The Hope For 1853

The new year has begun. What it holds in store
W fortunately unknown. Its history will however,
he linked with the year just ended For what has
occurred during 1882 will in no small measure be
the stage setting for the coming twelve months.
Freedom from fear was not OF the character
stics predominating the world Of 1852 Most Of
that fear found in nations and people domin-
ated by Soviet power The world was not free of
war though the lone.fesred global war did not
terIalize Russia and her satellites continued to
build up power not only by industrial production
and by the training of military force, but principally
BY ruthless destruction of all potential opposition
in The areas controlled by them. In The West the
United States continued TO lead the opposition to
Communist block of powers, with not little
cess There definite signs of the increasing
worldwide unpopuarty OF Communism and what ii
stands for.
All Of this will have much TO do with what 1883
will be People continue to fear lest some interna-
tional blunder may bring total And this fear is
made all the more dreadful by thoughts of the nys-
teries and potentiaties of what is being called
an atomic age" People have terrifying thoughts
of what new methods of warfare can do to helpless
multitudeS of people. No one is safe, and wholesale
destruction can come almost without notice The
sneak attack Pearl Harbor which opened World
War II is thought of by some as only minor Incl
dent compared TO what an atomic could be like
from It's very inception.

While the blood of countless martyrs for tho
faith gives promise of the future Towering of the
Church, the greatest tragedy of all continues TO be
witnessed IN the Severng OF millions of little chill
dren from union with their Church and the consc
quent loss OF their faith The struggle between the
Soviet East and the Christian civilization of the
West will continue constant during 1853 The "a.
tholie Church will stand fearless against The in
creasine attacks Of atheisc communism. That the
worldwide opposing forces of 1882 will moi break
into complete warfare is the hope for 1883 Perhaps
continuing determination in our efforts against
Communism, coupled with more fervent prayer and
obedience 10 the law Of God will bring noticeable
swing away from the threat of glohal conflict and
definite progress toward lasting peace.

cyclicals The temptation to do so
is admittedly very great.
Ropke, a non-C atholic scholar
with an international reputation
in the field of economics and po-
lltical science, goes out of his
way in almost all his writings
TO pay tribute to the encyclical
point of view on social recon
struction. But IN all sincerity
and with the very best of inten-
tions, he misinterprets Qusdra-
gesimo Ammo on the subject of
the so-called Industry Council
Plan. The Industry Council Plan,
he says, is "a very unfortunate
idea" identical, in practice if not
in theory, with collectiylsm.
The occasion for returning to
this subject is the publication
of another article by Ropke
which again misinterprets the
teaching of Quadragesimo Ammo
on the subject of the Industry
Council Plan. In this recent ar
ticle, Liberalism and Christian
ity," Ropke leaves the impress
sion-as he did in his book
that Catholic social teaching is
practically identical with his
own philosophy of neo-liberal-
ism. In that philosophy, however,
there is no room whatsoever for
the Industry Council Plan of
Quadragesimo Ammo in the sense
that this program has been in

What Is A Cib0Tiun1
As Used In Mass?

A. Only mortal sins deliberately
concealed make q confession bad.
The grace of the sacrament cleans
es our souls If we are sorry and
confess our sins honestly. Some
times we see the malice of sins
confessed years before in an made
quate way or not at all-because
we did not realize. They should be
mentioned as should those we
have forgotten, if they are mortal
sins. If venial sins are involved
they do not have to be mentioned,
but it is always wise to use the
power of the sacraments to give
grace and strength to our soul and
remove temporal punishment due
to sin. A sin that has been for
gotten should be mentioned in the
next regular confession, but the
person may go to Holy Commun-
ion meanwhile.
Q. | haze friend who left the
Church years ago because of an
insult from priest? Wig are not
priests more like the Apostles?
A. Assuming that your friend is
stating the case fairly it is sad that
some priest failed in that instance.
The priests fault did not and does
not excuse any Catholics departure
from God or His Church. God chose
to save men through men as we
see from the weaknesses of st.
Peter and other Apostles leg.
doubling Thomas). st. John Chryso-
stom gave the rule for Catholics in
the fourth century and it still
holds: 'He who has father, what
ever faults he has, conceals them
all And if this be said of our
natural fathers, how much more
of our spiritual fathers" The priest
is man taken from among men
and endowed with powers for the
glory of God and the salvation of
souls. Catholics turn to the priest
for the spiritual teaching, guidance
and grsces he gives, regardless of
his personal failings.
O. What are the marks of the
Church" and tChdt do they prope?
A. The chief marks of the Church
are four: it is one, holy, catholic
or universal and apostolic. BY
marks" we mean evidence avail
able to all men by which they can
recognize the genuine Church
established by Christ. Since it was
to be a city seated upon noun
tain" Mattthew 5:14) there would
certainly be clear signs by which
men could distinguish it from 9TH
ers. Sacred Scripture describes il
as having these four basic creden-
tials, and the marks themselves
are an indication of the hand of
God leg. the unity of the Church
through these many centuries).

the effects of the so-called ECO

Europe.
In recent number, the pop

ticle dealing with the sense of
Illustration among the French
over the persistent effort on the
part of the United States to un-
dermine the stability and solidar-
ity OF the various European pos
sessions or overseas territories.
The article was entitled What
Hitler Failed To Do"-that is to
say, even Hitler at his most vio-
lent moments never wavered in
his assertion that the destruc-
tion of the British empire would
be an unmitigated disaster. Since
l945 the United States and 9th
ers have devoted no small part
of their energies 10 the steady
breaking down of the British
system, as well as the French
and the Dutch.
For good or evil, most Euro
peans still look upon their
achievements in Africa and Asia
as not entirely misguided or
catastrophe. Colonialism has
never had the same bad odor
that ii has in this country. Nor
is the opposite OF colonialism al
ways conceived as complete in
dependence, especially when
such independence is as unten-
able and absurd as it is in Libys
or Eritrea. The Dutch we're irste
beyond all expression during the
Indonesian crisis because of the
lack of support and understand
ing from this side of the water.
The French are equally so dur
ing the present Tunisisn and Al
gerian difficulties. This resent
ment springs from various sourc-
eS.
JuridiesllY Sound
In the first place, France feels
quite strongly that there is pre-
cious little understanding of its
thesis either in American cir
cles or in the United Nations. Al
geria and Tunis are part Of
France. It would be as illogical
to discuss this problem m an

international gathering as for a
matter concerning Hawaii or
Alaska to be presented to the
Security Council or General AS
sembly The French position is
juridically sound and persistent
effort to drag the matter into
the open through international
debate is a violation of the very
plain facts of the case.
The French, perhaps, under
estimate the purely moral side
of the thing and by refusing to
discuss it, assume that a solution
has somehow been advanced. But
the major concern is the appar-
ent illusion of the United States
that the larger the number of
weak, insolvent nations created,
the firmer the guarantee for
peace becomes. The argument
that q people whose national
aspiration is recognized will
become a bulwark of strength
in the fight to contain Sovietism
does not appeal very strongly
to the French. Their cynicism
and hardheadedness on this and
other matters make it difficult
for them to accept any such
naive judgment.
Reaction Not AS Anticipated
The championing of national
sovereignty for everyone that
expresses a desire for it-from
Hottentots to Eskimos - as a
sound basis for the creation of
an effective international COM
munity, is a principle about
which the very greatest doubt
may reasonably exist. The Unit
ed States went down the line for
Indonesia, against the Neither
lands and in the teeth of some
fairly obvious realities. Indo-
neSian reaction has been far
from the fulsome one anticipat-
ed. Proposed military arrange
ments with the Jakarta govern
ment have run into very serious
difficulties and economic under
standing has been met by sus-
picious and hostile attitude in
IndoneSia.
No one went further out on
the proverbial limb than the
United States to exert pressure
on Britain to grant full sover-
eighty to India. Nehru's India
can hardly be classified today as
one of the more ardent admirers
of the United States and its pol
icy.
In some curious manner this
zeal for defending the right to
independence of the dispossessed
does not seem to pay off in the
proper kind of dividends. And
the French anticipate that If by
chance Morocco and the other
African territories should 90 the
way of Indonesia and Eritrea,
the consequences would be very
much the same-a total lack of
gratitude or understanding for
what had been done to make
their existence possible.

Q. What is a ciboriunl?

A. From the Greek word for cup,
it refers to the vessel which con-
tains the small Hosts used for the
Communion of the faithful at
Mass. 1t is like the chalice, but the
bowl usually is larger and has a
cover. The materials are gold, sill
yer or baser metals, but the inter-
ior must be gold
@. HesD many Mapt ,Cere there
the first Epiphany?
A. There is nothing definite
about the country of origin, the
number or the names of the Magi.
Mainly because of the three gifts
there is a strong ancient tradition
that there were three. In the West
ern Church there is also tradi-
ton that they were Persians and
that their names were Gaspar, Mel
chior and Balthasar. The Gospels
leave these points open to legend,
until scholars can determine them
more definitely.
Q. What are the English ,0ords
of the Benedtction hymnS7 Are
there any irdulgenceS attached TO
it7
A. There is an indulgence of
five years each time and a plenary
indulgence once a month if the
20 Salutaris" is recited daily. The
same is available for the "Tantum
Ergo" with the versicle and prayer.
English translations of these hymns
are printed in most Catholic
prayer-books, but one translation
of the 20 Salutaris" runs as fol-
lows: 20 Saving Victim, opening
wide the gate of heaven to man be-
low! Our foes press on from every
side; Thine aid supply, Thy
strength bestoW. To Thy great
Name be endless praise, Immortal
Godhead. One in Threel Oh, grant
us endless length of days, in our
true native land with Thee. Amen"
@. What are the SINS that cry
to hedUen for Uengednce"?
A. They are sins which on ac-
count of their manifest and special
malice call for special punishment
from God They are generally list
ed as wilful murder, oppression of
the poor. the sin of Sodom and
defrsuding laborers of their wages.
When Cain killed Abel, 1.-The voice
of thy brothers blood crieth to Me
from the earth" said God to him.
Genesis 4:10. The oppression of
the poor helpless Israelites in
Egypt was sin that cried to Heav-
en- Exodus 80. To keep back the
wages of the needy deuteronomy

5:4) calls for Gods punishment,
and we read of the drastic punish
ment of the people of Sodom for
their unnatural sins Genesis

Communist propaganda. When
this occurs, difficulties arise
from two directions. u trade
union leaders who fall into this
Red trap and denounce the Smith
and McCarran Security Acts as
intruding in some way or other
upon the rights of labor; and p
those who view any proposals
for the amendment of the Taft
Hartley Act as being Commun-
ist-inspired.
Both conceptions are utterly
wrong. If persisted in they can
only help the Stalinites. Any
study of Marxist-Leninist tactics
leads to sharp distinction be
ing made between the Commun-
list line, those items which the
Kremlin wishes adopted for its
own purposes. and those reforms
which the Communists take up
in order to screen their illegal
moves toward armed insurrec-
tion. There is no great problem
involved here, all that is re-
quired is a careful study in a
critical and analytical way of
Marxism-Leninism.
There is a wide area of discus
sion within the United States
for such subjects as the propos-
ed amendments TO the Taft-Hart-
ley Law which have nothing TO
do with Communism. There may
be differences of opinion in re-
gard to the validity of some of
these proposals, but they are
American differences of opinion.

this danger NAV be overlooked
in a mood of complacency. Re-
ports to the general press from
Vienna present the December
world peace congress" of the
"partisans for peace" as bringing
forward, in the main, the same
old faces. And there has been
tendency to present it as some
thing which did not come up to
Stalinite advance predictions.

ports were to throw us off guard.

is given to Soviet whisperings
in Europe that the United States
is "war-mongering" All of this
was designed to press European
public opinion into insisting up
on EastWest trade.
Now more than ever, we must
look sharp to what the Soviet
fifth columns are proposing.
Among those things which chal-
lenge our attention is the cur
rent Communist effort TO make
the Red cause synonymous with
that of labor. II is growing
Stalinite custom to link attacks
upon the Taft-Hartley Act,
which has to do with labor-man-
agement relations, with fusil-
lade against the Smith Act and
the McCarran Internal Security
Act, which aim at ending sub
version. BY this means the Stain
ties hope to prove that the in
terests of labor and of Moscow's
agents are the same They hope
thereby to get the idea accepted
that any move against subversion
is a move against the free labor
movement. In a lengthy state

Drama In Final Quarter.
1t really was for the final quar-
ter that Maryland saved it's de-
fensive stuff. A long pass, Starr
to Bill Oliver, was good to the 13,
and this time Boxold prevented a
score with a noteworthy tackle.
A bit later. Alabama moved from
its % to a first down on the Z.
After three plays got the Tide
to only the 3, Starr missed with
a fourth-down pass.
The best was saved, appropri-
ately, for the last. Walker, kick
ing for the first time, sent a
short, high punt which 'Bama
put into play on Maryland's So.
The Tide, on pass from Starr
to Luna, picked up a first down
on the Terrapin 2-yard line.
Then, as if daring 'Bama to
move, Maryland's line was mere
ly wonderful. Luna, Fullback Bill
Stone and Halfback Corky Tharp
hit Morgan, Jones & Co. in sue
cession for no gain. On fourth
down Stone tried again. fell
short by a YARD. and Maryland
took over and kicked out.

Maryland supporters, many

81-yard dash and FELTON, added
the first Of three extra points.
Luna couldn't win, no matter
where he punted. On his next
effort he kicked into the end zone
and in six plays Maryland made
it 14-0. The payof came when
Walker got behind Quarterback
Albert Elmore, took Faloney's
pass on the IA, and sprinted un-
touched for the score.
Although no roughness pen
alties were called. it was hard
game and when Faloney was
sidelined the quarterback burden
fell on Boxold. There was a
noticeable lack of spark due to
Bernie's absence, both on offense
and defense; and all of Mary

Tatum put his No. 2 team in
the game to start the second
quarter. This outfit had a scor-
ing chance from the 33 but when

was short with a 40-yard field
goal attempt.
In all fairness to Boxold, who
was in a tough spot when he was
replacing Faloney. he threw a
