Inthefirstpressnotice concerningtheCardinalsince hewenttotheAmericanlegationonNovember5,1956 thenewspaperaccusedhimof suspendingthepriestsbecauseoftheir"progressive" views.Thechargescoincide(' withtheeighthanniversary oftheCardinal's"trial"and sentenceoflifeimprisonmentforallegedespionage.

HIGHWAYACCIDENTSPOSEMORALPROBLEM

ShouldChurchPunishBadCarDrivers?

Whetherecclesiasticalsanctionsshouldbeimposedondiiversofmotorvehicles responsibleforaccidentsonthehighwaysisdiscussedbyFatherJohnC.Ford,professor ofmoraltheologyatWestonCollege,Massachusetts,U.S.A.,inanarticlein "America".FatherFordquotesfromPopePiusXll'saddresstotheInternational HighwayFederation,inwhichHisHolinesssaid:"Theoftendramaticeffectsofviolatingthetrafficcodegiveitanextrinsicobligationmuchmoreseriousthanpeople generallyimagine".

RecentproposalsthatCatholicbishopsimpose somekindofecclesiasticalpenalty(possiblyeven excommunication)oncriminallycarelessdrivers havecausedquiteastirinthepress.Theidea seemedtogainmomentumwhentheHolyFather himself,speakingon4thOctober,1955,totheInternationalHighwayFederation,pleadedforcaution andcourtesyonthehighways.Manypersons, especiallythosewhothinkoftheChurchasoldfashionedandmoreconcernedwithancientproblemsthanwithmodernones,werepleasedthatthe Popeshouldthustakenoticeofanurgentcontemporaryquestion.Manythoughtitafineideathat bishopsshouldtakeactionagainsttrafficoffenders.

Suchproposals,however. comefromthosewhomisunderstandtherealmission oftheChurch.Toatheologian,itseemsunthinsabie thatourbishopswouldever invokespecialecclesiastica'sanctionsagainsttraffic violators.Toomanyobvious objectionsimmediatelypresentthemselves. Foronething,theChurch traditionallyreservesits punitivemeasuresforgraver mortalsin.Now,mosthighwaydeathsarecausedby accidents;andaccidents,by definition,cannotbeinthemselvessinful.Manytrafficaccidents,ofcourse,resultfrom grosscarelessness,andpersonsguiltyofsuchcarelessnessmaysinagainsttheFifthCommandment.Butwilful violationsoftheFifthCommandmentalreadycarry severepenaltiesprescribedby GodHimself.

PopePiusXII,speaking on3rdApril,1955,tothefirst WorldCongressforPreventionofIndustrialAccidents, aboutthehumanandmoral factorsinindustrialaccident prevention,said:
