It's Time To Mail

One Of the minor problems left IN every house
hold after Christmss along with taking down the
Christmas tree and finding place to put the chil-
drens TOYS is that of what should be done With
the piles NJ Christmas cards on TOP Of the mantle
and covering the piano
Many Of the cards are real production numbers

Missions by letting them have your old Christmas

especially as We have funds.
I'VE have found that by making over greeting
cards especially those of Christmas) We can earn
quite bit. In fact, for first venture we have
made new Tabernacle for Our Lord from the sale
of these cards."
May God bless you richly in all the good work
you do. and if be His Will that you add this bit
TO it, we shall count you among our benefactors."
The missionaries state that the cards may be
sent by ordinary parcel post if they we'll wrap

pany. Generally speaking, so far
as strict obligation is concerned
it is the duty of the insurance
company representative TO issue

He is dealing with the money of

policies or pay off without regard

G. What is Modernism?
A. Described by Blessed Plus
X as "Synthesis of all heresies"
1t denies the divinity of Christ
and rejects the authority Of His
Church. 1t would destroy the OBJ
jective validity of religious be-
lief, making it the product of
man, evolving from the human
soul not from Gods revelation. It
was particularly dangerous be-
cause it used Catholic terms to
express new and false ideas. II
was condemned in the encyclicai
"Pascendi" of 1907
Q. Wig cannot Catholics be
Rotarians?
A. There is no restriction upon
Catholic laymen in this matter.
Because of tendency to relig-
ious indifferentism lie. the as
sumption that there is no one
true religion and that one is as
good as another) it was submitted
to the Consistorial Congregation
in 1929. Their answer was that it
was not expedient for PRIESTS
to join Rotary. This same answer
was made stronger when the
question came up again in 1851.
On January II, 1851, the Sacred
Congregation of the Holy Office
issued a decree approved by
Pope Plus XII forbidding clerics
to join Rotary. Since priests are
official representatives of the
Church it is not fitting that they
be members of an organization
which tends in many parts of
the world certainly not in every
community to overemphasize hui
manitarianism. Christianity is
not to be melted down in the
name of brotherhood. Rotary In
ternational is not condemned, but
priests must be clearly men of
God without doubt or compro-
mise.

this name. A French Cistercian
monk who became Archbishop Of
Gourges 0100 ADJ has a feast

The Case Of

" Ieopardlzlng the integrity of

the world to the loss of Yugoslav
support IN the containment of
Sovietism.
We can all be proud of the
vigorous and very energetic
way in which our Brit.
ish co-reltgionIsts have reacted to
this ignoble bit Of chicanery. The
British press for weeks past has
been insisting that every effort
be made to make it perfectly
clear, both to the London gov.
ernment and to Tito, that his pro-
lected visit in Marcl. is an affront

words OF Cardinal Griffin, IAN

Alert Minority Says, me saIes
The Catholics IN Britain do not
propose to employ anything IN
the way of violence against Tito
should he conle-after all. ca.
thoEcs are not Communists to
whom rioting is a form of per-
suasion But one of the most con-
certed efforts of recent times is
being made to make It perfectly
clear to the British government
and to the Yugoslav regime that
Tito IS distinctly persona non
grata, that 1t is quite impossible
to receive him in any guise other
than that of = full-fledged per-
secutor whose aim is the de-
struction of the Faith in Yugo-
slavia. No amount of expediency
or of defense of the West can
possibly offset this very simple
fact.

test is paying dividends is APP

act the visit among Catholics in

WASHINGTON - The 1892
Christmas Message of His Holl-
ness Pope Plus XII had an extra
ordinary timeliness.
1t came during lull in The
tense international drama. The
actors, seemingly, were dawdling
on the stage, awaiting the out
come of something taking place
in the wings The interruption is
the Inauguration of new Gov
ernment in the United States,
which the Western Powers await
for one reason, and the Iron Cur
tain countries for another.
In such an atmosphere the
Pope calmly, compassionately
and sometimes poignantly re
minded the world that it is in 2
desperate condition, He spoke of
the "sorrowful chorus Of pray
ers and pleas for help" rising
from every part of the world"
and which he said trends Our
soul for All the distress and tears
II reveals "
The world, Of course, was not
altogether unconscious Of this
fact though some portions Of
humanity have 2 much keener
appreciation of II than do others
But II did not need to be told. as
the Holy Father told IT, that II
IS rushing along the wrong road

There is one possibility against
which people may need to be
warned, some students of Papal
documents believe. That is that
some may seek TO read into the
Pope'S words meanings which are
not there. but which they them
selves want to hear and use.
For example, ii is pointed out,
the Pope does not condemn mech
anization and large production
themselves. He says mankind
has right to be proud Of pres
entday inventions, production
and organization. What he does
caution against is that mankind
may put its hope for all good
things in ever greater mechaniza-

INQUIRY CORNER

@. What is meant by good
a07ll s0hsch a0e must haze 10
haze peace, according to the
Christmas song of the angels?
A. Good will means human
free choice following the proper
goal, most clearly taught by God
the Father through Jesus Christ
and His Church. Il does, not
mean the vague emotionalism of
some religious reactions. which
may be vague, mysterious and
temporary. Any man by a few
moments thought can tell wheth-
er he has good will. Let him ex-
anime his conscience, check on
his observance of the Ten Com
mandments. If our will is good
our actions will be good. The
Ten Commandments express the
minimum of goodness demanded
for good will. It is brought about
by building up good habits or
virtues, by avoiding bad habits,
by prayer, the sacraments and all
the helps that God provides.
@. Is it true that the Catholic
Church teaches that "Outside the
Church there is no SdIUdtion?"
A. Yes. The interpretation Of
this ancient Catholic teaching,
based upon the words of Christ,
has caused great deal of mis-
understanding. The Catechism
states it briefly: when we say
Outside the Church there is no
salvation we mean that those
who through their own grave
fault do not know that the Ca
tholic Church is the true Church.
or. knowing it, refuse to join it,
cannot be saved" II does not
mean that everyone who is not
Catholic Ii, e a member of the
Roman Catholic church, will be
condemned. II does mean, how
ever, that no one can be saved
unless he belong in some manner
to the Catholic Church either
actually or in desire lie. he
would he a Catholic if he knew it
to be Gods wilD. See Matthew

Unless you have conspired with

inE features Of recent interna-
tional politics. The increased
American aid to the Belgrade
regime, the visit of Foreign Sec

all signs Of repetition Of the

Tito Annoyed
The serene and noble response
of the Cardinal-designate to dues-
tions regarding a visit to Rome
leaves no doubt of the gr1mness
of the persecution in Yugoslavia.

their reaction to the honor be

Yugoslav regime is every whit
as saneuinary in its anti-religious
sentiments as the Soviet Union
The use of blackmail on the
part of Tito is quite in line with
his conduct to date-a conduct
which our government and the
British have been CLOSING over
as effectively as possible. Any
support of the Archbishop or ex-
preston on his behalf will be

military arrangements with the
