9. Why don't priests marry,

Q. Why don't priests nldrrys
A. Catholic priests of the Lat
In rite do not marry because the
law of the Church excludes mar
ried men from Holy Orders.
When st. Peter asked Christ
about the apostles reward, say
ing Behold we have left all and
followed thee" Christ spoke
of this practice. He said, "And
everyone who has left house or
brothers, or sisters, or father, or
mother, or wife, or children, or
lands, for my names sake, shall
receive hundredfold :" MAT
thew 19:27-29). st. Paul refers
to the ideal too: HE who is un-
married is concerned 1--WE might
add "more') about the things
of the Lord, how he may please
God. Whereas he who is married
is concerned tmore) about the
things of the world. how he may
please his wife !" q Corinthi-
ans 7:32-33). AS a universal law
it originated with the Church,
as we see by exceptions where
by married men with the con-
sent of and upon separation
from their wives become priests.
The priests of oriental rites may
marry.
@. Is 1T of obligation for en-
gagged couples to reUedI the past?
If one has been guilty of Sert-
Gus sins, for example, does he
hare to tell the other person?
If not necessary as it advisable?
A. No one is bound to destroy
his own good name. If there is
something in the past which
would substantially affect the
marriage consent, so that decep-
ton in the matter would make
the marriage invalid, it must be
told. Generally, however, a pros
pective bride and groom choose a
certain person knowing that it is
for better or for worse" includ-
ing a possible past. The advis-
ability of telling past sins, espe-
cially sins against the sixth
commandment, d lie p ends upon
the individuals. 1t is Christian
practice to recognize the third
purpose of marriage, the relief
of concupiscence, but revelation
of past sins may lead only to les
sened respect. In many cases it
leads to suspicion and jealousy
when such condolences are re
called in later years. We actual
ly need some illusions, as we do
not know all the persons past
good deeds and virtues.
@. Why do Catholics abstain
from meat on Friday?
A. Because IT is the express
will of Christ expressed through
His Church. From earliest
times the Church leg, in the
Didache or Teaching of the
Twelve Apostles) has observed
this respect for the day of
Christ's death. II is combined

RICHARD PATTEE
The Adan1ic Tito

tinue to argue that Archbishop
Stepinac was sort of anachron-
ism in the new Yugoslavia and
that they were quite frankly
'stuck with him." He is a prod
uct of religious history in the
Balkins, going back not hun
dreds of years but q thousand.
In a way he is delayed climax
Of the Rome-Byzantium rivalry.
He is part of the heart of a
heartless world. Remnants of
that world are still with us. Our
task is to work ourselves clear
of them.
Tito and his colleagues, ac-
cording to this transcription of
Adamic, were appalled," at the
idea that a school in New York
should bear the name of the
heroic Archbishop. I'VE are APP
palled that American parents
wish to send their children to 4
school named after a war crimi-
nal"
Panied lneomprehension
In wandering about Slovenia
and Croatia, Adamic has numer-
Gus reflections on the state OF
religion. He finds churches de-
serted and the anti-religious
feeling so strong in Slovenia
that the clergy 90 about in civil
ian dress to avoid insults. He
discovers numerous priests who
are in great disrepute-accord-
ing to him-because of their ac-
knowledged "anti-people" stti-
tude during and after the war.
The picture one gets of reli-
gion in Yugoslavia through these
pages is not a persecution at all.
but a sort of panied incompre-
hension on the part of the COM
munist state that there should
still be citizens who see in re-
ligion anything but a snare and
a delusion. Adamic gives an al
most idyllic account of the pa
tience and moderation with
which the paternal state allows
these alterations to exist in the
certainty that sooner or later the
Yugoslav will reach sufficient
maturity to recognize the pueril-
ity of the whole thing.
Odd covrfship
| rather imagine that books of
this kind will do considerable
damage. We are living through
a period in which the warmth of
feeling for Tito is rising. The
British Catholic press has be-
come extremely caustic over the
invitation extended by Anthony
Eden to Tito to come to Britain.
1t will be instructive and illunii-
mating TO see just how the Brit
ish manage this contradiction IL
the visit materializes. 1t is not
easy TO defend the institutions
and convictions of the west and
at the same time court one of
the most notorious and vicious
enemies of those institutions.

Southern Negro Leaders,
Dangerous Radical

The campaign which was brought to close on
November 4th with the election of the Republican cand
date, General Dwight D. Eisenhower to President of
the United States, has been pretty generally described
Of the most bitter and heated in the political
campaign history of the nation and yet despite the
thickness OF political skim we were struck in an
unusual way having just got back from campaigning on
behalf of the Democratic Party candidates. when we
heard the distinguished former Lieutenant Governor of
MISSISSIPPI the Honorable Sam Lumpkn described us as
most dangerous radical.
Our unusual reaction must have been due to what
we saw and what we heard with respect Senator Spark
man, the Democratic Candidate for Vice President and
southern white people generally as our can1napn sneak
ing tour took into the northern Negro neighborhood
IN sections of Ohio Pennsylvania Indiana and for the
same reason we might the border state of Kentucky
What we found as we went along that the Repubi-
cans mad spread tons of ant-southern and antiSpark
man campaign literature over the northern Negro neigh
borhoods Seeing this development in the speeches we
made as we'll as IN private conversation with important
Negro leaders, took upon ourselves the responsibility
or not only defending Senator Sparkman but defending
also the Whe people OF the south generally among whom
we nave always contended there is be found MANY
thousands OF as fine white people as are to be found in
other sections of the country Under the influence of the
republican Campaign literature found that most
northern Negroes had been embittered that we were

defender of Southern white people,
From our experience and observation the Republi-
cans were conducting somewhat different campaign in
tner effort to capture the northern Negro vote than
tnat winch they were conducting in the south in order
to break the solid south
1t seems inevitable according to most informed OBJ
servers that two party system for the south will be
one OF the significant results of the Republican Victory
and the election of General Eisenhower as President of
the United States
Returning to the remark charging us with BEING
dangerous Radical, made in the Monday night Radio
talk by the distinguished former Lieutenant Governor of
the state, we know the saying that all is fair in love
and war and how that saying is applied in political cam
palgning We also realize that the distinguished gentle
