F Father HeoIey

Q. What is the story behind
the name of the Miraculous
Medal?
A. The design for the medal is
said TO have been revealed to
ST. Catherine Laboure, a Sister
of Charity of ST. Vincent de
Paul. The visions of Our Lady
occurred in 1882 in the chapel of
the convent on the Rue du Bac
in Paris Although the devotion
to Our Lady connected with this
apparition and the medal likely
has brought about many mir
acleS. the name apparently is
due to the circumstances of its
origin.
@. What iods the ancient con-
nectlon bett0een pancakes and
Shrove Tuesday?
A. BY Christian tradition the
days before Lent we're especially
dedicated to being shriven and
TO pre-Lenten C el lie brations.
Shrove Tuesday takes its name
from the practice of going to
confession at this time. The
pancakes, often involved in Joy
Gus festivals and contests were
connected with the recreation
side of Shrovetide. Pancakes
became the traditional dish be-
cause of the strict fasting OBJ
served during Lent. The eggs
and fat which were not to be
used during Lent were used up.
The return to the use of eggs
after Lent is the origin of our
association of eggs with Easter
celebrations.
@. Is A. J. Cronin, author of
'Kegs Of the Kingdom?" Ca
tholic2
A Yes. Orphaned as a boy he
was adopted by his uncle, a
priest. and studied medicine at
the University of Glasgow. He
was successful as a doctor and
was admitted to membership in
the Royal College of Physicians.
While there has been some con-
troyersy about THE Keys of the
Kingdom" apparently it was
Doctor Cronin's intention to
write a stirring Catholic novel.
q. In a recent magazine orti-
Gle about chHrchmeH killed dur
tna the Spanish CiUiI War, a Ca
hol1c magazine 1rdS quoted as
saying that 'nartyrdopa is OBJ
tanned only Uhen q lite is oiUen

ptrtue." =" Dad this NOT apply to all
1927 mentioned in the article?
A. The article mentions 353
Spaniards whose cause is being
promoted. The others may or
may not have been martyrs, but
they cannot be declared so un-
til there is some definite evi-
dence that they met the condi-
tionS. To be declared a martyr

Curc-AII

An axiom ol the spiritual life that unfortunately
has suffered the same fate as so many axioms
lie. being apparent they are taken for granted
and quickly forgotten, is the which states
that pride Is The basis Of all sins At first glance
this may seem too sweeping statement. We are
inclined TO say It is no axiom at all We immcd
ately think OF all frequent and possible sins and
drawing up a roster, may look in vain for their
beginnings N pride And yet say the Fathers such
IS the case. Man has 10 deny himself more in the
admission Of pride than IN acknowledging the guilt
OF any other SIN. In owning 10 pride man denies
himself the last justification Of any sinful action
he may have committed and this is distasteful in
the extreme. for II points man out, makes him

policies which have nothing to
do with religion but everything
TO do with the anti-Soviet and
anti-socialiSt campaign of the
Vatican"
This Soviet agent does not
want the American workers to
remain awake to the fact that
the persecution of the Catholic
Church and the destruction Of
free trade unions have gone
hand in hand in every Soviet
ruled land.
US. Standard of Living
As a spokesman for that Slave
Power which has imprisoned the
trade unions in every Soviet
dominated country and which
has made the workers the slaves
oil the bureaucracy, Perlo is in
strange position when he
writes: There is a glaring con
traSt between the immense pro-
ductive capacity of American
industry and agriculture and the
meager living standard of most
American workers"
The reply to that is scarcely
the common one of citing the
American standard of living
alone. With the huge corpora
tions which have now developed
out of American mass produc-
ton, il is surprising that there
have been SO few projects Tor
profit sharing. Frank Winn.
director of public relations of
the United Automobile Workers,
seems to be right when he says:
"0n the whole, We have found
that industrial management Is
far more opposed to profit Shar-
ing plans as such than the union
is
This would not be bad hour
for changing that state of affairs.
And those who wish to lend their
aid in that direction might con
suit the Council of Profit Shaf-
ing Industries, with officers al

more than wise strategy for

ed persecution patiently, with
out resistance. No doubt a great
many we're killed under circum-
stances which makes it impos-
sible to find out much of their
attitude or any details connected
with their death.
@. Where is the totUn of Ndz.
areth? About horU MANY people
ttUed there at the time of Christ?
A. Nazareth is situated in
hollow plateau between the
hills of Lebanon in lower Cali
lee. At the present time il has
. population of approximately
10000. Apparently at the time
of c Christ it was very much
smaller. There is no mention of
Nazareth in the Old Testament,
IN Flavius JoSephus or in the
Talmud. In the Gospels it is
referred to as insignificant: Can
anything good come out of Nag
areth?" John 1:46) At that
time 1t was likely confined to
the eastern end of the present
town, overlooking the valley of
Esdraaelon. 1t is about 484 feet
above sea level and has an
average temperature of 81 de.
grees throughout the year.
Q, When did n1on1Ster5es be.
gan to be organized? What tcere
the different kinds IN the edrLy
Church?
A. 1t might be remarked that
the monasteries were not organs
zed. They grew from the prac-
tice of Christians who withdrew
from the world TO devote their
lives to God. The eremitical
(hermits) monasticism tradi-
tionaily dates from st. Anthony
who became the center of atten.
ton after twenty years of asceti-
cal living. In 305 AID. a group
of hermits gathered about the
saint in the earliest Christian
monasticism. About 318 st.
PachomiuS developed cenobiti.
cal monasticism (family) in
lower Egypt, introducing the
common life of the monks. This
form soon became the accepted
one in Western monasticiSm,
which is largely based on the
rule of St Benedict, developed
in the sixth century.
O. Who tOdS st. Monica?
A. She was the mother of st.
Augustine. Her husband was a
pagan and she is noted for her
patience with him and with her
son who wandered through many
by-pathS before he was baptized.
ST AuguStine'S Confessions
gives beautiful account of his
life and conversion and his love
and gratitude for his sanity
mother. She died shortly after
his conversion in 387 AID.

print to safeguard this precious
freedom against undue inter
ference on the part of govern
ment.
Freedom of the press in the
above sense of the word-the
freedom of publishers to deter
mine editorial policy free from
unconstitutional government in
reference - has been complete
ly abolished in many countries
OF the world and radically cur
tailed in many others. In the
United States, on the other hand,
il is well protected by the First
Amendment to the Constitution
and is Fundamentally supported
by the overwhelming majority
of American citizens. For this we
have reason TO be very grateful.
Some members of the Fourth
Estate are dissatisfied, however,
with this, the traditional deflni-
ton of freedom of the press. and
are now in the process of eX-
panding the definition TO suit
their own purposes. They prefer
a definition which, in effect,
would confer upon newspapers
and magazines privileged legal
status not only in the field of
editorial policy but also in the
field of business and. more spe-
officially, in the field of labor
management relations.
FaliscioUs Viewpoint
Arthur krock of the Ne1C
York Times, one of the most in
fluential reporters and commen-
tatorS in the United States, is
representative spokesman for
this fallacious point of view.
Speaking at Princeton Universe
ty on January 8. Mr.. krock de-
clared, on his own authority and
not as a representative of the
Times, that freedom of the press
is IN greater peril from unions
than from government.
Il see no direct threat from
government he declared. and
no indirect one except in in
stances where an editor or his
associates lack the courage requi-
site to their calling" But as an
example of the power of con.
eerted action by organized labor
to abridge freedom of the press,

longing to other unions refused
TO cross the picket lines set up
by the striking photoengraverS
THE struck newspapers ceased

and thus organized labor wai
able to do what government ii
forbidden to do by the Constitu,
ton"
Mr.. Krock was saying, in el
feet, that any union which calk
a successful strike against 1
newspaper and manages to shut
it down for the duration of the
controversy is guilty of vioIat
ing freedom of the press. ThG
implication is that unions should
therefore be prohibited from ex
ercising the right to strike
against newspaper.
The Wall Street Journal in ar
editorial which was publishes
before Mr.. Krock delivered his
address at Princeton, referred to
this as = tortuous definition of
freedom of the press, so tortu-
Gus in fact, as to be rather friv.
olous." Worse than that, as the
Wall Street Journal continues, il
is a highly dangerous concept,
which, if it we're to be adopted
in practice, it would inevitably
undermine freedom of the press
instead of protecting it.
II unions were TO be prohibited
from striking against a news
paper, the rights of their men,
bers would have TO be protected
by an outside agency, which
agency would naturally be an
instrument of government. The
net result of this arrangement,
as the Wall Street Journal points
out, would be a lessening, rather
than an increase, of editorial
freedom. For the government,
while conStitutionally forbidden
to interfere directly with free
dom of the press, could conceiv-
ably get around the First Amend
ment indirectly by the use of
economic sanctions against re-
calcitrant editors and publishers.
Newspaper strikes are admit
tedly great inconvenience to
the public, but sometimes they
may be necessary TO protect the
rights of the workers involved.
Whether or not the recent strike
in New York was necessary is,
of course, debatable question.
We like to think, however, that
even Mr.. krock would be willing
TO admit, on second thought, that
compulsory arbitration, for the
reasons suggested by the Wall
Street Journal, is the worst of
the several alternative solutions
to labor-management problems
In the newspaper industry.
