VATICAN CITY Radio, NC)-In
the personal view of prominent
Roman preIate, psychoanalytical
treatment according to the methods
developed by Sigmund Freud
comes close to being gravely sim
full, for the doctor as well as for
the patient.
This opinion was stated by Msgr.
Pericle Felici, a judge of the Sa-
cred Roman Rota and an official of
the Sacred Congregation of the Sac
raments. He expressed it in an
article in the monthly bulletin for
the priests of the Diocese of Rome.
Catholic moralists and medical
authorities in this country have
often warned against the dangers
and abuses inherent in many forms
of psychoanalytical treatment, de-
claring that its use demands ex-
treme caution, and emphasizing
that it must be practiced only by
skilled practitioners of unimpeach-
able moral character. The Church
does not condemn psyehoanalysis
as such.)
Msgr. Felici declared that cit is
difficult to excuse from mortal sin

gers involved in certain features of

In his opening address Bishop
O'Hara blasted secularism in
American education with this state
ment:
"The United States is the only
important country in the world,
outside the Soviet block, which rig
orously prohibits the teaching of
religion in schools supported by
public taxation. l think this is the
least creditable feature of our Gov
ernment. We toss billions around
for every conceivable project, but
refuse to hear the call of Jesus
Christ Who asks that the little chill
dren be permitted to come to

treatment and him who places
himself under it." He pointed out
that the word difficult" rather
than impossible" in this judgment
allows for the possibility of good
faith on the part of the patient as
well as of the doctor.
Msgr. Felici also made it clear
that his criticisms apply entirely
to certain methods of psychoanalyt-
ical treatment practiced by the
adherents of the so-called Freudian
school. He referred particularly to
its so-called experimental associ-
alton" method, under which the
doctor suggests certain things to
the patient.
From the moral point of view, he
explained, this method "easily be-

National Mission Organ Lauds
Generosity OF Local Diocese

The Columbus Diocese, parts of
which are no more Catholic than
India or China, is generously mis-
sion-minded, a survey made by the
editor of The Shield, national mis-
sion magazine, showed this week.
Bishop Ready, the article points
out, ''in spite of the needs of his
own diocese, encourages preaching
in the churches by missionaries
who represent the foreign missions
and other missionary sections of
the U.S."
The magazine, published by the
Catholic Students Mission Crusade,
also comments that ''the volunteer
ing of four Catholic young people
(from the Columbus Diocese) for
foreign mission work during the
past year is regarded as sign
that the world view of the apostle
late is being developed, and 1t is
hoped that these generous dedica
tions will bring blessings upon the
apostolate in the home diocese"
The Shield cites figures on the
Catholic population of the diocese
provided by the Rev. James w.
Kulp, Diocesan Director of the So.
ciety for the Propagation of the
Faith.
The figures show that "14 of the
% counties composing the diocese
are less than five percent Catholic,
and Morrow county is only four
tenths of one percent"
Only nine percent of the people
in the entire diocese are Catholic,
and among the parishes 20 are
counted as missions" the article
points-out.
Part of a survey of the State OF
Ohio as a home mission field, the
article on the Columbus Diocese
cites the vigorous program OF
home mission activity within the
diocese"
"Canvassing of rural areas by the
Our Lady of Victory Missionary
Sisters" The Shield continues,
"has proved very fruitful in Fay
ette County. Their work has been
supported by st. Colman's parish
in the town of Washington Court
House dhe county seat.
"The Sisters conduct religious
instruction classes, visit the sick
and needy, and talk religion to all
who are willing to listen.'

Missioners have been brought in

cent years; their special inquiry

port Catholic-as well as non-Cath-
olic-children to Catholic schools.

Parochial System Threatens u. S. Democratic Unity
Harvard President Conant And Others Charge

BOSTON-NC) - Slashing at
tacks upon church schools as divi.
sive and threat to Americanism
by speakers at the American Asso-
citation of School Administrators
convention here eliminated in the
usual demand that the Federal Gov
ernment help public education but
cold-shoulder private.
Bell-wethered by President James
B. Conant of Harvard University,
who although representing a pri-
vately-endowed institution express
ed fear lest dual system of sec
ondary education may in some
States "come to threaten the dem
ocratic unity provided by our pub
lie schools" the public education
spokesmen came close to hysteria
with such statements as these:
l. DR.. Edgar Fuller, executive
secretary of the National Council
of Chief School Officers, said Sc
gregation" in non-pubIic schools
based on fundamental beliefs" is
more damaging to the democratic
tradition than the racial segrega-
ton found in II States.
2. DR.. Worth Mcclure, executive
secretary of the school administra-
tors association, declared that "de-
nominational schools build prejud-
ices, they build little iron curtains
around the thinking of the people.
These schools can destroy the un-
ity now found in our democracy.
3. DR.. Robert R. Sears, director
of the Laboratory of Human Devel-
opment, Harvard Graduate School
of Education, said criticism of
teaching of the three RS constitutes
a cloak for vicious and subversive
organizations" to attack public edu-
cation. 'It has become increasingly
clear during the last two years
that many of the most vicious and
unwarranted attacks on schools
have been started by paid hireling'
or organizations whose motives are
suspect" he asserted.

tors when they gather in Kansas
City, April 1913, for the annual
NCEA convention.
Veteran observers at the Ameri-
can Association Of School Admin.
istrators convention expressed sur.
prise that the issue of public YER
sus private schools, usually limit
ed to disgruntled remarks in hotel
room gatherings, had seethed into
the open. Hitherto the organiza.
ton, consisting mainly of public
school superintendent, confined
itself principally to asking the Gov.
ernment to count the private
schools out in any Federal aid
plans.
This year the convention went
on record that denominational
schools should be financed entire
ly by their supporters, and there
fore should not receive direct or
indirect public funds. At the same
time the delegates blandly said
they reaffirmed "our belief in q
program of public education pro
viding opportunities for ALL" and
asked the Federal Government to
channel funds to public education
through the States.

Hits Yugoslav
Restrictions

WASHINGTON, D. C. - NC) -
An appeal to the United States
Government to use its influence
toward ending anti-religiouS re-
strictions which still prevail in
communist Yugoslavia is contained
in a report published here by a
special subcommittee of the House
Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Insofar as the United States has
apparently growing influence up
on the actions of the Yugoslav re-
gime," the report said, 1--WE hope
that the influence of our nation
will, at the appropriate time, be
utilized in the direction of further
encouraging the recognition by the
Yugoslav government of the fun
damental principles of human free
dom, including, of course, freedom
of religion"
Known as the Special Study Mis-
sion to Germany and Certain 9th
er Countries, the subcommittee is
headed by Representative Clement
J. Zablocki of Wisconsin. Other
members are Representatives Edna
F. Kelly of New York and Chester
E. Merrow of New Hampshire.
Their report, which deals with Aus
tria, Yugoslavia, Italy and Spain,
studies the effect of the postwar
foreign aid programs carried out
by the United States and seeks ito
estimate the degree of success the
United States aid would have upon
the objectives of the free world
and the security of the United
States"

In three later decisions, he con-
tinued, the members of the court,
with the exception of Justice Jack
son, completely reversed their
stand. In cases involving Niemotko
and Kelley versus the state of

ious ministers have a right under

ments to preach religion in a tax
supported public park without per-
mission from the city, said Mr..
Taylor.
In the third case, Kunz against
New York, the court ruled that a
religious minister not only could
preach on unsupported property

he could use insulting" and flight

anti-Christ," and "the Jews are

'It will, therefore, be necessary

fiers of marxism as well as against
medieval obscurantism, which is

''It will also be necessary to un-

out, similar thoughts. Typical is
the following extract from the

KANSAS CITY, Mo. - NC) -
Forging closer ties between home
and school should be a leading
goal of Catholic education today,
5000 educators were told here at
the National Catholic Educational

In an address formally opening
the four-day sessions centered
around Catholic Education and the
American Community, Bishop Ed

telligence and good will of which
our Christian families are the
treasury"
II know thousands of Catholic
homes in which parents are full
filling the obligations of Christian
wedlock in manner never excell-
ed, if indeed ever equalled by so
large a body of homes, in any
period of history" he said.
''Let not our schools be afraid
to associate intimately with them
selves the fathers and mothers (for
fathers are parents also) of such
families in the mutual work of
educating their children" the
Bishop continued. Invaluable as
sistance in effecting this coopera-

Highest Court
Inconsistent
Attorney Says

The US. Supreme Court in its
decisions on religious teaching is
accused of being inconsistent,
amending and sovietizing the Con-
stitution and misstating history, in
the current Journal of the Ameri-
can Bar Association.
The article, written by 7. Raber
Taylor, a Denver attorney, was car
ried in part last week by the Cleve-
land UniUerSe Bulletin.
Mr.. Taylor singled out the ruling
in the case of Mrs. Vashti McCol-
lum, in which the court outlawed
''released-time," an arrangement
under which public school pupils
attend instruction classes in their
own faiths. He charged that the
Supreme Court misunderstood
American history, misconstrued the
First Amendment to the Constitu-
ton, and, in effect, amended the
Constitution without the vote of
the people.
Moreover, wrote Mr.. Taylor, the
McCollum decision unconstitution-
ally deprived American parents and
children of the religious freedom
guaranteed to them in the First
Amendment.
