio

overwhenwedie,Thefirstattemptinmoderntimestorevive cremationwasmadebythematerialistsoftheFrenchDirectoryinthefifthyearoftheRepublic.Thesemen,whoput prieststodeath,abolishedthe Mass,andtheSunday,andadvocatedthenewcultofreason,advocatedcremation.Theystated thattheirmotivewastodestroy "thesuperstitionsoftheimmoralityofthesoulandtheresurrectionofthebody."Nearly80 yearselapsedbeforeanotherattemptwasmadetorevivecremation.TheFreemasonGhisleri givesusthereasonfortryingto reviveit.IquotehisOwls words:"Catholicshavegoodreasontoopposecremation.This purificationofthedeadbyfire willshaketoitsfoundationsCatholicpredominance,basedonthe terrorwithwhichithassurroundeddeath."Oneofthis groupadvocatedsellingtheashes ofthedeadtofarmersasfertiliser.Theaimoftheadvocatesofcremationistherefore quiteclear,TheywishtodestroyChristianbeliefintheimmortalityofthesouls,andthe resurrectionofthebody.

ThatinitselfwouldbesufficientreasonfortheChurchtoforbidthepractice.Thereare, however,manyotherreasons,and theyareappreciatedbymost non-Catholics.Itistruetosay thatthevastmajorityofnonCatholicsalsoburytheirdead, fortheyfeelthatthereissomethingveryunbecominginputting theminafurnace.Christians havealwaysreverencedthedead bodiesoftheirfellowmen,becausetheyknowthattheirbodies riseagain,becausetheyknow thatthosebodieshavebeenannointedduringlifeinBaptism andatdeathinExtremeUnction.

TotheCatholic,itseemsthe mostreverentthingtoburythose bodiesingroundwhichhasbeen speciallyconsecrated,and,accordingtotheceremoniesoftheritualwhichfromtimeimmemorial havebeenadaptedforburial ratherthanforburning.To us,itseemsfarmorereverent thatthebodyshouldbeallowed todecomposeaccordingtoits nature,thanthatitshouldbe violentlyconsumedbyfire.

Youmustalsorememberthat wearenottheonlypeopleopposedtocremation.Manyjurists,doctors,andinsurancecompaniesopposeitbecauseitobliteratesallevidenceofthecauseof death.Autopsiesperformedmany monthsafterdeathhaveoften provedthatthepersonhadbeen poisoned,andhasbroughtwelldeservedpunishmentonthe guilty,Werecremationtobecomegeneralitcouldbeaver easywayoutforthepoisoner. TheChurchtakesallthreepoints intoaccountwhensheinsistson burial.IfaCatholiciscremated,heforfeitstheprivilegeofa Catholicburial.Shouldhearrangetobecremated,noCatholicpriestmayadministertohim theLastSacraments,asheisin rebellionagainsttheLawofthe Church,andthereforetheLawof God.

Consideringtheunpopularity ofcremationevenamongnonCatholics,Ithinkthatthereis littledangerofthepracticebecominguniversal,soIamafraid thatyouwillhavetoputupwith thecemeteryorelsemovetoanothersuburb.Asregardsyour anxietyforspaceforworking men'shomes,Ithinkthatitwill beaverylongtimebeforeall
