Is Doctrine Of Real
Presence Impossible?

@. Is not the doctrine of the
Real Presence impossible? Ho,0
can God be contained in the
small host received in Conmun-
ton2
A. Catholics accept the Real
Presence because Christ and
Church teach it. There are many
Mysteries of Christianity, accep-
ted by all Christians, which are
accepted on the authority of
God, even though they are hard
to understand. God, who crea-
ted the universe tout of nothing)
certainly can change the sub
stance of bread. Christ, whose
humanity confused many of His
day into missing the evidence of
His divinity, finds no more diff
Guilty in this later concealment.
The change of the substance of
the bread into the substance
mot requiring size or extension)
of Christ's Body is invisible, but
is no more wondrous than the
truth of the divinity of the
Baby Jesus in Bethlehem. The
great scholars of Christian times
have written much about how
this is possible, just as scient-
lists explore mysteries of the
universe e.g. atoms, electricity.
life. We accept the fact of
Christ's Real Presence on His
word, and investigate these mys-
teries humbly, not doubling but
seeking explanation.
Q. Does the Church teach that
O husband and doctor should
choose the death of the mother
rather than that of the child
,0here one must die?
A. This is an old and persist
ent misrepresentation of the
Christian moral code. A state
ment of Pope Plus XII on Christ
ian Marriage, October %, 1851,
was so misconstrued in many
publications. He repeated whst
he had said and emphasized that
Christian morality does not per-
NIT the "direct attack on the
life of an innocent person"
Sometimes these cases need not
mean the death of either, and
the medical profession is dedica-
ted to searching for means to
save both. The Holy Father ex-
planned the traditional teaching
of the Church (as in christian
Marriage" by Pope Plus KID that
there can be no direct killing"
of the child to save the mother.
He further pointed out that
Christian morality did not ex-
clude treatment or operations
to save the mother, even though
they might indirectly result in
the death of the unborn child.
He states clearly: "Never and
in no case has the Church taught
that the life of the child must
be preferred to that of the moth

4 Fact To Be Remembered

that period refused more than
80 times to answer questions on
the ground that lit might tend
to incriminate" the witness. In
the course of the same hour, the
witness did answer some ques-
tions, replied Il don't know" to
others, and professed not to re-
member in response to still 9th
ers.
The monotony of this testi-
mony was broken briefly by an
exchange on the subject of re
ligion between the witness and
a member of the committee
staff who was putting the ques-
tions: 1t ran as follows:
What is your religious af-
filiation?
well, ! am not affiliated with
the church at this time.
What did you say?
81 am not affiliated with the
church at this time.

ed with a church?

school or high school,

A. None whatever. The diff
Guilty which has always existed
in religion - also in patriotic
and other external observances
is one that flows from mans
nature. A being composed of
body and soul, he must use both
in all his relationships eg. shak-
ing hands, saluting the flag etc.
Unfortunately the outward ac-
tion often becomes mechanical,
and the noble intention and
true devotion that should vitalize
the action often fade away.
Catholic external practices, how
ever are centered in the Mass
and the Sacraments, which your
question seems to overlook.
There may be superstition in
the use of some devotional ar
ticles or actions, but it does
not destroy the value of these
means to increased love of God.
\ votive candle is offered with
a prayer and remains near the
altar as a silent prayer, repre-
senting the person who reluct.
antly leaves the presence Of God.
Novenas, following the nine days
of prayer by the Apostles before
Pentecost, fills a legitimate
need for turning our hearts to
God in ways that appeal to US.
No doubt there are some who
place too much emphasis on re-
suits or favors, but the devo-
tions themselves are hardly sup
erstitious for they are directed
to God.
@. Why are priests called
Father" a0hen the Bible forbids
it Matt. 23:9)?
A. When Christ said ~Call no
man your father upon the earth:
for one is your Father who is in
heaven" (Mathew 23:9) he did
not exclude the proper use of
the title for men. No one thinks
that it excludes its use in the
family or such expressions as
Father of his country" At
the time Christ was condemning
the proud independence and
1egalism of the Pharisees who
made themselves fathers" in
conflict with Gods authority.
The custom of calling priests
Father" is justified by the
Scriptures and by early usage in
the Church. 1t is based on the
fatherhood of the priest in the
Sacrament of Baptism John
3:5). st. Paul often referred to
himself as the spiritual faith.
er of those whom he had con-
verted philippians 2:22; Tim.
othy 10. In his first letter to
the Corinthions there is clear
use of this idea: 'For if you have
ten thousand instructors in
Christ, yet not many fathers.
For in Christ Jesus, by the Cos
pei, I have begotten you" q

heard that physical hunger is
rare in New York and Chicago:
they have not yet heard that
there is hunger of the soul
which can be quite as terrible.
Like An Evil Fog
One of the frequent reproach-
es cast against the Church by
her enemies is the fact that
some Latin and Catholic cour1-
tries lag in such things as uni
versal iiteracy and tiled bath
rooms. Critics imply that it is
an attribute of Professionalism to
make men brisk and business
like-thst the post-Reformation
mood is the one which has
brought forth the efficiency en-
gineer. In this, they are largely
right - and there is, Heaven
knows, no virtue in dirt nor an
inability to read. But these are
not the worst mishaps that can
befall a man.
Yet this emphasis upon the
virtues of the modern" has
crept, like an evil fog, into al
most everything we hear and
read today. We are asked to
scorn the beauties of the 18th
century (which produced Char
tres and st. Thomas, among 9TH
er excellent fruits because it
had not yet found out the prin-
ciple Of the gear-shift nor the
dimensions of Betelgeuse. We
are implored to admire our
selves for modern things: each
of us is to be Hamlet in modern
dress. And Hamlet was the sad
dest of all princes.
Stairs To Hope
If the Devil had planned 1t, he
could not have planned it more
shrewdly or more cannily. Yet,
he has lost-as he must always
lose. For even in the midst of
the ferro-concrete prisons that
we call apartment-houses, even
in the canyons where men dare
not speak to each other out of
fear of being considered uncon-
ventional, man has dared to rear
a few small stairs to hope.
Natural virtue has been made
immensely difficult in our day
by the Vaccinations of a Prince
of Darkness who has utilized
the good and wise inventions of
clever men to make life diff
cult for other men to live. But
the Son of God cannot be kept
out by devices that may make
natural virtue impossible. Wher-
ever there is an altar with the
Blessed Sacrament - wherever
there is a group of the devout
receiving their Lord upon their
lips-there. there is a weapon
which all the skyscrapers and
assembly-lines and misleading
books cannot confound.

cans. J. II. 0tdenbroek, general
secretary of the ICFTU, and his
associates at the Brussels head
quarters of the new trade union
international have peculiar
genius for antagonlzing Ameri-
cans in general and American
Catholics in particular.
The story of the ICFTU's con-
troversy with the American Fed
Grafton of Labor one of its
most important and influential
affiliates- is we'll known to any
body who has been reading the
newspapers during the past sew
eral months. This controversy.
fortunately in our opinion, has
now been satisfactorily resolved.
Meanwhile. however, the secre-
tariat of the ICFTU, for reasons
best known TO itself, stupidity
continues to antagonize its Amer.
lean affiliates.
AS matter of fact. even be-
fore the AFL had officially an
nounced its decision TO resume
an active role in the councils Of
the new anti-eommunist trade
union international, the official
ICFTU magazine Free Labou

very offensive anti-Catholie edi.
torial which will be deeply and
bitterly resented by a large per.
centage of the members and of
ficers OF both the AFL and the
CI0-Catholics and non-Catho-
lie alike.

significantly, fails to mention
that the laity were represented
at Barcelona by the tens of thou
sands from almost every coun-
try outside the Russian orbit.
presumably, some of the edi-
tors best friends are PopesD
This sort of fanaticism may go
over big with the doctrainaire
anti-clerical socialists of Cont
mental Europe, but one of these
days Mr.. Oldenbroek and his as
sociates at the Brussels head
quarters of the ICFTU had bet
ter wake up to the fact that the
American labor movement is not
composed of anti-clerical social
lists. The AFL and the CIO are
composed of responsible, God
fearing men and women who will
not permit their well,known OPP
position to the Franco regime to
be used as a camouflage for an
emotional diatribe against the
million Catholics including
thousands of trade unionists
from all parts of the world
who exercised the right to par
ticipate in a purely religious
ceremony in Barcelona, Spain.
No Simpletons
Unless | am badly mistaken,
MIR. Oldenbroek will be apprised
of this fact, in no uncertain
terms. at the next quarterly
meeting of the ICFTU executive
council. II the lesson fails to
sink in. 1t is entirely possible
that the 1853 convention of the
ICFTU-the first to be held in
the United States-will be pre-
sided over by new General
Secretary,
Americans are reasonably
patient people, but they are not
a bunch of simpletons. | serious
ly doubt that they will permit
Mr.. Oldenbroek to continue to
use the ICFTU as sounding
board for the anh-clerieal preju-
dices of the 10Th century.

WASHINCTON LETTER

WASHINGTON ~ Atheism is
just as much a part of the Com
munist Party doctrine in this
country as ii is in Soviet Russia
or in any of the satellite coun-
tries.
This was the testimony of
former communist before the
Senate Internal Security Com
mittee, according to the text of
hearings made public by that
group.
The witness was Herbert Rom
erstein of Brooklyn, NY, who
was not quite 20 years of age
when he appeared before the
committee on April IL, 1851, but
who testified that he had been
a member of the Communist
Party as a high school student.
The committee report describes
him as formerly OF the inner
circle of the Communist Party's
apparatus among youth"
A question and answer ex-
change between Mr. Romerstein
and Senator William f. Jenner
of Indiana is given in the com
mittee report as follows;
Senator Jenner: In your as
sociation as a Communist Party
member of the various youth or
CARNATIONS you described in
your testimony did you get any
indoctrination along the lines of
the churches; in other words,
did you get into atheism?
mir. Rommerstein. Yes. sir
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1952-09-05

Atheism is one of the basic par
ty doctrines,
Senator Jenner: How about
the morals of the youth? Has
any of that crept into these
youth organizations?
'Mr. Romerstein: The party
concept of morality is this: If
it is for the benefit of the party,
then it is moral. If it is opposed
to the needs of the party, then it
is immoral.
Senator Jenner: In your par
ticular case where your father
and mother objected to your tax
ing part in the Communist Party
and these front organizations
and youth organizations. did the
Communist organizations try to
keep you separated from your
home, tell you that your parents
we're wrong and that you were
right? Did you get any of that?
MIR. Romerstein: Certainly,
definitely, and my feeling and
the feeling of the Communists |
knew was that | was correct and
my parents we're wrong. AS |
said, we had quite a few fights
in the house about the question.
| always came away feeling that
! was right and my parents did
not know what they were talk
ing about"
Before the same committee, a
witness not as cooperative as Mr..
Romerstein testified for some
thing less than an hour and in

There are many of us these
days just sitting around waiting,
until waiting has become a habit.
We wait until we have more of
this worlds goods before we be-
lieve we can be happy. True
happiness comes in not what we
own but what we give.
Each of us has talents that
belong to us. There is no one
else that can use the talents we
possess in the way we are expect
ed to express them. So it be-
hooves each of us to develop
these talents for the benefit of
mankind.
We must use what we have if
we expect to get man. If we wish
friends we must first be a
friend. If we wish prosperity we
must look prosperous. In other
words we must have the mental
equivalent of the things we
desire. We must believe in our
good we desire.
There is a good way to tell
if we are on the right road to
success. 1t is when everything
we do clicks. That is, our every
effort brings the desired results.

cheated us. But / believe the

Asa Burlingame was an early
prominent settler of this town
ship, being a justice of the peace
and a school teacher. One of the
first schools was taught in an old
bean house on the Linus Bacon
farm. This building had no floor.
The early teachers were Thomas
Muzzy, Nancy Hardness, James
Warren, Israel Jordan and John
M. Foster. Jonathan Sprague was
lawyer from Massachusetts,,
locating near Hiramsburg, but
he had little practice.
The early manufacturers of
the township were not extensive.
Henry Hamilton had saw mill
which ran a few years. Russell
Prouty constructed a saw mill
which was specimen of Yankee
ingenuity. AS the steam on which
he desired to locate was too
small, he built an aqueduct,
bringing water from another
stream, thus increasing the
volume of the water. He first
started a store, then a saw mill,
and after the failure of these en-
gagged in the manufacture of
castor oil.
A wooden mill was put in
operation at Renrock about 1914
by a man named Bigger, who
later sold out to Joseph Bush.
Wool was carded and spun for
the whole community.
