powertotouchthebondofmarriage,whichowesits originanditsformnottotheStatenortothecontractingpartiesbuttoGodHimself.

InaSymposiumonDivorce,heldattheUniversity ofMelbourneinMay,FatherEricPerkins,Director oftheCatholicSocialServiceBureau,inoutlining theCatholicattitudetodivorce,indicatedthepitfalls ofauniformdivorcelawwhichdidnottakeinto accountthemoralandsocialevils,resultingfrom divorce.

Inparticular,hequotedremarkableU.S.figures showingtherelationshipbetweenthedivorcerateand juveniledelinquency.Thefollowingisthefulltext ofhisaddressattheUniversity.

Marriageanddivorcearesubjectsofvitalimportancetothecommunityandtoeverysectionand memberofit.Thefamilyisthebasicunitofsociety, thenurseryofbothChurchandState,andmarriage isthebasisofthefamily.Notonlyindividualsbut thewell-beingofbothChurchandStateareaffected bythestabilityorotherwiseofthemarriagebond.

When,therefore,legislationsuchasaFederalDivorce Lawismooted,responsiblemenandwomenoweit tothemselves,theirchildrenandtheircountryto weighitsimplicationscarefullyandthentoplace theirconsideredviewsbeforetheirParliamentary representatives.

InAustraliathereisnogeneralagreementregardingdivorce.Indeed,sincethefirstDivorceActwas passedbytheBritishGovernment101yearsago,the divergencebetweenthetraditionalCatholicviewand thatheldbyvariousothersectionsinthecommunity hastendedtowideninEnglish-speakingcountries. Catholicteachingonmarriageanddivorceisbasedon reason,Scriptureandtradition.Fundamentally,it restsuponarecognitionofthefactthatmarriageis notofhumanbutofdivineorigin.

ReconcilingRightsOfThreeGroups

AccordingtoCatholicsociologyGodhasprovided forallourprincipalneedsby.meansofthreesocieties -namely,theChurch,theStateandtheFamily.The purposeoftheChurchispurelyspiritual,thatofthe Statepurelytemporal.ThustheStateisseenas ultimatelyderiVingitsauthoritytomakelawsfrom GodHimself,butitspowers-unlikeGod'sarenot absolute.Theyarelimitedtothethingsthatconcern it,namely,thetemporalprosperityofitscitizens,and legislatorsareanswerablenotonlytotheelectorsbut alsotoGodforthedischargeoftheirduties.If ChurchandStateareviewedinthislightastwo distinctandsovereignsocieties,eachsupremeinits God-givensphere,itfollowsthattheStatehasno righttointerfereinthespirituallivesofitscitizens, thisbeingtheproperfunctionoftheChurch.

TheGod-givenrightsofbothChurchandStateare tobehonouredintheirrespectivespheres.Butthe family,too,hasGod-givenrightswhichbothChurch andStateareboundtorespect.Thesearenatural rightsspringingfromthenatureofman.Amongthese fundamentalhumanrights,recognisedintheUniversalDeclarationofHumanRightsoftheUnitedNations istherighttomarry,arightnotconferredonman byChurchorStatebutbelongingtohimbyhisvery nature.Marriage,therefore,asanaturalcontractis, initsessenceanditsessentialproperties,beyondthe reachoftheState.Consequently,nomatterwhatits constitutionalpowersmaybe,theStatehasnomoral

MarriagewasinstitutedbyGodasanatural,permanentunionofonemanandonewomanforthe purposeofpeoplingbothearthandHeavenwhen,at thedawnofhumanhistory,theAuthorofNature formedthetwosexesascomplementarytoeach other,gaveEvetoAdamashiswifeandcommanded themto"increaseandmultiply."Itistruethateach individualmarriagearisesfromthefreeconsentof theparties,butthisfreedompertainsonlytowhether thecontractingpartieswishtoenterthemarried stateortomarrythisparticularperson.Theessential characterofmarriageisdeterminednotbythewill ofthepartiesnorbythelegislationoftheState,but bythenatureandnaturalconsequencesofthesex relationshipassuch,reinforcedbythepositiveteachingofGodHimself.

Fromthisitisclearthatnatureherselfprescribes thattheunionofamanandwomaninmarriage shouldbeastableandenduringassociation.Ifwe allowthatthewiferemainsfertileuntilsheispast fortyandthatthehusbandisordinarilyolderthan she,thenbythetimetheeducationoftheirchildren hasbeencompletedincivilisedsociety,parentswill havereachedanadvancedage.Thegoodofthechild thusdemandsthatthemarriageunionbealasting one.Thegoodoftheparentsdemandsthatitlast tilldeath.

Hebelieves,however,thatinterestinthefamed 19thcenturychurchmanhasshiftedinrecentyears fromhiswritingstoNewmanhimself.

"Thereisanothertypeof so-calledIrishdress-the stageIrishmanofthecaubeenandtheshillelagh, whichunfortunatelyhas beenpromotedtoalarge extentbypeopleofIrish descentinAmericaand elsewhere.Thisdoesnot reflectthetrueIrishman, either."

AlthoughtheCardinal'swritings,suchas"Apologia ProVitaSua"and"IdeaofaUniversity,"havenot losttheirimportanceandappeal,Mgr.Davisbelieves thatmoreandmorepeoplearebeingdrawntothe manhimselfbecauseoftheattractionofhispersonalityandunworldliness.
