DidSenatorAbetDivorceLaws!

Sir,-IwishtoaskSenatorTangneytwoquestions: (1)Hasshenomisgivings whatsoeverabouttheavowedintentionoftheLabour PartytofostertheinstitutionoftheWelfareState, inthelightofPapaldenunciationofsuchastateof society,andinthelightof thePopes'blueprintfor socialjusticeaspublished in encyclicals"Rerum Novarum"and"QuadragesimoAnno?" (2)WhydidSenator Tangneypressfortheextensionofdivorcefacilities asproposedintheUniform DivorcelegislationnowbeforeParliament?

Iwouldalsoliketoask everyCatholicMemberof theHouseofRepresentativesandtheSenatewhy hedidnotcampaignvigorouslyagainstSenator Tangney'sadvocacyofextensionofdivorcefacilities.

SenatorTangneyenjoins charityandmercyuponus, butwhenIfindapolitician

SenatorCannot PlayDualRole

Sir,-Permitmethrough yourpapertostatethat MissTangneycannotplaya dualrolethesedaysandget awaywithit.IwouldremindherofOurLord's words"Hethatisnotwith Me,isagainstMe."

espousingthecauseofthe thousandsofchildrenseparated,withoutmercyor charity,fromoneorother oftheirparentsbyscandalousandmonstrously crueldivorceproceedings, thenIwillvoteforthat politician,andpraisehis nameandnevergrowtired ofdoingso. UnfortunatelyIdonot knowofanypoliticianwho meritssuchpraiseandpreference,thoughtheymake themselvessickeninglyprominentoverlessermatters, andtheireverlasting,disedifyingsquabbles.

Explanation,Please

EveryCatholicpolitician wouldbefarbetteroccupiedinreadingandre-readingthePapalEncyclicals andintakingthemtoheart, thaninthrashingabout seekingawayoutofhis ownpettytroubles.

WhereareourDeGrasperis,ourAdenaeurs,our Salazars?Whereindeed! Onemaywellask!And whatofthepusillanimous electors?ManyCatholics willundoubtedlytransfer theirallegiancefromthe LabourPartytotheLiberal.

IftheLiberalPartywas wrongforthembefore,it iswrongnow,andthey shouldbehonestenoughto recognisethattheycannot berepresentedbyeither LabourorLiberalcandidates.

Sir,-"TheRecord"islieBookShop,andsomeof fastbecomingoneofAustralia'smosthumorous papers,forsomeofthe viewsexpressedareso muchatvariancewithCatholicedoctrine,thatoneis temptedtowonderatthe politicalbeliefsofsomeof yourcorrespondents.

Isincerelyhopethatthe Communistsarenotusing thepagesof"TheRecord" toputforwardtheirviews, formanyoftheviewsput forwardarecertainlyin linewithCommunistpolicy.

Mypenname,forthe benefitof''LudFord,"is takenfromoneoftheinner sanctumsofFreemasonry,so ifitisblasphemoushemust blamehisMasonicfriends andnotmyself.

Imakenoapologyfor quotingfromPapalEncyclicals,forthatiswhy theyarepublished.IfI aminthewrongthenthe CatholicBookShopshould becloseddownforthey havetheEncyclicalsonsale toallandsundry.

Thenagaintheeditorof "TheRecord"mustbesacked.forInoticethatheis publishing"DiviniRedemptoris"asaserial,which startedintheissueofJune 16.Everybodyisinthe wrongexcept"LudFord." Thewholearmyisoutof stepexcept"OurBill."

RegardingMasonicbooks,

IbuythesefromtheCatho-

themcarryanendorsement byanArchbishop.Most arewrittenbyCatholic writersofhighstanding, andarewelldocumented. Communistpamphletshave notbeenquotedinmylettersand"LudFord's"imaginationisworkingovertime.

Regardingmystirring "anunwholesomecuriosity," thenwherestandsHisHolinessthePope,andhispredecessorswhohavepublishedsomeoutstandingworks onSatanicFreemasonry?I presumethat"LudFord" willnotseektheexcommunicationofHisHoliness?

Mycriticstatesthat Masonry"isaheresyand assuchmustbeshunned," withwhichIagree,butis itnotafactthatCatholic girlsaremarryingFreemasonseveryweek?Why doesnotmycritichelpme toexposeFreemasonryandsavetheseCatholicgirlsto theChurch?
