This being so, the Foundations
which frequently underwrite
these brain-picking expeditions
might consider really import
ant survey of the American mind.
They might send out their squads
OF engaging young men with a list
of questions (cribbed from the
manuals of moral theology as
to what acts our fellow citizens
consider good and what acts evil
and, in both eases, exactly why.
II would be a far more illumii-
ating survey than those conduct
ed by manufacturers of washing
machines or, for that matter, by
DR. Kinsey.
Much of the enlightenment TO
be expected from toting up the
results would come from a study
of two special groups, whose
conduct may appear to show no
great difference. But when the
returns we're in-when the tab
ulating machines had processed
them and the slide-rule boys
completed their logarithmic tri-
umphs-then we should be able
TO compare two groups of Amer
leans: the pagans, who have new
er come close to the Faith, and
the lapsed Catholics, who have
left it.
Enormous Difference
II is agreed by priests who
have had dealings with the fall
en-aways that their philosophy
is trimmed to fit their conduct.
If a Catholic consistently misses
Mass through lazineSs, he will oft
en- produce an ingenious theory
to explain Gods Immanence on
his own front porch. If another
Catholic keeps away from the
Sacraments because he will not
live up to the commandments of
tht Church. he will tell you that
he cannot accept the infallibility
of the Pope. This is the self-de-
ceiving process known as "ra-
tionahzing." And that is why
il is so interesting: it is not an
honest conviction. based on the
best truth mans mind has
been able to attain.
Now. the pagan. wrapped in
invincible ignorance, may also re-
ject the authority of the Holy See
but in his case. this is an hon
est error. Ii fits in harmonious
ly with all his other beliefs. He
may truly believe that God Is
10 be found on the golf links.
or that one religion is as good
as another. or that miracles are
impossible. and still be in the
best of faith. He is not forcing
his convictions to make room
for his sins.
There is an enormous differ
ence between these two states of
mind: and ii is this difference
that the canvasser of moral atti-
tudes would discover. For no Ca
tholic ever loses all his Faith.
The Catholic times. [volume] (Columbus, Ohio) 1951-current, 1953-07-31

No matter how hard he may try
TO rub the Baptismal seal from
all his soul, the mark remains.
For him to become merely n
good pagan is as impossible as
IL would be TO turn a butterfly
into a caterpillar. He might cut
off its wings. But he would have
only mutilated butterfly.
Democracy" Makes 1t Right
In the mind of the lapsed CO
tholic are a hundred beliefs ths
Faith implanted there, and they
have survived the premises of
Faith. Such man retains many
Catholic judgments torn from
the context that would support
them on reasonable basis. He
cannot stroll across the altar
that holds the Blessed Sacrament
with the casual step of the pag-
an who does not know What is
there. He cannot Fundamentally
accept the pagan assumption that
truth is whatever most men be.

or that whatever works" is jus.
titled regardless of its rightness,
or that hurting other people is
the sole sin open to man.. He
the sole sin open to man. He
knows too much; and however
Catholic heritage, he cannot, in
lifetime, discard all the truths
which the good pagan has not
even begun TO suspect.
Examples are abundant and
we find them whenever we pick
up serious magazine. If it is
liberal magazine. there will, like
as not, be an article telling why
the United Nations is right to
outlaw genocide-the murder of
men because of their race. But
the same issue may carry an
other article indicating that il
the majority votes for anything
-euthanasia, birth control, easy
divorce, Marxists textbooks in
the school. anything-it becomes
right because that is democracy"
FsIlentAway Psychology
Well, why doesn't genocide
become right if the majority fa-
vor II in a particular country in
particular year? The modern
mans horror of genocide is act
ually Christian hold-over, a
memory torn out of context
which tells him that murder is A
sin, and remains sin even if
1907 of population favor it.
But the liberal has forgotten
chy he thinks this way. He holds
to such Catholic tenets when
they do not accord with his
fundamental premises. The pag-N
an American is thus willing to
see fortune of his tax money
spent supporting the Rosenberg
spies and paying for the whole
costly machinery involved in
multiple appeals, rather than
risk the remote chance of execut-
ing an innocent person. Why9
Because the American has still
the Catholic belief that any in
diyidual is infinitely precious as
child of God. But he does not
know that this is his belief.
That is the way lapsed Cath
olics think. Their minds, too, are
filled with Christian truths that
rub elbows with pagan fallacies.
Our whole society today has the
psychology of the fallen-away
Catholic. in which there are
sound moral beliefs cut off from
the religious system that gives
them a logical support. The poll
sters ought to study 1t.

FATHER CARNEY

This is the first OF three or.
ticles which Father Carney Is
writing as guest eolumnisf" OF
Father Higgins. on the svblsef
OF adult education with special
emphasis on Catholic social
teaching an especially timely
subject in view OF the Holy Faith
er's recent slloeUtion on adult
education. Father Carney Is di.
rector OF what is widely reeos-
nired as one OF the most suee-
essfui experiments In this field
in the United States.
What Is Adult Education?
Adult education obviously means
the training OF adults. This simple
definition however, gives us very
little understanding of the real
nature of adult education or of its
Importance in contemporary So
ciety. A few historical and edu-
cational observations relative TO
adult education are imperative
from the outset If we are TO APP
preciate fully the significance of
the adult education movement.
First of all, American people
long age-and some even to the
assumed that when any
one left the formal surroundings
of the classroom. whether he did
so in the sixth grade or in the
graduate school, his period of sys-
tematlc instruction was over. The
adult education movement is a
strong protest against this asSump-
tion. We have come 10 realize that
education is lifelong process
and most essential for the pro
motion OF the common welfare. IL
was once our hope that If all young
America could be educated, the
destiny al our democratic nation
would be made secure. Now the
reality of history has convinced
us that our people must learn new
facts and insights as long as they
live.

parent that it is a threat to oul

Our Tests of a Social Order

in a complacent unchangeability
in world where they are constant
ly confronted by the problem of
change. An adult who ceases after
youth to unlearn and relesrn his
facts and reconsider his opinions
is like a blindfolded person walk
ing into familiar room where
someone has moved the furniture.
Furthermore, such person can
readily become menace in hu-
man society. The danger attend
ami upon an uneducated and poor
ly informed adult population has
suddenly been made clear TO us.
and the adult education movement
is ready remedy of a preventive
nature against such grave calam-
ity.
Secondly. the adult education
movement is protest against the
assumption that adults cannot
learn or have only decreased
learning power. After an exhaust
i've examination of psychological
data and specifically devised ex-
periments. educational psycholog-
lists announced an important con-
clusion relative 10 the ability of
adults TO learn. In general no
adult should restrain himself from
trying to learn anything because of
belief or fear that he is too old

not learn. therefore, il was not a
fault of nature, but rather due 10
the factors of a subjective nature
within the adult, or TO environ
mental influences operative in a
given culture.
Grow In Mind
II has been established once and
for all that personal and cultural
factors. not adulthood itself. are
the reasons why adults cannot
learn. Adult educational programs
today. BY helping TO overcome dis
couraging personal factors in the
adult. and by presenting organized
learning outside the formal pat
tern of the schools. is an effort di.
rected so rs to allow our people
To grow wise in mind as we'll as

In an experience of many years
which has been spread across the
nation, I've become intimately
acquainted with many leading
American industriaists; and have
been delighted to find that the
large percentage of them are men
Of strong Christian character. The
Communists and their fellow
travellers, in their frenzied efforts
to antagonize employees against
employers, constantly berate our
industrialists as men without So
cia1 consciousness, and without re-
gard for the welfare of the work
ers. This is done for the evident
purpose of helping Russia by slow
ing American production.
During Freedom Forum XIII at
Harding College, F. Gano Chance,
president of the A. B. Chance
Company and a vocal, influential
member of the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers shared the
platform with the president of the
Centralia plants IUE-CIO local.
The 104 conferees Of the forum,
representing national cross
section of business, organized Ia
Dor, the church and education,
liked what they heard from both
the induStrialiSt and the labor
leader. The thinking and attitude
of Mr. Chance are, I think fair
ly typical of the thinking and at
titude of most American indus
trialists today.
A Mans Wants
"Perhaps the best place for me
to start" he told the forum, sis

thing about my thinking, my
wants, my ideals, and my ambi-

them to ENJOY the feeling Of Sc
curity that is woven about a
secure family. I want my family
to have good health and sound
education backed by a firm belief
in Almighty God. Most of all, I
guess, I want freedom for them,
an opportunity to work, to wor-

to grow, to develop, to own, to
