What are Greeorian Masses?

"Iidl are SFeSoIidn MASSES!
The Gregorian Masses are thirty
Masses said on as many consecutive
days. In his Dialogues" St. Gregory
the Great tells that certain religious,
named JuStuS, died. One month after
wards st. Gregory ordered the supe-
Tior of the monastery to say Mass
every day for thirty days for the re-
pose of the deceased monk At the
end OF that time Justus appeared to
his brother and said that he had. lust
been freed from the pains of Purga-
tory. These Masses may be said by
any priest.
Is it proper for husband to tell his
neighbors all about his wife's short
comings?
1t is a sign of ignorance, lack of
CHARITY and want Of sense. When the
wife is Woodworking, as the question
states, it is downright cruelty. Such
conduct may be attributed to selfish
ness, heartlessness or idiocy: or to all
three.
Was John Wycliffe Catholic
priest?
He was a priest, and was appointed
canon at Lincoln, England He be-
came hereto by denying certain doc
trines of the Catholic Church Among
these was the necessity Of confess
sion, Transubstantiation, etc. He also

poral possessions. He died in 1884 of
a paralytic stroke.
May man marry the sister of his
deceased wife?
He may.
A non-Cathoic is baptized, lives a
good life according to his convictions,
but at the time of death had no min
lister and was unconscious; could he
be saved?
Most certainly; any Christian who
lives a good life, is true to his con
viCtions, repents of his sins, dies a
friend of God and is certain to be
teaching of the Catholic Church that
all those who are not united cor
porately with her are destined to hell.
We no more teach that all non-Cath-
olicS will be lost than we teach that
all Catholics will be saved. A Catho-
lie might have the Pope at his bedside
and receive all the sacraments, but if
he were not repentant he would not
be saved. Your friend belonged to
the soul of the Church, and was a
Catholic in the sense that he wanted
to do the will of God in all things,
and his salvation would be effected
by the grace of Jesus Christ which
is dispensed through Christ's Catholic
Church You should pray for the soul
of such a deceased non-C Catholic, and
you may have Masses offered for him,

If a person forgets to make the act
of contrition in confession, are his
sins forgiven?
Yes. Contrition is disposition of
the heart and soul, and need not be
expressed in words. When people
prepare themselves for confession,
that necessary disposition is usually
present in their heart; the very prep
aration generally contains formal acts
of contrition, and the Thanksgiving
after confession often supplies the
same. Hence, if one forgets to repeat
the words of the act of contrition in
the confessional, there should be no
reason FOR worrying about the for
%lVeneSS of sins The heartfelt con-
trltiol is infinitely more important
than any formal expression in words.
Are Catholics permitted to indulge
in hypotism?
Hypnotism is permissible when it
is used like an aneSthetic for surgi-
cal purposes. But we are not allowed
to let our will pass under the control
VI another, and it is sinful to use hyp-
notism for the purpose of making
people do things such as hynotized
subjects do at the mere suggestion of
the hypnotizer In some cases it has
been known that things have been
accomplished which they could not
have possibly done by natural means
they have related what has happened
on the other side of an opaque screen,
for instance. \ Catholic can readily
understand that this sort of business
cannot be tolerated. We must never
forget that wicked angels, far more
powerful than we are, are ready to
cooperate with human beings who,
either explicitly or implicitly, put
thems elves under their control
Has any Catholic government the
right to object to the election Of GER
tain Cardinal to the Papacy?
This right which was formerly con-
ferred on certain Catholic sovereigns
was called the veto power and meant
the right to put in a protest against
some Cardinal for the Papal success
sion, 1t was nothing more than
privilege conferred by the Holy See
The last time the veto power was in,
Noked was by Austria. who protested
against the selection of a certain Car
dinal to succeed Leo Kill One of
the first official acts of Pope Plus X
was to absolutely abolish the veto
power. Any Cardinal who would
present the protest OF Catholic SOW
CroiEn at a COnclave called for the
election Of a Pope would by that very
fact put himself undor ecclesiastical

Must one go to confession every

obliged to go to confession is when

Everybody Must Have Leisure.

Humanity has gotten to the
point where it recognizes the
fact that Il man is entitled to some
things more than food to sustain
his body; and enough raiment ITO
clothe it properly. 1t is a mat
ter of hours, q matter of rest and
recreation in order to keep up
the energy of the body. Every
man and woman who is a public
slave for capital is entitled torea.
sonable leisure so that he or she
may enjoy the Heaven.ordained
pleasures of family life; the as
sociation with his or her com.
rades; the wholesome recreation
and the pursuit of kaowledgeand
beauty that is obtained in music,
art, and good literature. The
time has come, when man that
is man, wants to spend a part
of his time, when not sleeping,
with his family and kiddies, and
the man that is too busy to take
time to go to church, and get q
little something that does not
l)ok like money, is not true to
his home, and his God. The old
ten and twelve hour day is too
long. Consequently capitalmust
recognize that, within reasonable
limits, the demands for shorter
hours is justified. The farmers
of the State and County have re-
llizcd that they can accomplish
more working during eight or
nine hours u day, than they did
when they worked from sunrise
until sunset. What man is there
that will and can stand up under
twelve hours hard work on the
farm, or even ten? 1t pays best

play while you play"
Last but not least, both labor
and capital must be brought to
realize that all rights rests upon
duties; and not on unjust labor,
and unfair wages. -Asheboro
