Surely, the Marshal cannot
have deceived himself into a
vague hope that, as a reward for
his political opposition to Mos
COW communism, public opinion
abroad somehow can be doc

get Archbishop Stepinac, Bishop
Guile, and hundreds of murdered
and imprisoned priests?
Surely, the Marshal cannot
have talked himself into the
absurd notion that the Holy See
would, all of a sudden, discard
the stern and inalienable prin-
ciples that for almost 1000 years
have guided its attitude to and
relations with secular powers and
follow line of expediency?
Let it be frankly admitted that
Marshal Tito has manouvered
himself into an unenviable posi-
ton: Either he radically and
honestly restores those funda-
mental freedoms which the Holy
See can never yield and thus
opens the road toward a more
favorable view of his regime
abroad, or he persists as an en-

A Bid To Heresy

or that the law will tell them
how many children they can
have. | try to explain that Plan
ned Parenthood Pives help to the
sick or delicate mother Of a
family so that she can have
strong healthy children and pro.
vide happy home life"
That letter is being widely circu.
lated among Catholics in Massa-
chusetts, with the plea that they
vote to legalize birth control
clinics-in which other Catholic
mothers will, presumably, lose
their faith, too. 1t is not only
a sinister plea, but mlslead-
ing one; the hand of the press
agent hangs heavily over por-
tlonS of 1t.
The confessional sequence has
a particularly suspicious note,
unless the Catholic Mother"
specifically asked the priest to
examine her conscience, it is not
likely that he would question
her in this respect, nor that he
would send her out into the
world without absolution unless
he also gave her a clearer ex-
planation Of the Catholic atti-
tude than she seems to have
grasped. Her objection to steril.
ization, but not TO birth con-
troll, is very curious: sterilization
is simply form of birth control,
and Catholic opposition TO it
rests on the same grounds as
opposition to the less lasting
methods proposed by the Plan
ned Parenthood clinic.
And what ARE these purpoS-
es? Why, the League would tell
you, humanitarianism and de-
mocracy: the Church has taken
a whimsical stand against
type OF medical" assistance of
which many mothers stand In
need. THE fact that the non
Catholic Maternity Center As
sociation has, on purely medical
grounds, taken the same stand
as the Church is one they never
state.)
The p Planne d Parenthood
League is simply out TO pick up
Catholic votes, and this letter
is one step in the campaign. But
the letter Is great deal more
than that, ii is an effort to win
souls away from the Church by
militant heresy. Notice the dis.
tinction drawn by Catholic
mother" between what God con-
siders sin and what the Church
considers sin the aSsump-
tion that Catholics do not have
a happy home life" if the moth
er obeys the priest :. the COM
pletely misleading suggestion
that the Planned Parenhood
League wishes TO instruct only
sick and delicate mothers"
