Family Life Meeting Anspers
POpe's Call For Realudkening'
Bishop Bartholome Makes Inspiring Plea For Renewal
OF Spirit OF Christ In Everyday Living

one force that can avert the dis
aster: the renewal of the Christian
life in the clergy, in the people, in
those in authority, in families and
in individuals. This is no time, the
Pope says, to look for new princi-
pies. Only one thing is needed-to
put on the Lord Jesus Christ"
"If We can renew the spirit of
Christ in the Christian family" "
Bishop Bartholome declared, 'the
individual, the Church, and the
State will be rejuvenated with the
new life in Christ"
But he warned that "all of the
help and aid on the part of Christ
and the Church will not be suffi-
eient unless the parents try to CO.
operate and make of their home
church in miniature"
THE Church prays," he said,
$50 must the home pray. The
Church teaches, so must the par
ents teach. The Church blesses, so
must the parents bless.
"The Church looks upon the
child as a creature of God, re-
deemed by Christ, destined for an
eternal home. This must be the
outlook and spirit of the home.

give external expression of her

Congressman Mccarthy Warns OF Necessity
To Sanctify Society AS Well AS Ourselves

the corporation, nothing against
the corporation.
"As the Christian has a double
responsibility" he continued, zone
to self-perfection and another to
the perfection of society, SO, too,
/ believe that those of us who are
particularly interested in the per-
fection of the family must accept
also that we have a double respon-
sibility. One, of course, to perfect
the family, and the second, to labor
also to perfect and improve the to-
tai social order of which the FAM
lily is the basic unit"
The Congressman took issue
with the trend of opinion that "the
movement of society is toward So
cialization"
"This opinion can be accepted
only if we distort the traditional
meaning of socialization," he said.
Actually the modern trend is, in
a sense, anti-social, for in its
progress it has destroyed the essen
tial community and social organi-
cations which once were a funda-
mental and vital part of the social
structure.
1.-The old community guilds, the
professional societies, the political
units of the city, the province, or
the state have been succeeded by
a more comprehensive, less per-
sonal, and in sense, less social
system of community control.
''The result has been fragmen-
tation of society, isolating indiyidu-
ais and placing terrific strain up
on the natural society, such as the
family"

De substantially worthless.
Mr.. Blanshard's central thesis,
Mr.. O'Neill asserts, is that Amer
lean Catholics, because of the de-
mands of their Faith, must be op-
posed to the traditional American
system of government with its con
Stitutional guarantee of religious
freedom. In his attempt to prove
this, it is charged, he misrepresents
both the American system and the
Catholic attitude towards it.
Dangerous Thinking
Mr.. O'Neill says Mr.. Blanshard
has an anti-Catholic bias that
springs from a dangerous philoso-
ply which would lead directly to
totalitarianism were it ever gener-
ally adopted. 1t is secularist,
anti-religious philosophy whic C h
holds that moral standards ought
to be determined by popular vote
Mr.. Blanshard, he writes, reveals
clearly his philosophy of the omni
potent state as it would operate in
a democracy. Once the political
majority has spoken and has pass
ed a law, over the opposition OF
the Catholics, or the Protestants
or the Jews, or any other group
submission to law must be taught

and observed. This is the essence
of totaiitarianiSm."
Mr.. Blanshard's contentious, it is
said, have "most of the worst faults
of argument known to the students
of rhetoric from Aristotle down to
the latest high school text. Particu-
larly evident were the inaccurate
use of words, unsupported asser-
tions, inaccurate interpretations,
the apparent absence of informa-
ton, the offering of inept remarks
of individual Catholics as official
Catholic doctrine and the repeti-
ton of charges that have been an
swered again and again =.

"Anyone, of any religion or
none, with some knowledge of the
Church's doctrines, and of the his

Catholics, should have known that
the books central thesis is false;
and anyone with elementary
knowledge of the principles of ar
gument and proof should have
known that Mr.. Blanshard does not
prove his case"

The Christian in the world has
serious responsibilities beyond the

]. Mccarthy, us. Congressman
from st. Paul, told the first general
session of the National Catholic
Family Life convention in Column
bus Monday night.
'It is not sufficient merely TO

fy our individual lives" declared
the youthful Iawmaker and father
of three children. Neither is it
sufficient to humanize and sanctify
the institution of the family.
Larger Task

sential to Christianize social insti-
tutions, such as the neighborhood,
the class to which one belongs, the
business and professional commun-
ity, leisure-time activities, culture,
means of communication. and po-
litical institutions.
Admitting that "it is true the so
cial order exists for the persons
who make it up," Representative
Mccarthy pointed out that "it is
nonetheless correct to say that so

quires salvation. Neither the sal

Prices and Costs Unrelated.
In addition, prices under state
capitalism bear no relation to
costs-both are merely items OF
government bookkeeping which
render the celebrated annual
price reductions meaningless. The
Russian scale Of values is quite
different from ours.
It is as difficult and misleading
to compare Russian prices with
those of the West as it is to COM
pare modern English prices with
those of the middle ages. One
can only compare the general
standards of living-and the COM
parison runs undeniably against
Russia.
Even this is deceptive. Be-
cause the Russian standard of life
is lower than ours. one must not
infer that the russians are dis

economically weaker country. !
saw no discomfort. It is averted
by constant. reminders of the
dreadful conditions in the West.
The low Russian standard of
living is, at any rate. partly due
to their fanatical pursuit of capi-
tai investment. Any country can
support both a huge army and a
huge program of new factories,
roads, railways and buildings at
the same time, If it is prepared
to control its people and to anchor
their standard Of life as Russia
does. The poor shops Of Moscow
are misleading: when they are
better the West will be safer.

MILLION DOLLAR BUDGET

THERE ARE MANY in this island who never thought
they would live to see a million-dollar budget for this muni-
cpality, but this has become a reality, and before many more
years the budget may be up to two millions.
THE SIZE OF the ST. Croix budget brings out in sharp
focus two important points. First, there must be serious
thought Of meeting this budget and the need to develop to
the fullest possible extent the income Of this place. AS it now
stands, the budget is $I,lO8,182, with estimated revenues at
$642,532, and a deficit contribution of $465,800 from Con
gress. St. Croix is providing approximately So per cent Of
its own budget.
THE SECOND POINT that needs to be looked at is that
world conditions are such that a smaller budget may never
return. The days when an individual or a family could exist
everything, and wages OF incomes just keeping pace with
prices. The need therefore is for US to think interms of what
the situation really is and be prepared to shoulder the burden
which our economy calls for. In Great Britain, in order for
a man to net $4,000 or $4,000 his gross will have to be well
over one million dollars.
NO DISCUSSIONS of things fiscal seems to be complete
without being reminded that the Internal Revenue taxes
which are presently being withheld would solve our problems
considerably. With these funds there Wouldnot be the need
to go to Congress each and every year for deficiency
appropriations.
THE IA OF the milIon-dollar budgets is here, and
there is nothing we can do about it except grid our loins
tighten the belt a little, and find every possible method Of
developing our economy so that there be a corresponding
increase in income and thus tighten our burden.
