Catholic Thought And Opinion
By REV. JOSEPH F. DoNNELLY

1 difference between inspiration and infallibility. An inspired writer + protected from writing untruthf and moved to write what God wants said by him. An infallible teacher is divinely protected from error iYI defining what God has revealed The Bible is not infallible; but the Catholic Church is infallible in de- fining what the Bible and Catholic Tradition teach. How do we prove this? By the fact that Christ com- manded US to hear. the Church and promised to be with her himself and to have the Holy Spirit remain with her forever.
 FREE WILL
 "Is the freedom of the will real?" Certainly. The laws of all civilized nations are built on this fact.
 REACTIONARY CHURCH
 why are the Churches reaction ary?" The Catholic Church does not happen to be. People who make this charge do not know her. She is conservative in many ways, but she is the most revolutionary movement on earth in others.
 Should the Church interfere in political and social affairs?" The Church has at all times the right to proclaim the divine and moral law, whether to politicians, social ties Socialists or anybdy else. Every individual and organization has the duty to follow this law.
 "Why does the Church allow race and color banns?" The Catholic Church officially fights them. When individual members insist on them, they act in defiance of her.
 MORAL LAW
 why does the Church condemn birth control?" Because the Bible condemns it (read the story of Oman in Genesis). Because it is a frustra- tion of the natural purpose of the marital act, the propagation of chil- dren.
 "Why does the Church condemn divorce?" Because Christ did so. He made Christian marriage symbol of His own union with the Church
 What are the Churches doing for post war reconstruction?" Through the pulpit, the press, and in every possible way, the Church is pointing out practical plans. But the Church is always hampered in her work by the host of unbelievers who are willing to try anything from poison to charlatanism rather than the love and justice that would quickly solve all major econ- omic problems. Inpute modern so- cial evils to their real sources: |. Selfshness. 2. Lack of morality. Do you know any cure except religion? We do not.

Former Waterburian, Col. F. LaFOrge, Recipient of
 Testimonial Letter

The Connecticut Society of Civil Engineers, Inc, celebrated its 60th anniversary recently by 8 special recognition of the only two living Charter Members of the Society," Past Pres. William B. Palmer of Stratford. and Past Vice Pres, Col Frederick W. La Forge of New Lon- don. formerly of Waterbury.
 At the suggestion of Secy Treas. H.

Pres. Clarence N. Wiley, Past Pres. Robert s. Rose, and Secy. Treas. H. Jackson Tppet. Leslie G. Sum- ner of Hartford is the present pres- ident.
 Paying tribute to the founder members, who through their en- -ergy and foresight brought into be- ing the Connecticut Civil Engi- neers' and Surveyors Association" the letter is signed for the entire membership by L. G. Sumner, c. N. Wiley, Fly Wolcott Buck, Robert S. Rose, F. B. Chamberlin, A. A. Cross, w. G. Brenneke, F. Walden Wright, Leon E. Futile, J. H. F. Clark, Frederick J. Trowbridge, Board of Direction.

Rev. J. DOnnelly tainly, A man who believes that his country is jus tifled in war performs an act ot great virtue in defending the flag. There have been great canonized saints who were soldiers.
 How can you reconcile war with the Gospel of love?" In the same way as a parent justifies punish ment of a beloved child who needs correction.
 Should we not give up religion during the war?" He who does so Is in danger of two things-a fall into barbarian and savagery, and the eternal loss of his soul.
 why does God allow war and in- nocent suffering?" Mankind is a fallen race stained by original and actual sin. War and other suffering are a punishment of sin. All suffer- ing can be turned to good account by offering 1t up to God and by pa- tiently accepting 1t.
 Life here is extremely short; eternity is ending for every one of us. Our present suffering will seem trifling compared with our reward in eternity if we live and die right. TO THE POINT
 "Is there a heaven? A hell2" Christ said SO. Being God as well as man He ought to know
 Do we rise from the dead?" Yes, Christ plainly taught this. "How?" By miracle that will bring our souls and our bodies together again. (Their separation causes our physi- cal death)
 When is the end of the world?" Christ taught that nobody knows but God
 Why did not the Churches make an effort to stop this war?" Pope Plus XII. repeatedly. Plus x tried to stop the last war and died of a broken heart when he did not suc- seed. Benedict XIV, his successor, laid down the principles which would have made this war impos- siblO If the nations had accepted them. Put the blame where it be- longs, not on the Catholic Church. Protestant leaders also tried to prevent this war.

Women Report Profit
 In Waste Paper Drive
Other Groups Urged to Emulate Bunker Hill Chapter: City Falling Below Quota; More Cooperation Here

With the announcement that the War Labor Board has ordered dras- tic cuts in the civilian use of paper, David F. Bahson, chairman of the local paper salvage committee at yesterdays meeting pointed out that althugoh paper collections in Waterbury are increasing the results are still far short of the required quota for the city.
 Kenneth Robinson, member of the committee, urged that collections similar to that conducted last Sat- urday in the Bunker Hill section be instituted all over the city. Repre- sentativeS of the Women's chapter of the Bunker Hill Congregational church stated that despite the fact that they had to hire truck for the job the society still showed a $50 profit from the collection.
 MT. Babson then suggested that other similar community clubs and societies contact him to draw up plans for similar campaigns in other parts of the city.
 Figures released this morning relative to paper collections in city schools during last week, including both parochial and public schools as are follows: Monday schools St. Ann's, Mulcany, Merriman, St. Francis, Maloney, Hopeville, total collection of 15,190 pounds as com pared with previous weeks collec- ton of 8,608; Tuesday-Tinker, Duggan, Begral, Barnard, St. Jo- Seph's.
