DemocratsWarned AgainstSocialism

IByMgr.JamesI.Tucek)

Rome:Forthethirdtimewithinamonth ItalianbishopshavewarnedCatholicsagainst supportingaMarxisttypeofsocialism.

Atleasttwoofthesewarningswereclearlydirected againstattemptsbyleftistelementsoftheChristian DemocraticpartytoresolveItaly'stwo-month-old governmentcrisisbyseekingthesupportofsocialists.

ThemostrecenthascomefromtheBishopsofthetwo regionsofSalernoandLucaniainSouthernItaly.They issuedajointcommuniquerecallingthewarningsofthe HolySeeagainstcommunistsandtheirsocialistallies.

Thisadmonitionfollowedajointstatementbythe BishopsoftheMarcheregioninCentralItalycautioningtheirpeoplenottohavepoliticaldealingswith Marxistsocialism.Theypointedoutthatthespiritual sanctionswhichtheChurchimposesonthosewhojoin orsupportcommunismalsoapplytothosewhosupport anypoliticalalliesofcommunism,meaningItalianleftwingsocialists.

Thefirstwarningwasajointpastoralletterofthe entireItalianHierarchywhichdescribedgrowingoppositiontotheinfluenceoftheChurchandreligioninthe country.Althoughpoliticalpartieswerenotnamedby thepastoral,itdiddefendtheChurch'srighttoinstruct thefaithfulonsocialquestions.

Thepresentdocument,addressedtothepriestsand CatholicsoftheSalerno-Lucaniaregions,says:"The EpiscopalConferenceofSalerno-Lucania,meetingin assemblyatSalerno,dutifullytakingintoconsideration theanxietiesofsomanysonsoftheChurchwhowish tohavesureguidanceinthemidstofsomuchdisorientation,whichcouldeveningoodfaithleadtothe overthrowofthefreeandhealthyinstitutionsofthe Christianfatherland,remindseveryone,especially thosewhohavethegraveresponsibilityofrepresenting democraticallytheCatholicswhoelectedthem,oftheir dutytoholdhighthestandardoftheChristianprincipleswhichmustinspireeverymanifestationofpublic andprivatelife."

TheBishopsstatedclearlytherightsandresponsibilitiesofCatholics,andmadethepointthattheydid notintendtotouchuponquestionsthatwerepurely political.Theyputasidepoliticalconsiderationsand insistedthattheymeanttoconfinethemselvesstrictly toreligiousreasonsonwhichtheyhavearighttospeak.

LikethepreviousstatementoftheBishopsofthe Marche,theBishopsofSalernoandLucaniarepeated theHolySee'scondemnationofcommunismandits excommunicationofallwhojoinorsupportit.

The"secret"waswrittendowntwodecadesagoby SisterLucy-theonlysurvivorofthethreeshepherd childrentowhomthe1917manifestationsweregranted.SisterLucy-bornLucydosSantos-later becameaReligiousoftheSistersofSt.Dorothy.She wrotetheaccountattherequestofFatima'sbishop.

"Toomuchemphasisthesedaysisbeing giventofightforourhumanrights,"Dr. LeongYewKoh,MinisterforJusticeinthe MalayanParliamentsaidwhileaddressing theclosingsessionoftheAsianSeminarof theYoungChristianWorkers'Movementat KualaLumpurlastmonth.

"Letusforgetourhumanrights,"heurged, "andinsteadponderuponourgreathumon responsibies."

"Acceptanceoftheseresponsibilitiesgiveusapositivevisioninlife,areason forliving,adutywhich, wellperformed,willnot onlybringlifeandhappinesstothosewhomwe serve,butwillgivetous asindividualsaninnerhappinessthatamereconsiderationofourrightswillneverbring."

ThisweektheAustralian contingentofsevenmembersarrivedhomeandthey werehighintheirpraise oftheaccomplishmentsof theSeminar.

SeventeenAsiannations werepresentandallhave returnedtotheirnative countrieswithafirmconvictionofthemethodsof theYoungChristianWorkers'Movementandadesiretoestablishevenmore widelytheinfluenceof trainedyouthleaders.

AllmembersoftheAustraliansdelegationwereenthusiasticallyreceivedby thevariousrepresentatives oftheAsiancountriesand allfeltthatAustraliahas animportantparttoplay inthefuturedeveloon-,ent oftheAsianpeoples.

OWResponsibility

MissBettyKing,retiringNationalSecretaryof theGirlsbranchofthe Y.C.W.,whowasoneofthe delegates,emphasisedthe responsibilityAustraliahas ofsendingtrainedleaders ofyouthtothesecountries toinspirethenativeyouth toseekoutthetremendous possibilitiesbeforethem.

"Wecannotcopewith thebigindustrialandfinancialproblemsofthesecountries,"MissKingsaid,"but wecantacklethesmall problemsofdailylifeofthe greatmassesofthese youth."

"Afterall,"shecontinued,"itisreallythelittle thingsthatmakeuplife andwefirmlybelievethat ifwecancoaxanumberof ourtrainedyouthleaders tovolunteerforworkin Asia,wecoulddoagreat dealtoalleviatesomeofthe deficienciesinthelivesof theyoungAsianworkers."

Manyproblemsforeignto ourownwayoflifewere broughthometotheAustraliandelegates. The scourgeofunemployment wasalmostunbelievable. Notonlytheunskilled,but manywelleducatedand evenuniversityqualified youngmenfounditimpos-

sibletogetemployment.

WhereinAustraliaone mightask,"Whereareyou working"the.normalapproachinAsiawouldmore likelybe"Areyouworking?"

Oneconsequenceofthis, wethought,wasthattoo manyyouthhaveaccepted unemploymentasinevitable andsohavelosttheirinitiativetofindwork,orindeed, tocreatework.

Withoutquestion,oneof thegreatestneedsofAsiais theemancipationofwomen. Intoomanycountriesstill, womenareregardedasinferiorandlittlemorethan servantsoftheirmenfolk.

Perhapslittlecanbedone amongsttheolderpeople aboutthisproblem,butcertainlytheyouthmustbe trainedtoacceptwomenin theirrightfulrole.Itcame asagreatshocktoour youngAustralianstodiscoverthatinmanyAsian countriestheolddowry systemisstillinforce.

Indeed,somedelegatesindicatedthatmorethan75 percentofthemarriagesof theircountrywerestill"arranged"bytherespective parents.Naturallyenough, thisbringswithitmuch unhappinessbecauseoften marriagesareenteredinto withlittleornoreallove.

Y.C.W.'sthroughoutAsia havebeenaskedtoconduct anenquiryonthisdifficult problemofpreparationfor marriageandtheresults willbediscussedatthenext WorldAssemblyofthe Y.C.W.tobeheldlatenext year.

"Severallargedamsnow underconstructionwillbe irrigatingthedesertin northcentralIndiawithin fiveyears,"ArchbishopFernandessaid."Whenthese acrescomeintoproduction, we'llnotonlyhavemore food,butwe'llneedmore workersinthefields.
