Steady Dating

Thursday, April 11. 1957

Distinctions Outlined To G'uide Youn'g Folk By Joseph A. Breig Cleveland Universe Bulletin

I wish that the people who make speeches inwhlch they denounce "steady dating" would define their terms and make careful distinctions. Or, if they really are distinguishing and defining, but are not being adequate­ ly quoted in the public press, linked like chains, is too much like seeing people lead each, oth­ then I wish the reporters er by rings in their noses. Perhaps the most depressing would report m 0 l' e c 0 m­ pletely what they say. I am afraid there is an impres­ Ilion in many minds that if the Ilame young man and the young woman are seen together a doz­ en times a year, they are en­ gaging in what is called steadY d a tin g. But they aren't. I fear also that many peo­ ple are coming to feel that a 'youth must nec­ essarily select a different girl almost every time he goes to a school dance or some such festivity; and that she must select a different boy. But that is not so. What, in fact, is the nature of the steady datfng against which young people are being warned, and need to be warned? It is something that ordinarlly has a touch of goofiness about it, and can be defined with reasonable accuracy. It involves young people Who are in no position to marry with­ in, say a couple of years, or who in any case have no intention of so doing. Meaning of "Steady" "Steady dating," properly de­ fined, means that two such peo­ ple are together a great deal, perhaps a couple of times week­ ly or oftener, and that frequent­ ly they are alone together, or at least accompanied only by one other couple. Usually, steady dating also means that this young man and young woman select each other exclusively, or nearly exclusively. They seldom or never make' "dates" with other boys or girls. Three chief excesses are in­ volved. There is excess in fre­ quency of association; excess in exclusiveness, and excess in aloneness or privacy. The note of goofiness enters because this over-dating leads to public displays of possessiveness -displays which are ludicrous, llI-mannered and embarrassing to everybody. Even the apparently innocent practice of everlastingly walking hand in hand, or with fingers

effect is the loss of femininity and masculinity. I mean that the young people involved in these excessive attachments tend to lose identity, individuality and distinctiveness. Should Retain Identity They become over-dependent on each other. It is as if each were the opium of the other; and both grow dopey. , The girl no longer likes to be with girls. She does not enjoy the special lighthearted fun of female gatherings. She feels in­ 'complete without the' chap to whom she has grown fast. She is entirely too much his properby. She is more his ;proper­ ty than" she ought to be even if she were his wife. Even in marriage, the two per­ sonalities ought to retain their dignity. Husband ought not to . be submerged in wife, nor wife in husband. As husband and wife, they are two in one, flesh, but they re­ main two souls, each with the right and duty of ultimate self­ reliance and self-respect. The young man suffers even more than the young woman in these over attachments, because manliness, of its nature, is more independent than womanliness. Master and Control The "steadY-dating" boy ceas­ es to share the vigorous pleasure of male gatherings. No longer. shall we say, does he belong to himself and to the male sex; he belongs to a woman. He is bound as if with apron strings. Youth is a time for larking and gregarious gatherings. It ia time for getting acquainted with a great many people; for becom­ ing a familiar and cheerful mem­ ber of the human famUy. But all this is not to say that young men and women should not have preferences. Of course they wlIl have preferences, but they must not let them get out of hand. . If young people are to become what they really want to become -self-reliant and mature men and women-they will master' and control their dating as they master and control other things.. They wlll do some straight think­ ing about it, and guide them­ selves accordingly.

The Church forbids a priest to read Mass without a server or someone In attendance. Why? Because the Mass Is the sacrifice of the Mystfca~ Body of Christ which is the Church. On the cross Our Lord offered Himself alone; In the Mass we offer ourselves with Him. On the Cross Our Lord was Offerer and Offered, Priest and Victim; in the Mass Our Lord with His Mystloal Body the Church Is both Priest and Victim; Of­ ferer and Offered. After the priest offers the Chalice he lowers it to the altar anc! swings it in the four,directlons of the earth, saying that it is offered for the "salvation of the whole world". North, South, East and West. the fruits of redemption are invoked upon the world. China, India, Tonga Islands, Russia, Tibet are all inclUded. The priest becomes a ilant straddling the world as he extends the Chalice over the heads of 1,500,000,000 pagans who know not that Christ died for theIr sins. ( Each time you assist at Mass you are involved with Christ and you are involved with the world; you are seeking to plant Calvary in pagan lands lIB Calvary is renewed on the altar before you. The Mass is mission-minded, because It involves the whole world. When you assist at Mass think not of one partiCUlar spot but the whole earth as groaning for redemption. Never offer the sacrifice of Christ without makln&" a sacrifice. He died for the world; so must you. He is Redeemer with a Capital R, yOU are a redeemer with a small r. prolong that saorifloe In your daily life. Never let a day &,0 b,y without some tiny act of self-denial e.g., not buying a magazine or a soft drink or a hard drink or some candy-and at the end of the month send the sacrifice to the Holy Father through the So­ ciety for the Propagation of the Faith, his Mission Society. GOD LOVE YOU to W.F.B. for' $25 "In gratitude for the suc­ cessful settlement of a court hearing." ••• to M.J.K. for $25 "Given for the love of God." ... to the three K's "This $5 is the sacrlflce of a school boy's lunch, a father's nip of beer and a mother's scrimp­ ing here and there'" .. to C,M.C. "This $1 for the poor of the world that maybe these slight gifts 111 save the souls of the persecutors of the world." .... to E "I took butter away from myself for thirty days and saved perhaps $3-it's for the Missions." ... to L.R.

Unions For Common Good

"The sponsors of the proposed legislation claim that a funda­ mental right of the Individual is invaded if he must join a union. I do not agree with this view­ point. It is neither Immoral nor unethical to require union mem­ bership for the greater common aood of the group. In our modern and complex' society everyone is subject to prohibitions and res­ traints as well as to mandatory rules of conduct based on ,the common good of'the group. "Thc Church encourages the union movement and memben ship therein as generally neces­ sary to insure the worker his ahare of social justice, The "rlght-to-work" bills. if enacted into law, would seriously affect union membership. They would injure the labor movement. which. when it acts in accord­ ance with sound moral princi­ ples, has' our full support. Fur­ thermore the legislation would be a disruptive factor in the in­ dustrial economy. For these rea­ sons I am opposed, to .the so­ called "right-to-work" bills."

Bishop Placed Under Arrest VIENNA (NC) - The Red Hungarian government of Janos Kadar has arrested a Cathollc Bishop and several other import­ ant Church omclals In what observers consider a new at­ tempt to gain control of the Church in Hungal·Y. The reports state that Bishop Jozsef Peterys of Vacz. in north­ ern Hungary. has been placed under house arrest. Also reported confined are Cistercian Abbot Wendelin End­ redy, Msgr. Andrew Zakar. for­ mer personal secretary of His Eminence Jozsef Cardinal Mlnds­ zenty. Primate of Hungary. and Father Horwarth. all official of the Gyoer cathedral. Reports of the arrests were confirmed following the apparent failure of talks between Arch­ bishop Jozsef Groesz of Kalocsa and government officials of the office of Church Affairs and of the ministry of education on Church-state affairs. Since the Kadar government seems determined to fill these and other posts with its own "peace priests" it is feared by some observers that Bishop MI­ chael Endrey. whom the Holy See has placed in charge of Cardinal Mlndszenty's See of Esztergom. and his vicar-general•. Father Schwarz-Eggenhofer. wllt be un­ able to exel'cise their functions.

But that is what Sister Mary Howard is doing in the physics laboratory here at the Catholic University of America. A Sister of Notre Dame, she is believed to be the only nun who is investi­ gating scientific phenomena un­ der U.S. Army auspices.

Sister Mary Howard said she meant liquids with a temperature of about 350 degrees below zero. "Of course," she added non­ chalantly, "keeping some of these liquids below room temperature is important because they are highly explosive." One of the liquids Sister Mary Howard works with is etllyl chloride. It is often used in SUi,-' gical operat~ons to freeze .an in­ fected part of· the body. Ethyl chloride boils at room tempera­ ture, changes into a gas and becomes highly explosive.

We Are Most Grateful The Catholics of the Diocese of Fall River will always be grateful to the newspapers, to the radio and television

stations that service this area. The cooperation and go~d will that these have always shown to the Church is deserv­ ing of the highest praise and deepest appreciation. Ours Is a predominantly Catholic area, and so we would natu­ rally expect the public service media to reflect this fact: That Jt has done so in such a large measure and in such a fail way is, nonetheless, gratifying. Their pledge to aid us in this, new venture, The Anchor, is another expression of kindness. We shall call upon them often for their help; we have been assured that' , It will be forthcoming. For this-our siJ1.cere thanks.

"To live as Christians, to feel as Christians, to think

as Christians in a society which is not Christian, when

we see, hear and read almost nothing which does not of­

fend or contradict Christianity; wJ?en especially life places'

ali obligation on us, and charity often gives us the duty

of not making a visible break with the ideas and customs that we reprove, all this is difficult and hardly possible." A Ji'rench philosopher has described accurately the atmosphere in which we live and work and recreate. People are more interested in material things than in things spiritual and to an ever-increasing degree; sin is consid­ ered an archaic notion; immorality is paraded as glamour or "realism;" God is given lip service-sometimes-and little more. Small wonder. that a noted preacher has told bis indifferent congregation: "God is so far from your minds that you don't think of Him even to take His Name in vain.''' . When this is the attitude of an age, the whole ~n­ vironment must change before we can expect significant changes for the better in individuals. Recent Popes, ever sensitive to the moods of the time, have pointed this out -the battle between good and evil is not isolated in an' individual but must be fought against the background of his family, his work, his friends, his environment. This is the function of a Catholic newspaper - to try to change the atmosphere of society. The Catholic newspaper is not out to air prejudices, to grind axes-that attitude generates more heat than light. The Catholic, newspaper aims at reporting the news, taking the most practical' approach possible-recognizing that God and the things of God have a place in the affairs of men and nations. The informed Catholic, is in a position to in­ fluence his envir~nment and to put God where He belongs. , The Catholic newspaper guides him in doing this. We do ~ot believe that it is forcing issues to mention God in connection with them. We do not believe that this Is taking a partisan view. Once we accept the fact of God -His existence, His supremacy over us, man's accounta­ bility to Him-then how can God lJe ignored? And yet this is the evil of the atmosphere that we are trying to change. God is kept in the realm of the theoretical-it is respectable to believe in Him but don't let Him into every­ day life. The attitude seems to be that God is wonderful in Church on Sunday morning-but keep Him out ,of work, business, recreation, family affairs, wherever He might prove to be embarrassing to us. Those al'e precisely the places where we must bring God. To do this is difficult -but we are pledged to try to achieve it.

The bell tower for the Shrine in Washington will be 316 feet in height. Outside of the Wash­ ington Monument, no tower in the nation's capital, or sur­ rounding territory, and probab­ ly the United States, Is loftier.

Holy Week CONTINUED FROM PAGE ONE the exclusive work of the priest, with the people acting as obedi­ ent, but passive, spectators. SUch a notion has lost sight of the very purpose of tl),ese acts 0\ worship. Correctly viewed, these acts make up the publlc prayer offered to GOd by all the faith­ ful, not as solitary individuals, but as united members of Christ's society. The active role of the people is 'lltressed throughout the new Holy Week ceremonies. Whenever 1I0me sacred action is to be car­ J·ied out, the new Missal directs that it be performed "where it ean be seen by the people:" Where formerly only the servers answered the prayers of the priest. now all the faithful are directed to make these resPonses. The people should take part in the processions of Palm Sunday and the Easter Vlgll, and all pub­ lJcly renew their baptismal prom­ ises on Holy Saturday. These are only a few Indlcatlons of the Holy Father's desire to Impress on Catholics everywhere that they have a very real share In the Ilrayers o~ the Church. All this external participation, lIowever, will be useless without Interior devotion. Prayerful con­ Illderation of the mysteries of the Passion and Resurrection, careful Iltudy of the Holy Week Missal. and most important, a sincere confession, will prepare us for this hollest of weeks, From Palm Sunday on, we should participate In the ceremonies In the fullest way-by receiving Our Lord in Holy Communion each day. We must, in short. put aside our worldly concerns, and make Holy Week the climax of our year's de­ votion. 0l1servance Begins Sunday The Holy Week observance be­ gins with Palm Sunday, which lias been given the additional name of "Second Sunday of the Passion," to center our attention on Christ's sufferings. The cere­ mony opens with a prayer In which the priest blesses the palms. The palms are then dis­ tributed to the people, if this has not been done beforehand. The Gospel describing Our Lord's triumphant entry into Jerusalem follows, and next, the jo~'ful pro­ cession begins. This procession is a re-enact­ ment of the first Palm Sunday; when the people of Jerusalem rushed out to welcome Christ. waving palm branches and crying "Hosanna to the Son of David!" Now, centuries later, the Church Ileeks to recapture that spirit of loyalty and homage to Christ the Bavior. Hence, all the people are called on to march in procession through the church, and if this Is impossible they should at least Join in the praise of Christ, manifested by the procession. After the procession. the priest mugs a concluding prayer, and then a striking change takes place. The priest removes the Joyful reci vestments and puts on the somber violet ones, to begin the Mass In commemoration of Our Lord's passion. Pledge of LO~'alty The most notable feature of this Mass is the solemn chanting Or reading of the Gospel account of the passion. During this read­ ing, we should follow in our Mis­ .sals, keeping In mind that Christ's passion was a triumph over sin through pain and suf­ fering. Palm Sunday has long been the "forgotten ceremony" of Holy Week, With the new emphasis on the meaning of this day, as many people as possible should try to' be present at the principal Mass when the procession is to be held. And the palms blessed for this procession should be kept In Catholic homes as reminders of our pledge of 10yaJt.y to Christ our King. On Monday. Tuesday. and Wednesday of Holy Week, by dally nttend:mce at Mass and re­ eeption 01 Holy Communion, and

It said that, at one of these re­ cent conferences with foreign visitors, it was teJltatively agreed· that this would be done. It would be denied officially, the letter said, but the fact is that the United States is going to recog­ nize Communist China and not veto Its entrance into the United Nations. "I called up keymen and said, 'Has tgere been a change?' "They said, 'No; we saw the story, too. There is not a word of truth in it.' ' "Now, the newspaper reporters didn't think that up.
