Morality And
Politics

In politics, the principle that
anything goes" simply because
people are thought not to expect
any high degree of honor in poll
ticians is grossly wrong. We have
to recover that sense of personal
obligation on the part of the voter
and that sense of public trust on
the part of the elected official
which give meaning and dignity to
political life. Those who are Sc
lected for office by their fellow
men are entrusted with grave re-
sponsibilities. They have been Sc
lected not for self-enrichment but
for conscientious public service. In
their speech and in their actions
they are bound by the same laws
of justice and charity which bind
private individuals in every other
sphere of human activity. Dishon-
esty, SANDER, detraction, and defa-
nation of character are as truly
transgresSionS of Gods command
mentS when resorted to by men in
political life as they are for all
other men.
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1951-11-23
Morality And
Education

Morality, concerned with bring
ing human activity into conformity
with Gods will, has, therefore, a
bearing on everything that touches
human rights and duties. 1t has a
definite place in the educational
life of a nation. The forming of
character is part of the educational
process; and character cannot be
formed unless children are given a
clear indication of what is right
and what is wrong. This canont be
done without reference to the ulti-
mate standard which determines
right and wrong. namely Gods
law.
No state, no group of educators
may reject a truth of the moral
order to suit the claim of conven-
ience. The process of determining
moral values by the consent of the
majority is false in principle and
sanction. Morality has its source in
God and it binds all men. 1t can
not be adequately taught without
the motivation of religious truth.
Although the training of children
along moral lines is primarily the
business of the parents and the
Church, yet it is also the business
of the school if education is to
give formation to the whole human
nerSona1ity.
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1951-11-23

Mastery over self Is the primary
concern of morality. The right or
dering of our lives in relationship
to all other beings so that we may
attain our true destiny is the prop
er function of morality. The funda-
mental problem which faces us,
then, is a moral one.
Morality involves the correct and
careful regulation of three rela-
tionships: man to God, man to
himself, and man to his fellow
men. These relationships are so
closely linked together that to dis
turb one is to disturb the whole
moral order.
Morality, therefore, viewed in its
entirety, has three dimensions.
height, depth, and breadth. In its
height, IL scars up TO God the Su.
preme Being, from whom it takes
the definitive measure of what is
true and good, In its depth, it pen.
etrates the heart of man, laying
hold of his entire personality 50
that even his innermost thoughts
and motives are subject to its rule
In its breadth, it embraces men in
every station and condition of life
and establishes mutual rights and
duties.

Moral Integrity

Doing Gods work means doing
Gods will. This requires the serv-
ices of the whole man at every mo-
ment of every day he exists. There
is all too frequent today the spec
tacle of men who divide their lives
to suit their own convenience. Only
when it serves their selfish pur-
pose do they conform to Gods will.
Their business life, their profes-
sional life, their life in the home,
at school and in the community
occupy separate compartments uni
fled by no central force. Gods
claims upon such men exist, but
they are not honored. Expressions
such as my life is my own affair"
or "in politics, anything goes" are
all too common today. They betray
gross misunderstanding of the
moral order and the inter-linking
relationships which find their cor
rect measure only in Gods will.
We must be clear on this point.
Man must either acknowledge that
a personal God exists or he must
deny His existence altogether.
There is no middle course. Once
he acknowledges that God exists,
then the claims of God are CO.
extensive with all the activities OF
His creatures. To pretend that any
part of life can be private affair
is to violate the most basic claim
which God has on man. Man is
creature. AS a creature, he is sub
! iect to his Creator in all that ht
does. There is no time in his life
when he is excused from obeyini
the moral law. The clergyman, the
educator, the doctor, the lawyer
the politician, the employer, the
employee, husbands, wives ant
children are alike strictly bound
All human rights and obligation
have their source in Gods law
otherwise they are meaningless.

ably expressed by the Father of

dress:

prosperity, Religion and Morali-

that double standard which not on
ly tempts man to live his life on
two levels, but beguiles him into
thinking that this can be done
without any compromise of moral
principles. This two-faced way of
living explains the scandalous
anomaly, evident at times in our
national life, of paying lip service
to God while failing completely to
honor His claims in daily life.
One and the same standard
covers stealing from the cash regis
ter and dishonest gain derived
from public office. It will not do
tc say, by way of extenuation, that
the latter can be excused or con-
doned because it occurs in the po-
liticaI order. One and the same
standard prohibits false statements
about private individuals, and false
statements about members of nj
nority groups and races. 1t will not
do, by way of excuse, to say that
statements of the latter kind can
be excused because of long-stand-
ing prejudice.
This single standard of morality
sets clear, positive, and complete
pattern of right living. 1t gives an
integrity of outlook and integrity
of action to daily life. BY adher-
ing to this standard, mans life be-
comes all of a piece, characterized
by a sincere singleness of pur-
pose. Such a life will not have its

Does not all this have a modern
ring? Has not a great part of our
society been doing and saying
the same thing? With the threat of
the barbarian on the outside, does
our conduct reflect the sobriety of
citizens who are conscious that q
bell may be tolling for them and
for civilization?

Morality And
Economies

Morality has its place in business
and industry because the condi-
tions under which men work, the
wages they get, the kind of work
they do, all ere subject to the jur-
isdiction of the moral law. When
economic conditions are such that
the raising of family by working
people is made dishearteningly diff
ficult and at times impossible
then, those responsible for this de-
plorable situation are guilty OF
breaking Gods law and they are
also accomplices in the sins result
ing from their injustice.

prideful folly on his part brings
discord into his own life, and pro.
foundly affects the whole moral or

fillment becomes his characteristic
mark because he does not possess

Gods will, therefore, is the
measure of man. II is the standard
by which all human actions must
meet the test of their rightness on
wrongness. What conforms ia
Gods will is right; and what goes
counter to His will is wrong This
is the great and controlling rule OF
the moral order. Unless man rec
ognizes and lives by this rule, he
cannot come to that abundance OF
life destined for him by God.
II man is TO reach this abund
ance of life, which depends on the
fullness of moral character, ii must
be through the way he lives his
everyday life. He has no other
course. II is idle and dangerous for
him to dream otherwise. The

growth in character. He must use
all his powers to cultivate thai

Natural LdtC
And Revelation

These religious and moral truths
of the natural order can be known
by human reason; but God, in His
goodness, through Divine Revela-
ton has helped man to know bet
ter and to preserve the natural
law. In the Old Testament this rev.
elation was given to Gods chosen
people. Completed and perfected
in the New, it has been communi-
Gated to mankind by Jesus Christ
and His Apostles and ii has been
entrusted to the Church which
Christ Himself established to teach
all men.
While the natural law, taught
and interpreted by the Church,
gives us guide in many areas of
human life, the perfection of hu-
man nature is revealed to us in
Chriet Himself. God-become-Man,
the Word-made-Flesh, "full of grace
and truth, dwelling among us to
be our Way, our Truth and our
Life. Prayer and the Sacraments
are the channels through which the
grace of Christ comes to elevate
human nature until il becomes like
unto Him, who is true God and
true man. In the supernatural or
der of grace Christ, the God-pan,
is the measure of man.
Divine revelation then not only
includes the natural law, ii compile
ments il, and points the way to the
supernatural order of grace. The
natural moral law, however, re-
mains the foundation of the super
natural order, as il is the founda-
ton of all mans relations to God,
to himself and to his fellow men.
Upon that Jaw, clarified by divine
revelation, man strengthened by
grace, must build his life. He need
never fear that IL will give way un-
der the weight of the trials and
tests which life imposes; for he
has the inspired words of the
Psalmist to assure him: "The man
whose heart is set on the law of
the Lord stands firm"
When the human heart issgovern-
ed by the law of the Lord, all hui
man actions, no matter how COM
monplace or how removed from the
eyes of men, are made pleasing to
God and meritoriouS of eternal life.
This means that Gods will and
Gods plan for man are kept con-
stantIy in mind. When man has
learned to direct his thoughts, his
speech and his actions in this way,
it is a sign that he has mastered
he great maxim of the moral or
der-"not my will but Thine be
done" 1t is an indication that he
realizes he must at all times be
i about his Fathers business. The
point of reference in his life is nc
/ longer his own selfish will, for such
man sees clearly that God hold.
the central place in his life. He
also sees that he enjoys a unique
status in that God has committed
TO him work which no one else
can do. His only reason for exist
ence is to perform that work faith
fully and diligently. This is tht
thought which Cardinal Newman
so beautifully expressed:

Him some definite service. He

or in the field of entertainment.

God has endowed man with intel
ligence. When rightly used and di-
rected, the human intellect can
discover certain fundamental spir-
itual truths and moral principles
which will give order and harmony
to mans intellectual and moral
life.
What are these truths which
right reason can discover? First in
Importance is the existence of a
personal God, all knowing and all
powerful, the eternal Source from
Whom all things derive their be-
ing. Next comes the spiritual and
immortal nature of mans soul, its
freedom, its responsibility, and the
duty of rendering to. God rever-
ence, obedience, and all that is
embraced under the name of re-
ligion.
From mans position as Gods ra-
tional, free and responsible crea-
ture, destined for eternal life,
spring the unique dignity of the
human individual and his essential
equality with his fellow men.
Out of the inherent demands of
human nature arises the family as
the fundamental unit of human
society, based on a permanent and
exclusive union of man and woman
in marriage. From the essential
character of marriage come not on
ly the right of parents to beget
children, but also their primary
right and duty to rear and educate
them properly.
Since neither the individual nor
the family is completely independ-
ent and self-Sustained, there arises
the necessity of organized civil So
ciety, and, in turn, the mutual re-
sponsiblities of the individual and
family on the one side and of the
civil government on the other.
Mans social life becomes intol
cradle if not impossible unless jus.
tice and benevolence govern the
operations of the state and rela
tionships between individuals and
groups. Without temperance, man
can neither live in accordance with
his human dignity nor fulfill his
obligations to his fellow men. With
out fortitude, he cannot bear the
trials of life or overcome the diff
culties with which he is surround.
ed.
Furthermore, it is clear that the
inherent dignity of the individual
and the needs of the family and of
society demand a code of sexual
morality within the grasp of every
mature mind.
These are some of the basic ele-
ments of natural law, law based
on human nature; law which can
be discovered by human intelli-
gence and which governs mans re-
lationships with God, with himself,
and with the other creatures of
God. The principles of the natural
law, absolute, stable, and un-
changeable, are applicable to all
the changing conditions and cir
cumstances in which man constant
ly finds himself.
