o: What is religions reply ts the charge that 1t is "the 0piate of the people?"
 A. Far fro-l being an opiate, religion as set forth by the Hebrew prophets and by Jesus Christ is fermenting yeast of discontent with things as they are and constant stimulus to social change. A better metaphor than "an opi- ate" for religion would be 'dyna- mite" Some one has said that the teaching of Jesus, if applied today, would blow the present so- cial and economic order to atoms. Certainly 1t is true that religious ideals are in constant conflict with the economic injustices and racial and social discriminations which characterize society today and still, as they have in the past, are the basis of charity, philan- thropy and tine establishment of justice and brotherhood among men.
 c: Is it true Jews believe that they are the chosen people. that Judaism Is the only true revela- ten?
 A: Observant Jews naturally lieve that Judaism is the true way of life. but nothing in Judaism denies the right of others to think differently. The fourteenth cen- tury Jewish philosopher, Joseph Albo. after stating that from the viewpoint of God, the giver of the Law, only one religion is pos- sible. declares that from the point of view of tue recipients 0f the

 The differences between one rel ligion and the other, he point out. will consist not in their vits! essence which is the same for al men, but rather in the secondarI elements which grow out of tn local and temporal variations q the characters of the groups. "Ac| cordingly," he concludes, two rel vealed religions may exist simu1| taneously among two differen| proples, each leading its adherenq to human perfection or salvatior| though in different ways, corre| spending to the character of eacI religion"
 Q: Are Catholics ever permitted to eat meat on Friday?
 A: The Catholic law of abstain ing from meat on Fridays Il honor of Christ's crucifixion o| that day is mentioned by the eaEI Hest Christian writers. Since thi law was made by the church, th| church can dispense with 1t upoI certain occasions. When Christ mas day comes on Friday, th' church has permitted Catholif| to eat meat. spanish Catholid have been permitted to eat med on Fridays since the sixteenl| century.
