SecularistsSillyAboutDelinquents

AlmostasthoughFatewerewritinganironical footnotetoalocalcontroversy,Mr.PeterBrett'scriticismsofthetrainingofdelinquent"girls"atthe HomeoftheGoodShepherdhasbeenfollowedbythe newsthattheFrenchGovernmenthadbestowedthe CrossoftheLegionofHonouruponMotherMaryof St.Ursula,Superior-GeneraloftheGoodShepherd nuns.

Again,itisnoteworthythatwhileFranceisstill nominallyaCatholicnation,itsgovernmentsovera verylongperiodhavebeenMasonicandanti-Catholic.Inrecentyearsthatlegislativediscrimination hasnotbeensostronglymarked,butthatitstill existswithsomedynamismwasclearlyshownbythe oppositiontothe"subsidisation"ofCatholicschools.

ThepresentPremierofFrance,M.Mendes-France, wasoneoftheleadingopponents.Francemaysuffer from"immobilisme"inforeignpolitics,butthereis novelleityregardingCatholicprogress.Sothat,the decorationofaReligiousisquiteanoutstandingtestimony.

SecularistsMustUseWhatTheyDespise

Thesecularistsflatterthemselvesthattheyare, religiously,neutral.Infacttheyaretheempirical philosophersofmaterialismandalltheiractsare,perhapsunconsciously,redolentofanindifferencetoreligionwhichislittleremovedfromcontempt.For itisinthenatureofthemindtoseektruth,tograpple ittothesoulwithhooksofsteel.Nobodywhois honestwillpretendtobeneutraltowardstruth,least ofalltowardsreligioustruth.Forourhistorydenies thechieftenetofsecularisminthatitshowsthemost bitterwarstohavebeenfoughtoverreligiousissues.

Mr.Hannah,however, wasnotdisheartened.In 1952hecameoutwithhis book,"DarknessVisible," provinghiscasebyadetailedexaminationofFreemasonryfromInitiationtothe RoyalArchDegree,using Masonicdocumentsthroughout.Thebookcreateda sensation,andisalreadyin itsseventhedition.

Butthechargecamethat hehadconsideredonlythe lowerdegrees,andthat therewerehigheranddefinitelyChristiandegrees withwhichhehadnotdealt.

HenceMr.Hannah'snew book,inwhichhediscusses thesehigherdegreesand proveswithequalsuccess thatnoChristianisjustified inbelongingtothem.

Hecommenceswiththe historyofMasonry,making veryclearitsdetermined effortstoavoidanything specificallyChristian,so thattheNameofChrist,as heputsit,"couldnotprove astumblingblocktothe Jewsnorfoolishnesstothe Greeks."

Andheaskspertinently why,ifEnglishMasonryfelt obligedtobreakwiththe Frenchlodgesbecausethey droppedtheNameofGod, Anglicanbishopsdonotfeel equallyobligedtobreak withtheGrandlodgeof Englandbecauseitdrops theNameofChrist?

Australia'sforeignpolicy wasofthegreatestimportancetodaybecausemore thaneverAustralia'svery survivaldependedonher adoptingarealisticattitude ininternationalaffairs.

Theleadershipofthe Westernnationsseemedto dependonfournationsin particular;theUnited States,Germany,Australia and,toalesserextent, Spain.

couldbeoutlinedasfollows:

1.Australiashouldgive thefullestsupporttoAmericaninternationalpolicy. AustraliashouldsupportAmericaattheUnitedNations,andAustraliashould havesupportedAmericato thefullattheGenevaConferenceinsteadoffollowing theBritishlineofappeasement.

Australiashouldsupport theAmericanplanforan AsianDefenceCommunity; infact,Australiashould havetakentheleadinsuggestingandformingsucha pact.ArchbishopMannix saidinMelbournetheother day,"ouronlyhopeisin maintaininggoodrelations withtheUnitedStatesof America.Ifwedothat thereishopethatAustralia willbesavedfromdisaster, butifwelistentotheappeasersIthinkthefateof Australiawillbethefate ofPoland,Chinaandthe rest."

Inotherwords,theyought torealizethattheirmembershipoftheBritishCommonwealthandtheirtraditionaltieswithBritaindid notbindthemtofollow Britishpolicy.Therewas verylittleincommonbetweentheBritishattitude toAsia,whichwassimply amatterofkeepingopen avenuesfortrade,andthe Australianapproachwhich wasacaseofselfpreservation.

Insomecases,ithad beensimplyadirectapplicationofChristian principles;e.g.theapplicationoftheprincipleof internationalcharityin thequestionofmigration.

Inothercasesithad involvedtheuseofhuman prudenceandjudgmentto choosepoliciesinharmony withtheChurch'ssocial teachings;e.g.theadopting oftl*productivitywage. Theresulthadbeenthe integrationoftheChurch's socialteachingswiththe mostcompetentknowledge ofeconomic,industrial andagriculturalpolicies etc.fromsecularsources. Thishadtrulybeena greatadvance.

Thatmayhavebeenthe caseinthepastbutinAustraliatodayuniversitygraduatesweresoughtafterfor everybranchofgovernmentandindustry;they wereundoubtedlyoneof themostinfluentialsectionsofthecommunity.

Toprovethat,itwas enoughtocitethenumber ofuniversitygraduates whostoodascandidatesin therecentelection.Inboth politicalpartiesthenumber andinfluenceofgraduates wascontinuallyincreasing. Moresignificantstillwas thefactthatthemajority ofdepartmentalheadsin thePublicServicewere menwithuniversity degrees;itwasthosemen, thepermanentheadsofdepartments,whoexerciseda muchmoredecisiveinfluenceinformingnational policythandidtheelected representatives.

Theoverallpicturerevealedthatnationalpolicies wereverylargelyinthe handsofuniversitygraduates,andthatmeantthat themenandwomenwho wouldbeguidingAustralia'spolicyanddevelopment intenortwentyyearstime weretheirfellowstudents intheUniversitytoday.
