which he calls himself, Mr.,
Gould formerly looked with
something like favor on the ad-
vance of the Chinese Commun-
lists. As editor of an outstand-
ing English-language newspaper
in China, he was no small fac
tor in persuading the American
business colony in Shanghai to
root for the Chinese Reds.
American members of the
Shanghai Chamber of Com
merce, up to the time that the
city was taken over by the Stall
mites, inspired news dispatches
to their homeland favorable to
Mao Tse-tung. Plainly, they hop
ed to do business with him.
Despite all these friendly ges.
lures, Chinese Reds confiscated
all the large foreign holdings in
Shanghai, and promptly inn
prisoned Mr.. Gould. Report has
it that he was miStreated. 1t is
certain that he could not get out
of China until his employer, c.
V. Starr. had paid large ran.

to note that Mr.. Gould, in The
Christian Science Monitor of
June 81, is inclined to take an
optimistic view of what is oc.

There are Tories in this de-
bate who are apt to ask, "Could
the Doctors of the Church--en-
gagged in studying and healing
souls for twenty centuries-have
overlooked so important an ele-
ment as the 'subconscious', if
such a thing were actually in
existence?"
Hardly, they reply, and con-
clude that the very premises of
much psychiatry are fictions,
legends and medical myths.
More practically, this group
points out that psyche" and
"soul" are indistinguishable
words, at least in origin. Why,
they inquire, should the doctor
invade the realm of spirit over
which the priest presides?
The other Side
But there are also Catholic
radicals who are on the other
side of the religion -psychiatry
issue. They contend that mental
illness is no more the priests
affair. than physical illness is.
When they are reminded that
Sigmund Freud expressed a vio-
lent hatred of all religion, they
answer that his attitude and his
personal prejudice bear no rela-
tion to the methods of treatment
he laid down. They argue that a
psychiatrist's moral concepts
have no more to do with his fit
ness to treat believing Catho-
lie than the moral concepts of
a surgeon have to do with his
right to remove Catholic ap-
pendix.
Both Tories and radicals may
now rejoice. A book which will
provide each of them with inn
mense and valuable data has
been lately issued. Its authors
are Father James Van Der Veldt
of the Psychology Department
and DR.. Robert P. Odenwald of
the Psychiatry Department of
Catholic University. They have
been brave enough to publish
a 422-page discussion of the
moot matter. Their four hun

INQUIRY CORNER

@. What is the reason for the
fast before Holy Communion?
A. The law of fasting from
midnight is grave law of the
Church requiring abstinence
from food and drink. Exceptions
for the sick and for men in serv-
ice indicate the fact that it is
not essential to the Sacrament.
In the early Church there was a
meal before the Mass. st. Paul
refers to this and points out:
at the meal, each one takes first
his own supper, and one is hun
cry, and another drinks over
much In this / do not COM
mend you q Cor. 11:22). With the
change to Sunday for the prin-
cipal Mass (ActS 20:7) the depar-
ture from evening Mass Joined
to make fasting practical. 1t was
designed to prevent any unwor-
thy approach to Holy Commun-
ion, and to add a note of pen
ance to our preparation.
@. Is the doctrine of the AS.
sumption of Mary into heaven a
neU one?
A. When Pope Plus XII pro-
claimed the Assumption of the
Blessed Virgin Mary as a truth
revealed by God and a matter of
faith he stated no new doctrine.
November /, 1850, saw merely
the final definition of a truth
held fast in the belief and pray
er of Catholics since the Apos-
ties. AS Catholics know, Tradi-
ton, the record of belief of the
early Church, contains necessary
explanations and facts taught
by the Apostles and not includ-
ed in the New Testament. It
was taught by st. John Damas-
Gene, st. Gregory of Tours, st.
Jerome and st. Augustine among
others, and the feast day was
celebrated in Palestine before
the year 500. One decade of the
rosary has been dedicated to
the Assumption for nine hun
dred years and it has been uni
versally accepted by Catholics.
st. John Damsscene (676-770)
refers to it as IAN ancient ira
dition" and the Council of Chal-
cedon (451 refers to it.

WASHINGTON ~ Probably no
Catholic event in years has com
manded the attention of this and
other world capitals so thorough
ly as the Katholikentag to be
held in Berlin, beginning Tues
day, August 19.
Katholikentag means Catholic
Day In fact, it is a National
Catholic Week of study and dis
Gus on. This year it il planned
to extend over six days, August
10 to 25. The theme for 1852 IS:
God Lives Eminent speakers,
clerical and lay, are scheduled
TO discuss this theme from the
viewpoints of dogma, the Bible,
liturgy. theology, philosophy and
literature.
Interest in this historic meet
ing was stirred by the very first
announcement of the 1852 gath
ering. 1t was stated that ii was
TO be held in both the East and
West sectors of Berlin. Observers
asked if this could mean a soft
ening of the communist attitude
toward religion They sat back
and waited.
Since then the situation has de-
Perforated noticeably. AS of this
time, the meeting is still SEIZED
uled to be held on both sides of
the dividing line in Berlin, but
many are wondering how that
will work out There have been
very real signs that the com
munists have not improved their

attitude toward religion. In fact,
there are fears that Moscow may
have ordered an about war
against the Catholic Church in
East Germany to be started 1t
once perhaps along the lines of
what has been done in Czecho-
slovakia.
Several months ago, now. the
East German communist regime
began to drop all show of friend
illness toward the Church. Bish-
op Wilhelm Weskamm of Ber-
lin was denied regular and per-
manent access to that part of
his diocese which lies in com
munist-controlled territory. 1t has
been estimated that there are
nearly 100000 Catholics in this
area. So far, the Red action
means that the Bishop no longer
has a permanent pass to visit his
spiritual charges in communist
territory, but must apply for a
pass each time he wishes to cross
the dividing line. OF course, the
Reds may not refuse the Bishop
his pass during the Katholiken-
tag, but they can, and he must
apply each time he wishes to
cross from one zone to another.
And, he is the host to the great
Catholic meeting.

translation, but the Church fol-
lows the literal wording of the
Scriptures.
@. If Christ is the Mediator
ho,0 con the priest forgive sins?
A. One Mediator redeemed us.
The priest is an accredited agent
of the one Mediator. Confession
is the way of applying Christ's
merits to the person who has
sinned after Baptism. Clearly
Christ gave the Apostles power
to forgive or to retain sins (St.
John 20:19-23) explicitly saying
as the Father has sent Me ! al
so send you.
Q. Is not prayer directly to
God better than one through
Mary? God loves us more than
Mary does
A. God is the best judge of
effective prayer and His Church
has always approved devotion to
Mary and the saints. God loves
Mary a great deal more than He
loves any one of us, so her pray
er for us is more pleasing than
our own. Actually there should
be no conflict, for if we follow
the Mass and other public pray
ers together with approved pri.
vate prayers we pray constantly
to God directly. When we pray to
God through Mary we do not re-
move God from our mind and in
tention. We have added her in-
tercesslon to our prayer, and
shown due honor to Christ's
mother. st. James tells us that
"the prayer of a just man avail
eth much" (5:16). Mary is the
most just and close to God, and
her love for us is most "prac-
tical". Consider her care for the
people at the wedding feast and
her power to obtain an unusual
favor from her Son (St. John
2:D.
@. Do non-CathoIicS haze
guardian angels to protect
them?
A, st. Thomas Aquinas says
that God denies to no one the
general helps toward salvation.
Christ indicated the existence
of guardian angels in His state
ment: "Their angels always see
the face of my Father in heav-
en-" Matt. 1910. There is no
reason why this should not ap-
ply to every man. The devils
certainly are permitted to at
tack all men, and it is reason
able to believe that all are pro-
tected by opposing angels.
Q. What is the Doudy Bible?
; A. II is the Catholic English
edition of the Sacred Scriptures.
1t takes its name from the place
where the exiled English Cath
olics published this approved
translation. The New Testament
appeared in 1882 and the Old
in 1910.

thors give the Tories comes in n
discussion of the neutral psy-
chiatrist-the man who, in the
ory, refuses to take sides in
whatever conflict may be agi-
tating his patients mind. He is
the man who says, "It does not
matter what / myself believe. |
am a neutral umpire between
the repressed desires and moral
conscience of the patient" This
"neutralism" is the much-favor-
ed plea of non-believing psychi-
artists who assure the world
that they can treat a Catholic
without in any way doing dam
age to his faith.
The authors simply do not
believe that "neutralism is pos
sible or that, if it toere possible
it would be acceptable to the be-
lieving Catholic.
Neutrality Rare
So much for the psychitarist
who really is neutral. He must,
by his own principles, sit pas
Siyely by and watch his patient
decide on suicide or murder,
broad-mindedly eschewing any
criticism of the choice. But few
psychiatrists are as neutral as
all that.
The atheist, then, the man
who has no reasoned belief in
the natural moral law, will, whe-
ther he wishes, to or not, draw
his patients beliefs closer to his
own before the treatments have
been ended. Atheist psychia-
trists are threat to the Faith.
No Tory Handbook
But the book is not, by any
means, a Tory's handbook. The
authors condemn all morally
neutral" psyehiatrists; they do
not condemn all psychiatrists,
even for Catholics. Religion"
they say, ''is no substitute for
psychiatry." They recommend
pithily. "Once a person has a
serious mental breakdown he
may-if he wishes-go to church
and light a candle, but right
after that it would be a sensible
thing for him to visit the office
of a psychiatrist."
To them the crux of the mat
ter is the question: 'What psy-
chiatrist?" And it is a question
that concerns the theologian in
a way that the question, What
surgeon?", is not apt to do. It
is only in a few cases, mostly
obstetrical, that the moral atti-
tude of a surgeon is of vital in
terest to Catholic patient. But
no patient can spend single
hour in the office of a psychia-
trist without being in some way
affected by his fundamental
moral and religious beliefs.

Mao Teaches Red Tactics

tening of Stalin's rule over Chi
ma, since the Kremlin dictator
is the master "anti-imperialist."
Meanwhile, the beginnings of
forced collective farms go on.
1t will be speeded up as soon
as the Communists find it feas-
lble to do so.
Fastening Siaiin's Grip
From his lack of knowledge
of this Communist technique,
Mr.. Gould draws the conclusion
that Americans should not hold
a perpetual fear and hatred of
the label Communism in Chi
na." There will come time,
he predicts, when the peoples
government "will be unable to
provide food and clothing. Then
il is that Americans should step
in-of course, without any con-
Germ about the label "Commun-
ism" Presumably the former
editor of The Shanghai Epeninq
Post still wants us to do buSi-
ness with Mao Tse-tung by loans
or other financial aid. We boil
stored up Red Poland in that
way. the argument may 90, so
why not Red China?
Such a view and program will
only help to fasten Stalin's grip
on the Chinese nation. II there
is famine. Moscow can do as it
did in Russia: starve out mil
lions of the general population
but always feed and train a
strong army. If the United States
aids the Communist regime by
funds or recognition, as with
Poland, the Communists will
take our money and use it
against US.
A much better solution is the
realistic one. Not merely the
end of all thoughts of recog-
nizing Red China but action to
induce Great Britain TO lpith-
drdt0 recognition. Unless that is
done, Japan will follow Britain's
lead-and that will be a tragedy
for Asia and America.

Eas German (communisD re-
gine, shouted at a Red conven-
ton, "the Church can no longer
camouflage its attitude with
masque of neutrality"
~The Church in the German
Democratic Republic (meaning
the communist regime in East
Germany must decisively sep
arate itself from all American
and English agencies. The Chris
tian morality of humanity can
not be reconciled with the pol
icy of enslavement pursued by
the Adenauer government (of
West Germany and with the
domination of the American,
English and French occupiers in
West Germany and in Western
Berlin" he added.
And so, while the peace pact
presents the Reds with a very
flimsy excuse indeed for attack
ing the Catholic Church, the Reds
do not shrink from using ii. At
the same time, the hobbling at
tacks upon the Church provide
the minions of Moscow with the
means of showing the Western
Powers that they are going to
do everything they can to fright
en- the people of West Germany
out of their peace pact with the
Western Powers. That is why
the political capitals of the world
are watching what happens in
Berlin next week.
