Furthermore,itwouldbeprogressivepolicyif legislationwereenactedtomakechildendowment paymentsadjustabletothebasicwage,sothattheir relativevaluewouldalwaysremainunimpaired.

Inanaddressgivenatthe International Eucharistic CongressheldatBuenos Airesin1934,DonOrione, founderoftheDaughtersof theDivineProvidence,referredtothemanychurches builtbyHisEminenceSantiagoLuisCardinalCopello, ArchbishopofBuenosAires, andthenwentontoutter thesepropheticwords:
"PoorCardinal,whohas builtsomanychurchesand isgoingtoseethemburned. BloodwillrunfromCordobatoBuenosAires.The persecutionwillbeveryintense,betitwilllastonlya shorttime."
Twentyyearsago,these wordsseemedincomprehensible.Today,however,they havetakenonasorrowful reali`y.However,inwitnessingthefulfilmentofthe prophecy,theCatholicsof Argentinahavefeltanew andwidespreadresurgence oftheFaithwithintheir ranks.
AtSt.John'sChurch,NorthGeelong,Victoria,theRev.B.Payne,P.P.,referredtothe recentstatementoftheArchbishopofCanterburythatthe"RomanCatholicChurch" wasthegreatestexistinghindrancetothe advanceofGod'skingdomamongstmen.
Itwasindeedstrange,he said,thatAtheisticCommunismortheevilwillsof menshouldnotbegivena higherprioritythanthe CatholicChurch.
Theallegedreasonforthe chargewasthattheCatholicChurchforbade"anydegreeofecclesiasticalpart- nershipbetweenitselfand otherchurchesofChristendom-eventheelementary partnershipofprayingtogethertoourcommonLord forgracetogrowinpartnership."
Suchahurtfulattack, saidFatherPayne,often founditsbestansweronthe lipsofthosewhomadeit.

Themostatrociousslanderhisagentshadhurled againsttheChurchwas whentheyaccusedCatholics ofburningtheArgentine flagatCorpusChristicelebrationsonJune11.
Accordingto reliable sources,itwasactuallyan agentofthepolice,fromthe 6thCommissariatofBuenos Aires,whosetfiretothe flag,attheinstigationof MinisterofInteriorAngel Borlenghi.Thecharredflag wascarriedtotheCongressandplacedonthestaircase infrontofthebuildingafter theCatholicworshippers hadalreadyleft.
Thatsameeveningthe governmentannouncedthat Catholicshadcommittedthe outrage,althoughtherewere numerous eye-witnesses whocouldtestifytothecontrary.
Inviewofallthathas happenedwithinthepast eightmonths,theCatholics ofArgentinacanhardlybe blamedforviewingwith cautionthegesturesofreconciliationPresidentPeron isnowmaking.

TheCatholicChurchwas praying,andalwayswilling topray,fortherealunity ofChristians-Anglican leadersinMelbournehad recentlyheldservicesonthe samedayandatthesame hoursasCatholicstopray forthatintention-but"the gracetogrowinpartnership"wasanothermatter.
TheArchbishopbelievedthathistorytaughtthatunwillingnesstoenterinto partnershipsthreatenedall ecclesiasticalbodies.But thefactwasthattheCatholicChurchhadmaintained herunityforaprecisely oppositereason,namely, thatshecondemnedheresy assoonasshedetectedit, andalwaysrefusedtocompromisewithit.
