spiritual and moral ends Of
humanity. unless they help
each other to attain them,
and. as consequence, unless
they mutually agree to oppose
the cause of division reigning
among them in the discrep-
ancy Of the. standard of living
and of productivity.
This can and should be done
in Europe. by forming the con-
tinental union of it's peoples,
different indeed, but geograph-
ically and historically bound
together. A strong encourage
ment to such a union is the
manifest failure of the con-
trary policy, and the fact that
the ordinary people in these
countries expect it and con-
slider it necessary and possible.
The time, then, seems mature
for the idea to become reality.
Hence we exhort to action first
and foremost Christian states
men, deeming it's task to
promote every sort Of peace
full union between nations.
Why continue to hesitate?
The end is clear; the needs Of
nations are obvious to all.
If any one asks in advance
for an absolute guarantee of
success, the answer is that
there is a risk, but a neces-
Sary one; a risk. but in keeping
with present possibilities; a
reasonable risk. One must
proceed certainly with caution,
advance with well-calculated
steps; but why distrust at this
point the high degree of skill
attained by political science
and practice? They are suffi-
GENTLY capable of foreseeing
the obstacles and preparing
the remedies. The supreme
Evening star., 1953-12-24

With this end in view, we
also exhort Christian states
men to action within their
own nations. If order does
not reign in the internal life
of nations it is vain to ex-
pect European union and the
security of peace in the
world. :.
The Christian statesman
does not serve the cause of
national or international peace
when he abandons the solid
basis of objective experience
and clear-cut principles and
transforms himself as it were
into a divinely inspired herald
of a new social world, helping
to confuse even more minds
already uncertain. He is gull
ty of this fault who thinks he
can experiment with the social
order, and especially he who
is not resolved to make the
authority of the state and
observance of the laws prevail
among all classes of society.
Is it perhaps necessary to
demonstrate the weakness in
authority more than any other
weakness, undermines the
strength of a nation, and that
the weakness of one nation
brings with it the weakness Of
Europe and imperils the gen.
eral peace?

Unrest and SuperficioIity
Caused by State of Mind

Not that technology in itself
requires as a logical con-
clusion the denial of religious
values-on the contrary, as we
have said, logic leads to their
acknowledgment, but it is that
chronological spirit" that puts
man into a state of mind that
is unfavorable for seeking,
finding, accepting truths and
goods for a supernatural
order. The very remedy for
this defect, which would con-
sist of a redoubled effort to ex-
tend ones vision beyond the
barrier Of darkness and to
stimulate in the soul an in

Grave Spiritual Danger
In Technology Advance

Nevertheless, it can hardly
be denied that this technology
which in our century has
reached the height of its splen-
dor and fruitfulness, is,
through certain circumstances,
changed into a grave spiritual
danger. For it seems to give
modern man, PROSTATE at it's
altar, a sense of self -sufficien-
cy and satisfaction of his
boundleSs thirst for knowledge
and power. In its many varied
uses, in the absolute confidence
which it awakens, in the ex-
traordinary possibilities that it
promises, modern technology
displays before man so vast a
vision as to be confounded by
many with the infinite itself.
In consequence. it is allowed
an inadmiSSible autonomy,
which in turn is translated
into the thoughts of some in a
false conception of life and of
the world. known as the "tech-
biological spirit" In what ex-
actly does it consist? In this,
that what is most highly
priced in human life is the adj
vantage that can be drawn
from the forces and elements
Of nature; whatever is tech
nically possible in mechanical
production takes precedence
over all other forms of human
activity, and the perfection of
earthly culture and happiness
is seen in it.
There is a fundamental
falsehood in this distorted
vision from this results
the deep anguish of contem-
porary man, made blind for
having wilfully surrounded
himself with darkness.
Much more serious is the
damage in the realm of spe-
ciflcally religious truths and
Of his relations with the super
natural to the man who is in
toxicated with the "techno-
logical spirit"

VATICAN CITY. Dec. "a
FOLLOWING are excerpts from
the official English tert of the
Pope's Christmas message to
the World:
Despite such a generous out
pouring of divine light from
the humble manger. man still
has the terrifying power to
sink himself in the former
darkness caused by the first
sin, where the spirit grows
callouS in works of evil. For
such as thus blindly follow
their own will. through lost or
weakened faith, Christmas
holds no other attraction than
that Of a merely human festi-
val dissolved into hollow SEN
timent and purely earthly
memories.
Neurological progress:
It is to these men whose
spirit is in darkness that we
wish to point out "the great
light" radiating from the
manger, asking them above
all else to realize the cause
which in our time is making
them blind and insensible to
the divine. It is the exceS-
Sive, and sometimes exclusive,
esteem for what is called
progress in technology" This
dream was first cherished as
the omnipotent myth and dis
pensed of happiness, then
pushed forward by every de-
vice to the most daring con-
quests. and it has finally i'm
posed itself on the minds of
men as the final end Of man
and Of life. substituting itself
therefore for every kind O
religious and spiritual ideal.
=. The supernatural world
and the work of redemption,
which is above all natural
things and was accomplished
by Jesus Christ, remain
wrapped in total obscurity for
those men who walk in dark
ness.
The church loves and favors
human progress. It is un-
deniable that chronological
progress comes from God, and
so it can and ought to lead to
God. In point of fact, while
the believer admireS the con-
quests of science and makes
use OF them to penetrate more
deeply into the knowledge of
creation and of the forces of
nature, that by means of ma
chimes he may better master
them for the service of man
kind and the enrichment of
human life, it most often hap
pens that he feels himself
drawn to adore the Giver or
those good things which he
admireS and uses. Very far
then from any thought of dis
avowing the marvels of tech
nology and its lawful use, the
believer may find himself more
eager to bow his knee before
the celestial babe of the man
ger. He will even find it
natural to place beside the
gold, frankincense and myrrh,
offered by the magi to the
infant God. also the modern
conquests of technology. 1,.

Man Into q Giant
At Expense Of Soul

The technologist, whether
master or pupil. who would
free himself from this hmita-
ton needs not only an educa-
ton of mind that aims at depth
Of knowledge, but above all he
needs d religious formation.
which. despite what is some
times asserted, is the kind most
apt to safeguard this thought
from one-sided influences.
Then the narrowness of his
knowledge will be broken
through; then creation will ap-
pear before him illumined in
all it's dimensions. :. Other
wise. this era of chronological
progress will achieve it's mon
strous masterpiece. m king
man into a giant Of the physi-
cal world, at the expense Of his
soul, reduced to pygmy in the
realm Of the supernatural and
eternal.
But this is not the only harm
done by chronological progress
when it is accepted in the
thinking of men as something
autonomous and an end in
itself. -.
Look for q moment at this
spirit already at work among
the people, and reflect espe-
cially how it has changed the
human and Christian concept
of work, and what influence it
exercises on legislation and
administration. The people
have welcomed and rightly so,
chronological progress. because
it eases the burden of toll and
increases production. But also
it must be admitted that if
such way of thinking is not
kept within right bounds, the
human and Christian concept
of work necessarily becomes
distorted. Likewise from this
distorted concept of life and
hence of work. men come to
consider leisure time as an end
in itself. instead of looking
upon it and using it as reason
able rest and recreation, bound
up essentially with the rhythm
of an ordered life, in which
rest and toll alternate in a
single pattern and are inte-
grated into a single harmony.
More evident still is the influ-
ence of the archaeological
spirit" applied to work, when
Sunday loses its unique dig
nifty as the day devoted to
worship of God or when
professional work becomes so
dependent on and subordinate
to the efficiency" of the ma
chine and of the tools of labor
that the worker is rapidly ex-
hauSted, as though one year Of
working at his trade were to
use up the energy required in
two or more years of normal
life.

MoterioIism Aggrovotes
Problem of Europe

AS our eyes constantly scan
the horizon in anxious search
of some enduring signs of
Frightening (if not of that
full light of which the prophet
spoke), there meets them in
stead the grey vision of a still
unsettled Europe, where the
materialism of which we have
spoken, instead of solving,
only aggravateS its fundamen-
tai problems. These problems
are intimately connected with
peace and order in the whole
world.
In truth, materialisrn does
not threaten this continent
more seriously than other re-
gions of the world. On the
contrary we think that coun-
tries which have been over
taken late and Unexpectedly
by the rapid progress of tech
nology are more exposed to
the dangers alluded to, and
more vitally disturbed in their
moral and psychological equi-
librium.
Nevertheless our grave fears
for Europe are stirred by the
repeated disappointments with
which the sincere desire for
peace and a relaxation of ten
sion cherished by these nations
for years met with; this is also
due to a material approach to
the problem of peace
The materialistic idea Of life
threatens to become the rule
of conduct of certain busy
peace agents, and the main
spring of their pacifist policy.
They think that the secret of
the solution lies in bringing
material prosperity to all ma
tions through constant in
crease in productivity and in
the standard of living
