CatholicAction,andCatholicSocialActionshouldbe seenasanessentialpartof theresponsibilityofparents towardstheirchildren.The importanceofthisparental obligationwasstressedby Mr.Mangini.

Mostparentsacceptedthe ideathattheyhadtomake thehomeareallyfavourable environmentforthedevelopmentofChristianvirtues. Toooften,though,they seemedtoforgetthatthe childrenwouldspendless andlessoftheirwaking hoursinsidethefamilyprecincts.Unlessparentsacceptedtheirresponsibilityfor helpingtoshapethelarger environment,muchofthe goodtheyachievedinthe child'searlyyearswasaptto benullifiedbyrhamfulinfluencesencounteredaway fromparentalguidanceand support.

Itfollowed,saidMr.Mangini,thatparentsasparents hadaseriousdutytoplaya veryactivepartinshaping thecommunityinwhich theylived.AlreadyCatholicparentsweredoingan impressivejobinmaintainingaCatholicschool system,butthiswasnot enough.Vigorousandsustainedactionwasneededto changesuchthingsasadvertisingethics,themorality standardsofentertainment, andthetypeofconversation heardatworkplaces.In additiontherewasaneed formoreactiveparticipation incivicandunionmatters, sincethesethingscouldhave aprofoundinfluenceon familylife.Wecouldnever claimthatourfamilyresponsibilitiesendedatthe frontgate.

Twoveryprevalentideas onthissubject,thespeaker continued,wereequallyunhelpful.Sometendedtowardsisolationism,tryingto separatethechildrenfrom allharmfulinfluencesby socialorphysicalbarriers.

ElaborateSovietPlanToCapture AfricaDescribedInCommons

London:TheSovietUnionismakingplans tospreadcommunismthroughoutAfrica, ParliamenthosbeentoldbyformerBritish MinisterofDefenceAnthonyHead.

Mr.Head,nowaConservativeMemberofParliament,toldtheHouseof CommonsthatSovietRussia'splansconsistmainlyof offeringscholarshipstoAfricansforstudyincommunist countries,andofflooding Africawithcheapsubsidised literature.Hecontinued:

"Ifmembers(ofParliament)werenowinMoscow andwereallowedtogointo acertainbuilding-asthey wouldnotbeallowedtodotheywouldfindhundredsof menandwomenbending overtheirdesksandtabulatingandlisteningtoobscureAfricanlanguagesand turningthemintoRussoAfricandictionaries.

Theywouldfindother menandwomenstudying theeconomic,agricultural, social,tribalandreligious beliefsofmanyobscure Africantribes.

"Elsewhereinanother building,theywouldfind manytechnicians,engineers, nomineestotrademissions andfutureambassadorsundergoingcoursesandlearningthoselanguages,those religiousbeliefsandstudyingtheagriculturalprob- lems."

Recently,theBritishSundaynewspapertheObserver publishedanexclusiveinterviewwithProf.I.I.Potekin, directorofanewinstitute setupbytheSovietAcademyofSciencesinMoscow whichwasdescribedas"a high-poweredAfricaninstitutecomposedof50leading SovietexpertsonAfrica."

Theprofessorcomplainedthat"colonialpowers"are preventingAfricanscholars fromgoingtotheSoviet Union.

Butanincreasingnumber ofAfricanstudentsaregoingtocommunistcountries, Mr.Headadded.

"OnecanfindAfricanstudentsstudyinginMoscow, Prague,EastGermany. Rumanian,Bulgariaand China,"hesaid."Theygo thereforfive-yearcourses, practicallyallofthemtakingtechincalsubjects,all withideologythrownin.

"Thereare3,000suchstudentsinPraguealone.The studentscomenotonlyfrom AfricabutfromtheMiddle EastandSouth-EastAsiaas well.

"InPolandtherearestudentsfromtheSudan,Togoland,Nigeria,Jordan,Tunisia,EgyptandAlgeria."

OnRussianpropaganda, hesaid:

"Therearecheappaperbackedsubsidisedbooks whichareprintedinMoscow

Emphasisingtheneedfor Westernco-operationin helpingunder-developed countries,Mr.Headcited Kenya,aBritishAfrican colony,asanexample.

"IfKenyahad£A7,500,000 foreducationitwouldbea greathelp,"hesaid."I wouldratherhaveagood educationschemeinKenya thanaBluestreak(guided missile)."

Mr.Headconcluded:

"Idonotbelievethatthe nursuitofmaterialwellbeingisenoughforWestern civilisationorwillkeepitin goodhealth.

Atfirst,thecommonlanguage,Greek,wasused.But, gradually,differentpeoples begantomakeuseoftheir ownlanguages,suchas SyriacandArabic.

AtRome,naturally,Latin replacedGreek.Asitwas fromRomethatthefaith spreadthroughoutWestern Europe,Latinbecamethe acceptedliturgicallanguage intheWesternChurch.

CatholicsInU.K.Parliament

ProveWidelyRepresentative

London:ResultsoftheOctobergeneral electioninBritainwarranttheconclusion that,politicallyspeaking,theCatholicsof thiscountryarerepresentativeofthepopulationasawhole.

Theelectionshowedconclusivelythatthe"Catholic vote"-ifindeedthereissuchathing-favours neithermajorparty,ConservativeorLabour.

TheelectionincreasedCatholicrepresentationin BritainsHouseofCommonsandCatholicmembersof Parliamentarenowalmostexactlyfourpercent.of thetotal.

TwoCatholicmembersofthelastHouseofCommons losttheirseatsandanotherdidnotstandforre-election. SixCatholics,however,wereelectedforthefirsttime.

Whatisstrikingishownearlythedivisionamong CatholicMPsbetweentheConservativeandLabour partiesreflectsthedivisionbetweentheminParliament asawhole.

Fifty-eightcandidatesknowntobeCatholicswere amongthoseupforelection.Ofthese,25wereConservatives,22weremembersoftheLabourpartyand eightwereLiberals.

Ofthe58candidates25wereelected-14asConservativesand11asrepresentativesoftheLabour party. -

NotoneoftheeightCatholicLiberalcandidateswas elected,butseveralofthem-againfollowingthe nationaltrend-considerablyincreasedtheLiberal poll.

OneCatholicwasamongseveralLiberalcandidates whobeattheLabourcandidateforsecondplaceina seatwonbytheConservatives.

Catholicsmaysometimesbesurprisedwhenthey hearofBritishCatholicswhosupporttheLiberalparty, forithasoftenhappenedonthecontinentofEurope, forexample,thatpoliticalLiberalismhasbeenbound upwithanintellectualliberalismwhichmakesnoplace fortheChurch.

ButBritainisfortunatethatallthepartiesare equallyacceptabletotheCatholicconscience-except ofcoursetheCommunistparty,whichnevercame closetowinninganyofthesmallnumberofseats whichitcontested.

ChristHimselfpromised thisSacramenttoHisApostles."TheHolySpiritwill comeuponyou,andyou willreceivestrengthfrom Him;youaretobemywitnessesinJerusalemand throughoutJudea,inSamaria,andtotheendsofthe earth."(Acts1,8).

ThroughBaptism,we wereonlycapableofaccomplishingourownsalvation,butthroughConfirmation,wereceivethepower toproclaimaloudourChristianfaith.

WebecomeactivemembersoftheChurch,andnot

"N Isigntheewith thesignoftheCross,and Iconfirmtheewiththe chrismofSalvation,inthe` NameoftheFather,andof theSon,andoftheHoly Ghost.Amen."
