CARNIvAHs--CARNI VALE
During this pre.Lenten period the
Church makes great effort to pre-
pare and dispose her children for q
fruitful fast and q willingness to
do the penance necessary during the
Lenten season II the true spirit Of
the season and its great graccs are
to come TO all souls. But while all
desire the end, all are not willing
to take the means.
The three days before Lent are
spent In many places In . spirit far
from that conducive to prepare the
soul for penance and often they ex-
coed the bounds Of propriety and
morality. Carnival time It Is called
from the Latin "Carni" (meatl and
"vale" (farewell), and It recalls the
earlier practice when meat would
not be eaten again until Easter. But
this time Of valedictory to meat has
brought many sorrows to the
Church and the SOLDERING cere.
monies Of Ash Wednesday have be-
come very necessary.
POSTSCRIPT ON
CARDINAL TNNITZER
When on March II, 1888, the Ger
man troops, tanks and heavy ar.
tillery marched into Austria, the
Cardinal Archbishop Of Vienna was
much maligned as he sought q
working agreement with the Ger.
mans who had occupied his country.
AS German propaganda carried
news Of his activities the world saw
him as somewhat OF o tool Of the
Na3ls. However, missing parts Of the
picture are supplied this week by
the London Catholic Heyald's report
Of an interview with an exiled Aus.
trian statesman.
'"The Cardinal was never the
seller Of his country and the SYM
pathizer with Hitler that the
screaming forces Of alleged truth
made him out to be. He knew only
too well the unhappy state that his
country had been reduced to. He Is
an Austrian and aS such the Ger.
man Is 0 foreigner 70 him. At
worst the Cardinal Archbishop Of
Vienna was merely temporiHing with
thu Naxis. But It never came to
this worst-the proof lying In the
treatment meted out TO him not
long after the Anschluss.
NO COMPROMISE
"Many papers here carried the
story Of the raiding Of the Arch
bishop's home And how fnnitzer's
secretary was thrown bodily from
window high In the house. You may
recall how the unfortunate man

"In the ambulance going to the
hospital members Of the Gestapo

and held out o statement for him
to sign. That statement was wit.

have placed the Cardinal completely
In the hands Of the Nazis. Refus-
ing to sign. the secretary was eft
