Amid iee-creampa1or fofays Eddie Fisher re-
cordings and hot rod tnkerine American young
people do some serious thinking. This is evidenced
IN the theme Of National Catholic Youth Week-a
theme. by The way, chosen by the young people

Without any proddng from oldsters they have
spoken up 70 say that Americas hope is YOUTH

the coming week OF October rs TO 25 when the more

weglan port and that It's Ia
tholic life, if not precisely
flourishing, was at least active.
Norway has long been my ia
vorite among the Scandinavian
countries, largely because it is
mountainous. After two and
half months of lakes and pine
forests, anything above hun
dred feet looks extremely good.
Also, Norway is pleasant and has
retained to a very large degree
its rural outlook. The sea and
the hard life in agriculture have
given the Norwegian people
their character and resistance.
Individuslism, Bluntness
Norway is perhaps the most in-
tensely individualistic land IN
the north. Conformism is not
particularly popular. The citizen
who stands out for his unique
ness wins a respect and admira-
ton inconceivable in Sweden.
This is perhaps the secret of
Sigrid Undset. She was certain
ly not admired because she was
a Catholic. but because she was
first of all a genius and said
things that her fellow country
men could not deny were brill
iantly said and because she was
Catholic. Paradoxically her
Catholicism won for her a GER
tain grudging admiration be-
cause she chose TO be different
from everyone else.
Another quality of the Nor
wegian mind is its extraordinary
bluntness. Bishop Managers of
olso told me how. at the recent
Trondheim festivities marking
the 800th anniversary of the In
PRODUCTION of Christianity. one or
two of the speakers spoke out
with extraordinary candor about
the disintegration of Lutheran
ism and termed the Catholic
faith the sole bulwark of sanity
in the world today. This might

What Is Meaning Of
General AbsOIutiOn?
INQUIRY CORNER

Q. What is general dissolution,
Whot does IL do and Uhen is
it gtUen?
A. 1t refers to the Sacrament
of Penance given without con
fession of sins. Ii has the full
power to remove sins and give
the graces of the Sacrament, pro-
vided the person is sorry. Ii is
given in an emergency, as TO sol
diers on combat duty, when indi-
vidual confession is impossible.
Each individual must mention
the sins in their next confession
in much the same way as we
would mention sin we had for
gotten to confess. This term is
also used to refer to a blessing
of the Church, TO which a pie
nary indulgence is attached, Civ
en- at stated times to religious
and third order members.
@. Is it true that Buffalo Bill"
tcds a Catholic? Stephen
Douglas?
"A. The Catholic Almanac states
that he became Catholic on his
deathbed. He was baptized on
January 9, 1917. Stephen Doug
las, Senator from Illinois and
candidate for presidency against
Lincoln, also was converted dur
ing his last illness.
Q. What is a dispenSation? If
it is the changing of a La10' for
a particular person hot0 can it
be squared Nth Gods unchdnq-
ing LalD?
A. A dispensation is the re-
Taxation of a law in a particular
case. The law is nof changed. 1t
is established for the common
good, but in a particular case it
may be more beneficial to make
an exception. Christ gave the
Apostles and the Church power
to blind" and to loose" be-
cause it is here on earth to take
His place. The fundamental laws
of God do not admit of dispen-
sations, but Church laws may be
dispensed by priests and bishops
in the ways and under circum-
stance established by the
Church. The need OF penance is
stated by Christ and the Church
established days of fasting and
abstinence. DispenSations cannot
touch the need for penance, but
simply make exceptions in cas-
es where this or that penance
constitutes diSproportionate
burden for a certain person or
group of persons.
Q. Why cannot religion be a
matter Of loUing God without
dogma and lGtCs inUented long
after Christ?
A. Dogma means an opinion or
belief authoritatively stated, per-
tanning TO faith or morals. The
dogmas of the Catholic Church
contain the truths revealed by
God and taught by His Church
for our guidance in the matter
of loving God and our neighbor.
A religion without ideas is mean
ingless and Christs words: He
who believes and is baptized
shall be saved, but he who does

Grafton TO lord it over the CI0
or to treat it like an orphan or a
stepchild would be q reckless
disSeryice TO the cause of labor
unity to which the AFL and the
CIO are officially committed.
The no-rsiding pact adopted
by the AFL convention in St.
Louis was George MsanY's way

Iieves in labor unity and is pre-
pared TO negotiate with the clio

RsUfhsr Of the clio is expected
TO sponsor q similar treaty of
peace AZ the forthcoming clo
convention in November.
These convention resolutions
are all to the good. II is an open
secret, however, that some OF the
associates of Meany and Reuther
are not prepared to rstify the
no-raiding agreement. Meany and
Ruether will have TO use all of
the influence and prestige at
their command TO keep the
peace within and between their
respective declarations. Even if
they fail to establish organic un-
ity between the two federations.
let us hope that they will at least
find it possible to agree upon a
satisfactory formula for mutual
cooperation between the two or
CARNATIONS on behalf of social
justice. From the ethical point
of view ii is absolutely disgrace
full for ambitious trade union
buccaneers within either feder-
alton TO 60 on wasting the money
of the rank and file on jurisdie-
tional disputes and interunion
raiding. For this Is hard-earned
money that ought to be used to
service existing unions more ef-
fectively and to organize the
great mass of unorganized work
ers totaling we'll over so per
cent of the working force in
American industry.

RICHARD PATTEE
Norway ReUisited

have been striking enough per
Sc, but done in the presence of
a Lutheran bishop it revealed
something of the way the mind
operates in Norway. There is a
certain crudity, energy and force
fulness in Norway that is not
to be found in Sweden.
The land is poor in Norway;
far poorer than in Sweden. The
rayages of war have not yet
been overcome. Half of Norway
was destroyed during the fierce
fighting in the center and north.
The fleet has had to be restored,
fishing revived and the minor in-
dustrial life reconstructed.
The Capital
Oslo is by far the most sympa-
thetic city in Scandinavia, find,
in the sense that even though
Catholicism is a minority and
hardly visible, the atmosphere
does not seem to eXude hostility
of any kind. BY no means as so
phisticated or as elegant as
Stockholm. Incomparably less so
than Copenhagen, it compares in
some ways with Helsinki. An
agreeable. coy sort of city,
where nothing much happens,
the tourist bent on giddy night
life might better pass it up. II
is not even q particularly beauti-
full city unless one concentrates
entirely on the natural scenery
that forms its background. The
architecture is pretty terrible.
Away from the center-along
karljohansgate from the railway
station to the royal palace-there
really isn't anything. Nothing
really remains of medieval The
only touch of it is found in the
remarkable outdoor museum at
Bygdy where 17th-century rural
buildings are displayed in what
looks like a cinema setting for
the filming Of Kristin Lavrans-
datter.
No Nonsense
But Norway has strength and
power and vitality. 1t took the
worst beating during the war of
any country save Finland. The
occupation was, / suppose, the
most gruelling of almost any Eu-
ropean nation. Out of it all came
a rebirth which shows itself in
the unstinting adherence of Nor
way to the Atlantic Pact-and
this in spite of a shcrt common
frontier with the Soviet Union.
Norway knows where it stands
and goes in for no nonsense.
There is something comforting
IL this impecunious nation
whose surface is much like all
Scandinavia. But underneath the
surface are the virtu sand the
faults of the Vikings, marauders
and seamen of the past.

not believe shall be condemned"
Mark 1910 indicates His dog.
ma. When God teaches through
His Church it is not a matter of
offensive authoritarian teaching,
but of necessary presentation of
the truth needed for our saliva
tion.
@. Who lvuS st. John BoSco?
A. st. John Bosco, founder Of
the Salesian Society, was born IN
Piedmont in 1915 and worked as
a secular priest in Turin. He was
especially noted for his influence
over boys and young men. In
1912 he founded his 0ratory for
housing and training poor boys.
He also founded a congregation
of nuns dedicated to similar
work among girls. He died in
1888.
@. What is an interdict? Er-
communication? Suspension?
A. IAN interdict is. a censure
or medicinal penalty by which
the faithful day land clerics),
though remaining in the COM
munion of the Church, are de-
prived of certain Sacraments and
other sacred things. 1t differs
from accommodation, which
sewers from communion with the
other faithful, and from suspen-
sion, which is inflicted only on
clerics.' c'Dictionary of Dog
matte Theology - Parentel An
interdict may be placed upon
certain territory or parish, de-
priving that place of some or all
of the privileges of Catholics.
Individuals may go to Mass and
the sacraments in another par
ish, whereas when person is exc
communicated he is excluded
from reception of Holy Com
munion anywhere until he has
been absolVed.
q. When 1CdS the second half
of the Hail Mary added?
A. In the earlier part of the
twelfth century only the angels
salHation Hail Mary, full of
grace, the Lord is with thee) was
in general use. AT that time the
words of st. Elizabeth were join
ed so that the first half of the
Hail Mary was taken from the
Gospel OF St. Luke f1.28, Az.
The second half of the prayer
: became general by the middle
of the sixteenth century. st.
Bernardino of Siena was possibly
the first person to add this sec
ond half.
@. What is an evangelist?
A. Among Catholics the word
is applied only to the authors of
the four Gospels, Saints Mat
thew, Mark, Luke and John, In
apostolic times it seems TO have
had the force of our word
missionary. The Gospels are
the Good Tidings" (the mean
ing of the Greek words from
which evangelist comes).

the Jewish area during the Pales-
tine fighting and some since.
The important thing is that
these incidents are continuing
at the present time when there
can be no more excuses that
they are due to irresponsible
elements" or are the result of
wartime exeesseS."
1t is also noteworthy that Ca
tholic villages have been destroy
ed in this brutal manner while
Moslem villages even nearer the
Arab-lsrael frontier have not
been touched, nor have their in
habitants been molested.
The crux of the matter is
whether Catholics can live in
peace in Israel. 1t is not a ques-
tion of Arab refugees scattered
in other countries, but Of people
who are citizens of Israel They
did not flee to other lands. They
wished TO remain in that part
of Palestine now called Israel
and they have the right to re-
main there and live in peace,
particularly because they were
never involved in the Arab-JeW-
ish conflict.
The Kafr- Bran incident came
to light as new call was made
before the United Nations Gen
eral Assembly for effective action
by that body to internationalize
Jerusalem and its environs.

WASHINGT0N-NC) - The
brutal destruction of a Catholic
