"Never,"saidBishop Goody,"hasyouthbeenput inamorefavourablepositionthaninAustraliatoday."

PolesGrateful ToArchbishop

Mostsincerethanksto HisGracetheArchbishop wasvoicedduringthe weekbyMr.G.Redziejowski,vice-chairmanof thereceptioncommittee whichwelcomedArchbishopGawlina.

SpeakingforthePolish community,Mr.Redziejowskisaidtheyweremost gratefultoArchbishop Prendivilleforthecordial welcomeandhospitalityhe hadgivenArchbishopGawlina.

Manytimesinthepastthe PolishpeopleofW.A.had experiencedthefriendliness ofArchbishopPrendiville, butespeciallyduringthe visitoftheirProtector.

ThePolishpeoplewould alwaysrememberArchbishopPrendivilleintheir prayersandprayedthatGod wouldgranthimmanyand fruitfulyearsinhiswork forthefaithfuloftheArchdioceseofPerth.

"Andyet,"heremarked, "wehearmoreaboutjuveniledelinquency,hooliganismandvandalismthan everbefore."

Whileadmittingasafact thatthosethingsexistedhe saidthattheywereexaggeratedbythesensationlovingpresswhichwould notpublishthegoodthings donefrequentlybyyoung peoplebecauseareportof thesethingswouldnotgive readersthepleasureofa thrillofhorror.

Thereweretwomainimmediatecausesofyouth's ills,saidHisLordship.

Thesewere: Alackofsenseofresponsibility;and ageneraldeclineof moralstandards.

Semi-Literacy

Thefirstofthosewasdue inparttothefactthat materialprosperitycameso easilyinAustraliathatit wasnotappreciatedandled toanirresponsibleattitude amongyoungpeople.

Theyshouldconsider,he said,howmuchbetteroff theywerethanpeoplein manyothercountriesofthe worldandpeopleoftwo generationsago.

Theyshouldconsider, too,whatusetheyhad madeoftheeducation theyhadreceived,whether theyhaddevelopedthemselvesthroughreadingand formingtheirownideasor whethertheyhadlapsed intosemi-literacywithout ideasoftheirownandready tobeinfluencedbyanybodywhoshouldcome along.

Thedeclineinmoral standards,saidtheBishop, wasdueprimarilytothe neglectofreligionbythe Stateandbyparentsinthe home.

Thehelpgivenbythe Statetoreligionoverthe past80yearswaspracticallynilandonlyrecently weretheresignsofsome concernaboutthismatter.

DeclineInMorals

HisLordshipsaidthat otherfactorsinfluenced moralstandards,particularlysocialconventions,which allowedtoomuchsolitary companionshipbetweena manandhisgirlfriendand toomuchdrinkingonsocial occasions.

OnJune.3,pupilsofOurLady'sCollege,Victoria-sq., markedthefeastoftheQueenshipofMarybythecrowningofastatueofOurBlessedMother.AroundthebeautifullydecoratedaltarweregroupedChildrenofMary, AspirantsandHolyAngelsrepresentingthe15mysteries oftherosary.Childreninschooluniformheldaloftthe title"Mary,QueenofourSchool."Precedingtheactual crowningofOurLadybySusanShepherd,aninspiring addressonthemeaningoftheceremonyandtitlewas readbyCeciliaWard.

Theradio,themoviesand thepressaddedtheirinfluencetothedeclineinthe standardofmoralsbyconcentratingtoomuchonsex.

Aftermakingacareful analysisofthemainimmeiatecausesoftheevilsinfluencingmodernyouth, BishopGoodywentonto pointoutwhatremedies

Thatwasparticularly necessaryinunionaffairs wheresomanyyoungmen andevenoldermenjust couldn'tcareless.

Theyshoulddotheirwork wellandsobecomeas exampleforotherstofollow.Theirconversationat workshouldbedirectedto somethingintelligentinsteadoftheeternaltalk aboutsportandgirls.

Responsibilityshouldbe developedalsoinmoney mattersbypromptpayment ofdebtsandofdues.

StrengthOfGrace

"Bancompletelyinyour homes,"saidtheBishop, "pornographic literature andthosetypesofborderline magazinesthattreattheir readersasiftheywerea lotoffarmyardanimals."

Theycouldtrytomake gooduse,hesaid,oftheir leisuretimeandshould avoidandhelpothersto avoidsuggestivepicture shows.

Norshouldtheydespise thesocialconventionsapprovedbyolderandmore experiencedpeopleeven' thoughthosemightseem oldfashioned.Theyshould cultivaterespectforwomen.

Thecommandmentswere nevereasytoobserve,His Lordshipremarked,and Itheywouldfinddifficultyin keepingthemtodaybut theyhadtremendoushelps whichcouldbeobtained especiallythroughtheSacramentsandtheMass.

ThegraceofGod,he said,wasinfinitelystronger thanalltheinfluencesaffectingyouthintheworld oftoday.

OfthegospelofSt.Luke, BishopGorehimselfsays thatexternalevidencesare unanimousthatSt.Luke wroteit,andthatinternal criticismfullyaccordswith this.

Asregardsthegospelof St.Matthew,difficultyarisesfromthefactthatPapias (60-130A.D.)says

Q.:MatthewandLukeused Mark,andanothersource called"Q,"whichmay havebeendocumentsor mayhavebeentraditions.

R:Havingevolvedan hypothesiswhichdemanded"anothersource,"biblicalscholarsdesignatedthat conjecturalsourceas"Q." Thefetter"Q"'isfromthe Germanword"Quelle," meaningaspringorsource.

Itwasnotlongbefore theybegantospeakof"Q" asiftheyhadfound"Lassetter'sReef"atlast,and couldbegindiggingatonce: andthe"Q"legendtook shapeinmen'smindsasif "Q"wereadefiniteand existentreality,andnot merelyaconjecturalshot inthedark,intendedtoaccountforthesimilaritiesin thesynopticGospels.

Butthe"Q"theoryisbeginningtofinditswayto theimmensescrap-heapof discardedhumanhypotheses.Dr.Lake'sbookwas publishedin1938.Now,in 1955alongcomeshisfellowAnglican,Dr.A.M.Farrer, M.A.,D.D.,andfirstclass honoursscholarofBalliol College,Oxford,sayingin thebook"Studiesinthe Gospels,"editedbyD.E. Nineham,1955,thatthereis noneedofanyimaginary "Q"atall.

TheGreekMatthew,and thegospelsofSt.Markand St.Lukecouldquitewell haveusedtheHebrewMatthewandtheApostolic preachingwhichhadacquiredamoreorlessfixed form,andwithwhichthey werequitefamiliar.

Icannotgomoredeeply intothis"SynopticProblem,"asitiscalled.There arevarioussolutionsofit, allmoreorlesstentative; andabsolutestatements concerningitarenotjustified.

In1952Mr.JamesCleugh publishedhisbook:"Spain intheModernWorld."Beforewritingthebook,he wenttoSpain,stayedlong, travelledwidely,andformedpersonalconclusions frompersonally-observed facts.

Hedeniespoint-blank thatFrancoisthemonster ofcontemporaryEnglish, FrenchandRussiancaricature.WinstonChurchill himselfsaidthatFranco, bykeepingHitleroutof SpainandrefusinghimaccesstoGibraltar,incidentallysavedtheAlliesinthe lastwarfromadanger whichmightwellhave provedmortal.

GoingbackinSpanish history,onecannotimagine suchatributefroman EnglishmantoPhilipII.of SpainwhosenttheArmada toinflictamortalblowon England!

IfDr.Mackaymeansthat Francoisthemosthated maninSpanishhistoryby Spaniardsthemselves,heis utterlywrong.Francois respectedandacceptableto thevastmajorityof Spaniards,thoughnotall agreewithallthemeasures hethinksnecessaryforthe goodofthecountry.

Althoughheisheadofthe State,farfromhavinganythinklikeatotalitariandictator'sauthority,hehashad tomakeconstantadjustmentstoconciliatethe Church,theMonarchists, theArmy,theFalangists, theCarlistsandmanyother sectionalgroupswhohad differentideasastohow constitutional problemsshouldbesolved.

R.:Thatistrue.Thefirst phrase,translatedliterally means"Deputed(orAuthorised)Censor."However, theEnglishword"Censor" hashadaverybadpress, andprobablyconveysquite wrongideasofwhatthe CatholicChurchmeansby itinthiscontext. Acensoriouspersonis onewhorebukesandcondemnsothers.Andmost people,whentheyhearthe word"Censor"thinkof someoneinauthorityunreasonably preventing othersfrompublishingwhat theyshouldhaveaperfect righttopublish. Thatwouldnotbethe correctmeaningofthe Catholicexpression"Censor Deputatus."Thenearest Englishequivalentofit wouldbesimply"Appointed(orAuthorised)Inspector."

Theword"Imprimatur means"Itmaybeprinted;" whichincludes,ofcourse, therighttopublishand distribute.

Q.:Couldyoupleasetell

mewhatisthefiucction ofsuchnotices?'

R.:ThelawoftheCatholicChurchrequiresthat anyCatholicwhowishesto publishanythingclaiming tosetforthexplanations concerningreligiousar moralmattersmustfirst submithismanuscriptto theBishop,andobtainhis permissiontodosobefore publishingit.

TheBishopsubmitsthe manuscripttosomecompetenttheologianinhisdiocese,askinghimtoreadit andmakesurethatitdoes containsounddoctrine,with nothinginitopposedtothe genuineteachingsandprinciplesoftheCatholicreligion.Thislawreflectsthegreat senseofdutyin-theCatholicChurchtosafeguardthe divinely-revealedtruthsof theChristian religion againstpossible-even thoughunconscious-misrepresentationordistortion.

toanyofficialteachingsof theChurchinit. Ifhefindsanydefinite errors,heindicatesthem andsuggeststheircorrectionbeforetheBishop grantspermissionbythe singleword"Imprimatur" ("Itmaybeprinted").

Q.:Whatdotheofficialdeclarations"NMIObstat" and"Imprimatur"confer? R.:Theymerelyindicate thatthemanuscripthas beenreadbeforehandbya competenttheologian;That thereisnothinginthebook opposedtoanyessential teachingsoftheCatholic Churchinmattersoffaith ormorals;andthatthe Bishophassanctioned'its publication.That'sall. Nopositiverecommendationofthebookisintended. Fromaliterarypointof viewthebookmaybevery badlywrittenandnotworth reading.

Neithertheexamining theologiannortheBishop mayagreewiththeauthor's variousopinionsorstatements;andtheymaythoroughlydislikeboththe author'sapproachtothe subjectandthemannerin whichhehastreatedit.No officialresponsibilityisacceptedfromthosepointsof view.

Allthatisguaranteed, poorasthebookmaybe, isthatatleastthereis nothinginitopposedtoany articlesoffaithormoral principlesofficiallytaught bytheCatholicChurch.

It'ssomewhatlikethedeclarationonatinoffood.

And,asMr.Cleughremarks,nooneinSpain couldsaythatFrancowas nottryingtopleaseeverybody.Totalitariandictators arenotlikethat.Theywant everybodytopleasethemorelse!

Q.:Lukewaspossiblya companionofSt.Paul,or hecouldhaveuseda diaryofsomeonedeputed toobtaininformationfor

hint R.:TheAnglicanBishop Gore,ofOxford,inhis "NewCommentary"introductiontoSt.Luke'sgospel, declaresitquitedefinite thatSt.LukewasthecompanionofSt.Paul,andthat allthelikelihoodisthat hecompiledhisowndiary, makingnotesduringhis travelswiththatApostle, notesusedlaterwhenwritingboththethird"Gospel" and,laterstill,the"Actsof theApostles." Allthesearespeculative questions,however,towhich itisamistaketoattach unduepracticalimportance.

ThattheCatholicChurch inSpainishischiefsupporterwouldnotbeadmittedbyFrancohimself; whilehis"Concordat"with theChurchwassimplyan "agreementtodisagree"on matterswhichotherwise couldleadtoopenconflict.

FourReasonsForAdvance

(1)LatinAmericanRedsareusingthemachinery ofanewdemocraticclimateinmanycountries.Local governmentsseemineffectiveinprovidingpolicecontrolovertheCommunist-inspiredriotsanddisorders inthosecountries.

(2)Communistpropagandafeedsontheevident poverty,socialinjusticeandclassstrifeinsomeof thesecountries.WhilepresentGovernmentsare workingfeverishlyandeffectivelytocorrectthese abuses,theymaynothavesufficienttimetooffset continualCommunistagitation.

(3)RedsinCommunistcountries,includingthe SovietUnion,holdoutasbaitbeforesomeofthe economicallyweakLatinAmericanGovernmentsthe promiseofloans,favourabletradeagreementsand varioustypesofeconomicaid.Meanwhile,they ridiculeandbelittleU.S.economicprogrammesin LatinAmerica.

(4)Wildinflation,particularlyinChileandBolivia, causinggraveeconomicinstabilityisafurther favourableclimateforCommunistpropaganda.The RedshaveusedeffectivepropagandaovertheweakeningcopperandtinmarketsinPeruandBolivia respectively,andhaveputtheblameontheU.S.for thisadditionaleconomiccrisis.

"Sincehumanfreedomiscapableofunleashingan unjustconflict,tothedamageofanation,itiscertain thatsuchadamagednationcan,underdetermined conditions,riseinarmsanddefenditself."

ThePopethenproceededtorecountthehistoryof war,beginningwithCain'scrimeoffratricideagainst Abel,andcontinuingthroughthebattlesofprimitive menandfeudallords.

"But,"henoted,"todayaconflictisnotlimitedto battlesbetweenarmedgroups.Ithasnowgrownto beingacombatbetweenpeoplewhosewholephysical andmoralforcesaremobilisedwithalltheireconomic andindustrialresources.
