Another is largeness. God never

are many disadvantages nth the
constant burden Of caring for
so many making tt impossible 10
spend much time tp1th any of the

A. While there is no Catholic
position in regard to the size of
families we can say that the
Christian tradition favors large
families. There can be no arti-
fetal limiting of families and the
positive approach TO marriage
calls for cooperating with God in
bringing new life into the world.
Every child in Catholic family
means an additional child of
God and possible saint. There are
great disadvantages in a small
family, especially when the chill
dren grow up. Children of such
families may have some advan-
tages but they miss many of the
educational opportunities of ad-
Jusment required in a large fam
lily. Ii parents of large family

A. No. 1t would be rash for a
Catholic to presume TO speak out
against such q commonly-accept

XIV stated the principle: :" !.
the assent OF Catholic Faith to
revelations thus approved is not
only not obligatory but not pos

ture on the subject to convince
any but the most stubborn scep-
tic of Our Lsdy's appearance at
Fatima and her message calling
for prayer and penance. Such
private revelations and appari-
tions, however. do not become
matters of Catholic Faith. The

BY Their Fruits

A common error in reading any book OF his
tory is TO isolate the people and situations of one
particular time from the people and situations of
today. This error can have no most costly effect
than when the history OF Christ and the people
and situations OF His time are viewed as being
completely remote and having nothing to do with
the people and situations OF today Even If II were
true. in secular history that thoae Of one age had
nothing IN common with those OF a different and
supposedly more advanced period vet the mes
sage of the Gospels would still be directed 10 US
because God Is their Author and lie came to teach
not only the immediate citizeny OF Central Pal
estlne but rather all men bf all times, In His
Church, He continues 10 speak and teael and His
message is just as pointed and instant as IT was

Thus in the Gospels, Christ is speaking di-
recty to us and HIS words apply Just as much to

A Time For RededicatiOn

The Marian Year is now half over and this
would seem convenient time to rededicate our
selves to the various practices and spiritual
cses that mark participation in this great year
of concerted prayer and devotion to Blessed
Mother.
II might just be that we have LEI ourselves drift
from the feryent practices and aims that slgnaled
our answer to the Holy Fathers call to Christendom
to pay special homage and devotion during the
year 1854 TO the Mother of God. In this regard
it is significant that today Friday July is, is the
feast of Our Lady OF Mt Carmel, q wonderful
occasion on which to Marian Year in
tentions and devotions
known as the Feast of tie Scapular" this
particular Marian day brings home again Our Ladys
promised socitude and protection for those who
love her. If we not already enrolled IN Our
Iady's scapular nov would be most appropriate
time to rededicate ourselves to Mary and to begin
TO wear her seapusr sign Of our devotion
and 10 gain the added graces and protection of
Our Blessed Mother which she has promised to
those who confidently and devotedy wear her
emblem.
A pous and lasting tradition in the Church has
it that this scapular vas given by the Blessed Virgin
TO st. Simon Stock In a vision. In presenting 10
him the scapuiar il is recorded that Mary said
Take beloved this scapulsr on thy order
badge of my confraternity and for thee and all
Carnelltes special sign of grace WhoeUer dies ~
this garment mil not suffer everlasting FIRE II IS
the sign OF sdtpot,on, safeguard N dangers, a
pledge Of peace and Of the covenant."
Mary has asked us all to dedicate ourselves TO
her Immaculate heart most simple and fitting way
of doing this is by wearing the brown Carmelite
scapular and trying TO fulfill in lives the wishes
Of our Blessed Mother.
Mary's scapular is not an amulet or charm. There
Is no magic" connected with IT, The seapuIar is
merely the official sign badge indicating that
the person wearing II has dedicated himself in a
special way to the Blessed Virgin and that she in
turn, has promised to honor this dedication to her
by protecting and guiding the wearer 10 the end
Of his days.
The true devotion 10 Blessed Iother shown
b. the confident wearing OF the scspuar guarantees
the signal pledge Of her constant protection dur

ing reward IN the life to come

Within a space of a couple of
days Congressional leaders said
they would lead fight to with

we would use our veto, if nee

parts OF the country that Ameri-
