FatherO'Brienwentonto saythattradeunionswere onlyoneaspectoftheproblemoftheworldoutsidethe Catholicfamily.Themain problemwasthefactthat mostpeopleinAustralia werenon-Catholicsand lookedlikeremainingnonCatholicsindefinitelyifthe presentrateofconversions continued.

Statisticswerecitedto showthatintheArchdiocese therewereabout100,000 Catholicstoabout500,000 non-Catholics.Only200to 300adultswerebeingreceivedintotheChurcheach year.Atthesametimemany Catholicadultsfellaway fromthepracticeoftheir religionsothattheChurch wasreallystandingstillif notactuallylosingground.

TheCatholicfamily, FatherO'Brienconcluded, wasinevitablyinfluencedby theworldoutsideit.Catholics,therefore,shouldtakea positiveattitudetochangingtheworldinwhichtheir familieshadtolive.

SpeakingattheApplecrossCanaConferencerecently,Mr.W.J.Mangini,B.Sc.,drewonthefindingsofchildpsychologiststooutline thelikelyreactionsofchildrengrowingupintheAustraliansocialenvironment.Heclaimedthattheproperspiritualdevelopmentof childrenrequiredadynamicandapostolicCatholicismonthepartoftheparents.Apostolicwork,farfrombeingaprivilegeoftheelite, wasabasicparentalresponsibility.

Thefollowingextracts containthemainpoints madeinamostunusual lecture:

Thefirstreligioustruth thatachildcouldlearn,Mr. Manginisaid,wasthatits parentslovedGod.Itwas important,hesaid,thatthey shouldlearnthatfirstreligioustruthquiteearlybecausethroughittheycould cometoknowthemostimportantfactaboutthemselves.Iftheydidnotcome toknowthecentralfact aboutthemselvesinearly childhoodtheymighthave tolearnitthehardway,and itmightneverbecomereally familiartothemuntilthey died.Thecentralfactabout themselves,ofcourse,was thattheywerecreatedby GodtoknowHim,loveHim andserveHiminthislife andtobehappywithHim foreverinthenext.

Ifchildrenaretograsp thistruthinawaythatit willbereallyusefultothem itisbestthattheygraspit ataveryearlyage.They candothis.Tounderstand how,wehavetoconsider thewayinwhichchildren liveandlearn;whatgoeson insidethechild'smind.

Thewholepsychologyof thechildisdirectedtowards anadult.Thisisafundamentaltruthofchildpsychology.Thewholebeingof achildisaimedatbeingan adult.Heunderstandsthis, thoughnotverywell,right fromthebeginning.He doesnotsticktoitverywell.

Hehashisperiodswhenhe doesn'twanttogrowup, whenhewantstobesmall againandnestleintohis mother;butmostlyhewants togrowup.Andallhisaim istogrowintohisidealof anadult.

Hehasaparticularpictureofhimself,whichis ratherobscuresometimes anddreadfullyclearat others.Itisapictureofthe sortofpersonhewantsto be.Atthebeginningofhis lifethereisonlyonepair ofadultsheknows,onlyone idealhecanhave,andifhe isaimingtobelikehis

parents,asheisinthefirst fewyearsofhislife,isit notterriblyimportantthat hisparentsloveGod?

IfGodreallymeanssomethinginthelifeofthe parentsHewillmeansomethinginthechild'slife,too.

Iftheparentsaredeeply convincedthattheywere createdbyGodforHimself andnotforanythingelse butHimself;thatHeput themintheworldtolivein theworld,tousetheworld, buttouseittocometoHim; iftheyarereallyconvinced aboutthis,thenitwillshow itselfinsomanywaysasto becomeapparenttothe child.Hisidealadultwill thenbesomeonewhoisset oncomingtoGodfirstofall.

GrowthByImitation

Achildwantstogrowup, tobecomeanadult.But howdoeshecarryonthis processofwantingtogrow up?Hedoesitbyimitating. Thisimitativelifeofthe childismostsignificant. Sometimesitdoesnotshow itselfasimitating,butinside thechildthatiswhatitis. Whenhepushesalittle match-boxcararoundon thelino,inspiritthisisno littlematch-boxcar;he's hammeringdownthefreewaylikeDaddoes.Hehas builthimselfalittleworld offantasytryingtomake himselfbigger.Butallthe timeheimitates. Becauseofthisimitative characteristicweoweitto ourchildrentostrivefor spiritualperfection. We wantourchildrentobegood Catholicsandtheeasiest waywecangetthemtodo thisisbytryingtobegood Catholicsourselves. Thisisaratherhardway ofdoingit.Iwouldliketo thinktherewereeasier ways,buttherearenot.It isnotmadeanyeasierby thefactthatwehavetobe utterlyconsistentinthis matter.Itisn'tanygood merelypretendingtobe extragoodCatholics.The childwillimitatewhathe sees,andunfortunatelyhe

Ifthechildthinksthereis anythingfalseaboutushe willimitatethat.Hedoesn't haveanentirelyunmixed desireforgood;hehasthe oldmanAdamstillpretty prominentinhismake-up, andthisoldmanistugging onewaywhilehis"oldman" istuggingtheother.Which waythechildwillgodependsalotonwhoputsup themostconsistentperformance.

Thereis,ofcourse,anotherreasonforstrivingfor spiritualperfectioninthis matter.Itisnotatrivial reason.Inordertodefeat theoldmanAdam,thechild needsthegraceofGod.Althoughhecanearnafair bitofthishimself,wehave totrytogetmoreforhim.

Thatispartofourduty asparents.Wereceivethe graceofGodthroughthe Sacraments,throughprayer, throughworksofcharity, andweshouldusethese thingstowingraceforour children,becausetheyneed itinthedifficulttaskof growinguptobegood Catholics.

Now,whenachildisone ortwoyearsold,hecansee onlyMumandDadandper- hapshisbigbrother.He imitatesthem.Whenhe growsabitolderhestarts lookingaroundforother peopleandotherthingsto imitate.Hegetsabitsick ofthefamilycircle.Thisis quitenormal:Godmade himthatway.Ifhedidnot, thenhewouldneverbranch outforhimself.Youwould neverhaveanygrand- children.

Butwhenthechildgrows upandlooksforothersto imitateinourlocalsurroundings,heislikelytobecomethemakingsofafirstclassteenageproblem.Mum andDadwerecentredon eternity:Nineoutoften otherpeoplethathesees arenot.Theyarecentred onthisworldinnouncertainmanner.

Reds&BigBusinessMonopoly

OneofthesmartesttricksintheCommunistboxis thepretencethatthePartyisagainstmonopoly.Of course,itistruethattheyareagainstmonopoliesas theyexistinthedemocracies,i.e.controlledbycapitalists.Buttheyareallformonoplyin_Communist countries,fortotalStateownershipofproductivepropertyisacardinaldoctrineinMarxisttext-books,even thoughacapitalistclasshasbeenrecreatedintheSoviet Union.Onthereversesideofthepicturenothingsuits Communismsowellastheincreasinggripwhich monopolyisgainingonthenationaleconomiclife,both byincreasedGovernmentalcontrolandtheirresponsibilityofprivatefinancialinterests.Itwillmake theeventualtake-oversocomparativelypainless.

Tomaintainmonoplyinacapitalisteconomyitwill eventuallybenecessaryforthemonopoliststobeable tomanipulateGovernments.ThatiswhyinAustralia today,withaGovernmentwhichdoesnotrepresent working-classintereststoanydegreeandintheabsence ofaunitedandeffectiveOpposition,monopolyinterests havegrownandflourishedtoadisastrousdegree.

Thereisarealconsonanceofinterestsbetween monopolycapitalismandrevolutionarymovements.It explainswhySchiffandhisassociatesofKuhn,Loeb& Co.financedtheBolshevikrevolutionandTheissenthe Nazirevolution.Afterall,millionairescanonlyhave moneyandpowerandthesetheycanobtainunderboth Communismandcapitalism.Wheneverademocratic regimeseemstobebecomingshaky,eitherthrough internalsubversionorexternalthreat,theverywealthy arequitewillingtochangesides.Theyareableto maintaintheirpositionsintheupheavalbothbecause theyprovidecapitalandbecausetheyhavetheexperienceinmanagement.

BasicErrorsOfMr.Chamberlain

RecentlyontelevisiontherehavebeentwoPress interviewswhichconstitutedakindofindirectdebate onthecausesofthesplitintheLaborPartyandits prospectsforthefuture.Whatemergesisthatallthe conflictcentresuponCommunismandLaborwillingnessandabilitytocontrolsubversioninitsindustrial wingandforeignpolicy.

Mr.F.E.Chamberlainhas,inrecentyears,beenmost insistentthattheLaborPartyisa"partyofprinciple." Nowifthatnotioniscorrectitshouldnotbepossible todividetheprincipleoftheParty.fromitsleadership. ButthechiefsofthePartyhaveexhibitedthemost astonishingmobilityintheirinterpretationsofLabor policytogetherwithanintoleranceofoppositionreminiscentoftheworstexcessesbothofCommunismand Fascism(exceptthattheLaborpurgeswerebloodless).

ItsspokesmansaysforthrightlythatLabor"abhors Communism."Certainlyafterthesmashingofthe industrialgroups,Mr.Chamberlain,drivenintoa corner,statedthatLaborwouldhandleCommunismin itsownway.Thesamecriticstodaymightwellchallengehimastowhathasbeendoneinthatdirection. AfterMr.Chambleraindeniedontelevisionthat180 ofthedelegatesatthelastA.C.T.U.CongressinMelbournehadbeenCommunist,hesubsequentlyadmitted thatalthoughonly25weremembersoftheCommunist Party,165delegates"hadfoundcommonground"with theRedsonaverycontroversialquestion.Itisbeyond denial,anyway,thatMr.Chamberlain'sforeignpolicy isindistinguishablefromthatoftheCommunists',that hepersonallyfavoursunityticketsandthatheisquite unrepentantaboutbackingRedpeacemovements.

Mr.Chamblerain,moreover,persistsinadelusion aboutthecausesofCommunism,whichisdemonstrably unsound."Inanycountrywhereeconomicconditions arelow,"hesaid,"therewillbeafeelingofrevolton thepartofthepeople."Thecatchaboutthatstatement isitssuggestionthatCommunismcomesfrombelowas apopularrevolution.yQuitesimply,thatisuntrueof anycountryintheworld,includingparticularlythe SovietUnion.Notonlyweretheorganisersofthe BolshevikRevolutionnotoftheworkingclass,they werenotevenRussian.Ifeveraminoritymovement couldandcanclaimcredititwasandisintheRussian Revolution.LikewiseinChinatherewasnosortof initialpopularsupportforthebanditswhoharassed theKoumintangregimeandaretodaythedefacto rulersofChina.

Ontheotherhand,probablynocountryintheworld ismorebackwardorpoorerthanIndia.Yetonedoes notfindthepopulaceinrevoltnorinpronouncedsympathywithCommunism.Onthecontrary,theCommunistthreatisexternalasitwasinRussiaandis causingconsiderablereactionoffearandhateagainst theforeignaggressors.TheChinesedeclaredaimof "liberating"thecountriesalongIndia'snorthernfrontierisnot,inthelightofTibet'sfate,evokingany notablepopularenthusiasm.Likewisethefermentin Africa,wheretheblackpopulationisundeniablypoor andoppressedisnotexplodingintozealforCommunism,butintointensenationalism,despitethefactthat someoftheblackleadershavereceivedafirst-class Sovieteducation.

Anotherveryimportantaspectofthismatteristhat Communismhasnotbeeninstitutedinanycountryin theworld(withtheexceptionofKeralainIndia) throughdemocraticprocesses.Ithastakenoverby revolutionarytacticsinmanynationsinthenameof liberation,butalmosteverywhereitreignsliving standardshavedropped,notablyinEasternEurope.

Communismhasneverrisenfrombelowasaspontaneous,popularmajoritymovement.Inevitablyitis imposedfromabove,contrivedbyaminority,usually bourgeois.

SothatparticularhareofMr.Chamberlainsimply willnotstart.Indeed,hedoesnotneedtogoabroad tofindthat,despitethebuoyanteconomicconditionsin thiscountry,Communismisshowingnosignsof decline.InasimilarflightoffancyMr.Chamblerlain claimedthattheCommunistPartywasabreakaway groupfromtheA.L.P.Thatisacaseofthetailwagging thedogwithavengeance,ofinvertingcauseandeffect. -Communismdiffersnotonlyindegreebutinkindfrom socialismandtraditionalLabor,whichhasneverbeen whole-heartedaboutfull-blownsocialism.Inaddition itexistedquiteatimebeforeLaborpartiessawthe lightofday.

Intheclearestpossibleterms(andontwooccasions) theAustralianpeoplehaveaffirmedtheirdetermination tohavenothingtodowithLaborwhileitpersistsinthe Redalliance.Dr.Evatt,anyhow,hasseenthelight, evenindisillusionment.ButthereisnosignthatMr. Chamberlainhasseenthewritingonthewall,unless hisdeparturefromtheFabiansindicatesthatheis preparedtokeephisfeetontheearth.

Vincentwasalsoawarethatwomen'sheartsarevery sensitivetothepainanddistressofothers,moresympathetictowardsthelessfortunate,andthat,therefore, hemustenlisttheirhelpinhiscampaignofcharity; moreoverhadnotOurLordco-optedtheservicesof womeninHisworks?HisMother,MarthaandMary, otherrelatives,theSamaritanWomanatJacob'sWell, thesehadbeenhisaides.Thesemustbethereasons whywefindSt.Vincentincontactwithsomanyladies ofeveryclassanddegreefromtheQueenherselftothe latestpostulantoftheDaughtersofCharity.

THEORDEROFTHEVISITATION

BesidesthecollaborationofSt.LouisedeMarillac, hewasverycloselyassociatedwithSt.JeanneFrances deChantal,theFoundressoftheNunsoftheVisitation withSt.FrancisdeSales.VincentwasaskedbySt. FrancistobetheSuperioroftheseNunsinParis,which meantthatheguidedanddirectedtheiractivities,the chiefofwhichwastheeducationofgirlsofthenoble andwell-to-dofamilies.HenriettaMaria,whowasto betheQueenofCharlesIofEngland,wasoneoftheir pupils.Regulatingthespiritandteaching,theprogrammesandobjectivesandgovernmentoftheseNuns gaveVincentareallywidesphereofinfluenceamong thedaughtersofFrance.

ProfessorAmilcarAlivisates,canonistandtheologianoftheGreekChurch, thinksthatcallinganEcumenicalCouncilisatpresentanimpossibility,asthe preparatoryconditions, whichsupposalongtheologicallabour,arelacking.

APanorthodoxSynod couldbecalled,butitwould notbeecumenical.Onthe otherhand,theOrthodox Churchcouldnotparticipate unconditionallyinanEcumenicalSynodoftheRoman CatholicChurch.

Forthisreason,fromthe Orthodoxpointofview,the convokingofanEcumenical Councilissimplyimpossible atthepresenttime.

E.P.G.,NewSouthWales:OurLordgave HisChurchthepowerofforgivingsin,say- ing:"Whosesinsyouforgive,theyareforgiventhem."

R.:Thatistrue,aswearetoldinJn.20:23. Q.:Ifasinnersincerelyrepents,promisingnottocommitthesinagain,thesinconfessedshouldbetotally andunconditionallyforgivenbytheabsolutionofthe priest.Yet absolution,theChurchsaysthat,evengranted westillhavetodopenanceandmake reparationeitherinthislifeorthenext,beforewe cangotoheaven.Ifthesinconfessedistotallyfor- given,whyneedofsuchexpiation?

R.:Thesinistotallyforgivenasregardsitsguilt,or asanoffenceagainthemajestyofGod.

Butineverysintherearetwoelements,aturning awayfromGod,andaturningtothingsforbiddenby Godandinwhichweseekanevilself-indulgence.

EventhoughGodforgivestherepentantsinnerthe offenceagainstHimself,Hewillyetexactpenalties accordingtothedegreeandnumberofsinsinwhichwe soughtself-gratification.

Godismerciful,yes;butHeisalsojust.

Anditcannotpaytomultiplyoursinsontheeasy assumptionthatweonlyhavetoregretandconfess themtogetforgivenessofthem,withnomoreaboutit.

WhenKingDavid,whohadcommittedadulteryand murder,aswearetoldintheOldTestament,repented, GodsentNathantheprophettohimwiththemessage thatbecausehehadrepentedhissinwouldbeforgiven butthat,nevertheless,becausehehaddonesuchthings, thechildborntohimwouldsurelydie.

SoGodbothforgavethesin,yetexactedapenalty. David,althoughforgiventhesin,hadtoexpiatehisillgottenpleasuresbybittersorrow, ThatprinciplewasnotabolishedbytheNewTestament.OurLordHimselfsaidthat,atjudgment,Hewill "rendertoeverymanaccordingtohisworks"(Matt. 16:27),whilstSt.Paultellsus:"WemustallbemanifestedbeforethejudgmentseatofChrist,thateveryone mayreceive accordingashehathdone,whetherit begoodorevil"(2Cor.5:10).

Ecclesiastically,theterritoryofAlgeriaisdivided intotheArchdioceseofAlgierswiththeSuffraganSees ofOranandConstantineand theDioceseofLagouatin theSahara,whichisunder thejurisdictionofthe SacredCongregationforthe PropagationoftheFaith.

HUNGERONTHEMISSIONFIELDS

Wheneverthereishungerandwant,twosolutions areimmediatelyproposed:

(1)Thepreventionoflife beforebirth,whichisrecommendedin"democraticcountries";

(2)Thedestructionoflife afterbirthwhichisthe Communistsolution,and isbetterknownas"liquidation." Bothareequallywrong. G.KChestertononcesaid thesecondwayshowed moresense,becauseitwaits untilapersonhasgrownto maturity,thusgivinganopportunitytomakeaselectionamongthe"victims." The"democraticway"might besnuffingoutofthelives ofShakespeares,Miltons, Xavierswithoutevergiving themachancetodevelop.
