Immortality belongs naturallytobeingwhich, thoughcontingent(thatis, notexistingbyanynecessityofitsownnature),yet hasbeensointrinsically constitutedbyitsCreator thatitcannotceasetoexist exceptthroughtheaction ofthedivineCreator'sannihilatingit.Suchimmortalitybelongstothehuman soul.

WhyistheHumanSoul Immortal?

"Thesoulsofthejustare inthehandsofGod,andthe tormentsofdeathshallnot touchthem;theirhopeis fullofimmortality."

LoyaltyToBishopsIsWisestCourse

Sir,-P.W.Finn'sopen-withtheCatholicworkers "hithertowalledoffbythe Catholichierarchy." ThisremindsoneofcertainEuropeanCatholicRegressives(theycalledthemselvesProgressives).

Theinferenceconcerning theIndustrialGroupsis plainlyillogicalandwhatis importanttheslurisnot containedintheBishops' Pastoral.Ratherthecontrary.

DifferentiatesOn IssuesOfHealth

Sir,-Ihadoccasiona shorttimeagotoaddressa smallgatheringofwomenfolkonthevexedquestion offluoridationofourwater supply.

Oneofthedebatingpoints Iraisedwasthatofmass medication.Attheconclusionofthemeetingoneof thosepresentsmoothlysuggestedthatIhadalready acceptedtheprincipleof massmedicationwhenI agreed to compulsory X-raying.

Thisisquiteso,although Ifeelthatthereisavast differencebetweenhavinga photographtakenofone's lungs,andhavingsomething forciblyputintothebody, whichmightwelldisagree withit.

Anotherpointtobearin mindisthatGodinHis mercifulbountyhasalready givenusapureandunadulteratedwatersupply sufficientforthemaintenanceofbodilyhealthand mentalvigour,anditwould appeartobeaviolationof naturallawtointerferewith it.

Theaboveargument showedmequiteclearly though,thatifwecompromisefurtherwithourprinciplesandagreetofluoridationofthewatersupply, thisinturnwillbeusedto furtherundermineourprinciplesuntilwehaveagreed toacceptmassmedication initsentirety.

WhatIsOurResponsibility

MosesDidNot BelieveInGods OfOtherNations

J.X.Kemp,DeeWhy:

InDeut.4:7,Mosesisrecordedassayingtothe Jews:"Neitheristhere anyothernationsogreat thathathgodssonearto themasourGodispresenttoallpetitions."Does thatmeanthatheandthe Jewsbelievedinthe existenceandpowerof thegodsofothernations?

R.:No.Althoughsuperficially,thewordsmight seemtomeanthatthereare. manygods,amongwhom theGodoftheJewswas merelythegreatest,that meaningisexcludedby Moses'laterremarks,in verse27thatthegodsof othernationsaremerely "framedwithmen'shands, ofwoodandstone,"andin verse35that"theLordis God:andthereisnoother besidesHim."

J.G..Pyrmont:Would youpleaseexplaintome Mark10:25:"Itiseasierfor acameltopassthroughthe eyeofaneedlethanfora richmantoenterintothe kingdomofGod?"

Mostpeoplewhoquote therule,unfortunately,are notconcernedwiththeir ownconductbutwithcondemningtheconductof others.

OurLordneverintended ittobethemeasureofour judgmentofothers,but onlyofourjudgmentof ourselves. Howothers treatusdoesn'treallymatter.

ThelessonIshouldderive fromthemisthatitisafar, farbetterthingthatIdo ifIvoluntarilychoose povertyratherthanriches; andthesightoftheriches ofothers,ratherthanfillingmewithenvyandbitterness,shouldfillmewith compassionforthem.

Accordingtotheteaching ofChrist:"Blessedarethe poorinspirit,fortheirsis thekingdomofheaven,"the richandnotthepoorare deservingofpity.

Worchester,Massachusetts.-Intheparticipationofthelaity"notonlyintheliturgy butintheentireprogrammeofCatholic Action"lies"thehopeoftheChurchfor yearstocome,"ArchbishopRichardJ.CushingofBostondeclaredatthecloseofthe 16thNationalLiturgicalWeekhere.

"Morethaneverbefore," theArchbishopsaid,"itis truethattheworkof bishopsandnriestsisnot enoughtorestoreallthings inChrist.Wemustallwork together.

'Forthecausewhich unitesusisChrist'scause, andChristcamenottoordainpriestsortoconsecratebishopsbuttoleadus all,throughtheChurch,into everlastinglife."

ArchbishopCushingassertedthatthesuccessof theLiturgicalMovement dependsontheextentto whichitspromotersbecome consciousofthepartthey aredestinedtoplayinthe universalapostolateofthe Church.

And,warningthatthe movementcoulddegenerate intoa"perfectionistcultof ceremonial,"heinsistedthat "modificationsintheliturgy shouldcontemplatethe greatestpossiblegoodofthe Churchasawhole."

Changes"shouldnotbe regardedasdesirablein practiceorasconstituting reasonfordissatisfaction withexistingformsuntil theyhavebeenofficially approvedbytheChurch," headded.

Ifitisnottobeshuntedinto"blindalleys," ArchbishopCushingsaid, theLiturgicalMovement must"followthelineof progresswhichhasbeen markedoutbytheofficial directivesoftheChurch

andbytheauthoritative pronouncementsofthe SupremePontiffs."

Inthisconnection,he calledtheencyclical"MediatorDei"ofPopePius XIItheideal"handbookof everyonewholovesthe liturgy,"andsaidit"has donemorefortheLiturgicalMovementthanany otherdocumentofmodern history."

DeliveredtotheCatholicmenofNeutral Bayparish,N.S.W.,onAug.15,1955,by HisExcellencytheMostReverendRomolo Carboni,ApostolicDelegate.

Thatsuchanidealberealisediscertainlythe wishofHisHoliness,PopePiusXII,whoonJune 1,1945,wrotetotheFrenchBishops:". speed thedaywhenWemayseerisingfromtheranksof yourCatholicorganisationsagreatnumberofpersonalities,solidlygroundedinprinciple,thoroughly informedontheteachingoftheChurch,prepared todiffusethegenuineChristianspiritwithinthe social,economic,andjuridicaldomains;readyto protecttheinterestsofreligionbytheircivicand politicalaction.Weshouldlikeinawordto envisageacompleteprogrammeofactionbasedon thisauthenticcharity,whichisindispensablefor thereconstructionofaworldtotteringtoitsvery foundations".

ItmaybeaskedhowthisprimaryaimofCatholic Action-theformationoftheintegralCatholicmind andthecultivationoftheapostolicspirit-istobe achievedasefficaciouslyandwidelyaspossible throughoutthenation?

PopePiusXIhasalreadysuggestedtheanswer inhisEncyclicalon"AtheisticCommunism":"the taskofformation,nowmoreurgentandindispensablethanever,whichmustalwaysprecede directactioninthefield,willassuredlybeservedby study-circles,conferences,lecturecourses,andthe variousotheractivitiesundertakenwithaviewto makingknowntheChristiansolutionofthesocial problem."

SCOPEMUSTBEEXTENDED

ItwouldbeamistaketoseeinCatholicAction -somethingessentiallynew.IntheChurchlaymen havealwayscollaboratedwiththehierarchyinthe apostolateoftheChurch.CatholicActionhasgiven thisapostolicactivity,thiscollaboration,nothing butanewinstitutionalformandorganisationsothat itmaybebetterandmoreefficaciouslyexercised.

Inallcountrieswhereitdoesnotsufferconstraint socialactionisparexcellencethemodeofthe apostolicactivityofCatholicAction.

Sincethereexistsacertainamountofconfusion concerningtheactivitiespropertoCatholicAction andthoseofotherorganisationscomposedatleast mainlyofCatholicsinthesocialdomainitmaybe welltoindicateherethedifferentiatingcharacteristics.
