Church and the Bishops for the
faithful entrusted TO them publish
on matters within the natural law,
the faithful must not invoke that
saying. which is wont to be employ
ed with respect to the opinions of
indlvlduals-'the strength of the
authority is no more than the
strength of the arguments. Hence,
even though to someone certain
declarations of the Church may
not seem proved by arguments put
forward, his obligation to obey still
remains"
Pope Plus recalled the state
nnent made by Pope ST. Plus X
that Whatever "a Christian man
may do. even in the affairs OF
this world, he may not ignore
the supernatural, nay he must
direct all 10 the highest good as
TO his last end. in accordance
with fhe dictates Of Christian
wisdom; bot all his actions, in
50 far as they are morally good
or evil, that is, agree with, or
are in opposition 10, diVin. and
natural law, are subject TO the
Judgment and authority Of the
Church."
The Holy Father recalled that in
applying this principle to the so
cial sphere. Pope ST. Plus X had
said:
The social question and the con
troversies underlying that question
are not merely Of an economic
nature, and consequently such as
can be settled while the Church S
authority is ignored, since. on the
contrary. it is most certain that il

Offered by Archbishop Cushing in
the Cathedral OF the Holy Cross.
Archbishop Albert G. Meyer of
Milwaukee gave the sermon
Archbishop Meyer told the con-
gregation that as members of the
meow they have the opportunity,
as well as the obligation, TO help
restore the family to its rightfuI
dignity and its full vigor as the
basic cell of the social organism.
He added that to do this, they
must begin by developing to the
fullest possible extent the divine
idea of woman's dignity which is
elimaxed in the figure of Our Lady.
Al the session in Mechanics
Hall, Archbishop Cushing told his
audience: ~ am speaking TO the
average women present, not the
ideal woman. AS q matter of fact.
there probably isn't an ideal
woman. The difference between
the two is real and important.
The average woman has ons
great advantage over the ideal
SIZE actually exists" the Arch
bishop remarked.
Addressing himself to this "av-
erage woman" Archbishop Cush-
ing appealed to her spiritua. sense
and her apostolic power because
she is at the controls of history
itself in the present crisis of our
age"
From the time of temptation in
the garden of paradise, almost ev-
cry age has had its crisis, the Arch
bishop declared. Christian history
has seen many crises and IN most
of them woman vas at, or close

Their grim, implacable oppoSi-
ton to any form Of religion is re-
flected in a handbook for anti
religious propagandists which is
not for export and which utterly
contradicts some of the tolerant"
statements on religion which the

ton.
This handbook is called mo. "a
Bloknot Agitatora' tAgitators'
Notebook No. pa. 1t was designed
to help atheistic propagandists who
are now conducting an about cam
paign against religious "supersti-
tion" in the Soviet territories, espe-
cially among the young people
Here is what Bloknot Agitstora
says:
An increasing number of peo-
pie are convinced that religion
does not interfere with the build
ing Of communism, that it stands
apart from communal lie, that it
is occupied with its own heavenly
affairs and does no harm to be-
levers.
There are people who quite Sc
riously believe that religion and
communism do not contradict one
another. There are even some com
rades who misguidedly believe that
freedom of conscience means free
dom to follow a religious cult.
Such people fail TO under.
stand The attitude of the Com
munist Party, which regards re-
Iision as the ideologY Of the
hourgeoisie, which must be extir-
psted."
Bloknot Agitatora is full of ad-
vice on how to approach the be-
lever. He is not to be scolded,
Knocked or derided. He must be
talked to patiently and understand
ingly. 1t says:

former cowed, unreSisting slave of
God who blindly follows his shep-
herds Years of Soviet rule have

Up to Oct. 27 the Vietminh used

is still under the pressure of the
past. The religious man is attracted
toward what is new, but the relics
of the past bind him and pre-
vent him from marching forward"
Stripped or their communist
verbisse, these and familiar pas
sages from the handbook mean
simply this: THE young Soviet
citizen has learned Marxist dia-
leetics and now applies them TO
enharrass atheist propagandisfs.
He accepts The economic system
of communism - he knows no >
other - but he does not accept
the msferialisf doctrine as the
answer for his spiritual prob
lens.
This new mental independence
is one of the most serious concerns
of the Kremlin today.
Systematic Propaganda
1T must be realized" says Biloxi
not Agitatora, "that the destruct-
ion of a religious outlook is a com
plicated and lengthy process. 1t is
to convert a believer
into non-believer by means of
one or two talks. Systematic prop
aganda is necessary, a kind of
propaganda which, drop by drop,
will form in people goddess, sci
entific outlook"
The handbook insists that cit is
no use asserting that religion is
harmful, that it serves the exploit
ers, or that it is a drug, without
proving, explaining, convincing y
How hard some of the atheistic lee
turers are finding their task is dis
closed in the comment:
Frequently speakers are inter-
rupted by remarks in defense of re-
ligion. On such occasions the agi-
tator must be prepared for such
remarks and patiently, but insist
emily, explain in q restrained man
ner that the believer has a mistak-
en- attitude Questions from lis
teners must be studied and expert
enced anti-religionists consulted
about them"

Social questions, the licltness of
war and the totslitarian State we're
among several fields the Pope cited
as examples of the Churchs CON
cern with moral aspects of temper
al problems.
The Pontiff also warned against
false idea Of the priesthood of
the laity" which asserts that the
laity can offer the Sacrifice of the
Mass.
These pronouncements by the
Pope became known here with the
release OF his 5.000-W0rd address
made to some $50 Cardinals, Arch
bishops and Bishops at the end Of
the international Marian Congress
in Rome.
The long. doctrinal discourse was
in effect q continuation Of an ad-
dress the Pontiff had made last
May to some $50 Cardinals, Arch
bishops and Bishops after the can
6nization of st. Plus X. At that
time the Pope said he wished to
explain the triple office of the
Church: to teach, sanctity and
rule. He then devoted himself to
the teaching office of the Church
and said he was putting off the
others to another occasion, if God
so permits"
The Holy Father criticized what
he called noticeable attitudes
which pretend to set limits to the
power of the Bishops - the Roman
Pontiff not excepted - as being
strictly shepherds of the flock en-
trusted to them" These people, the
Pope said, would restrict ecclesias-
tics entirely to religious matters
so called in the strict sense and
would keep them far from what
they call the realities Of life"
we must take an open and
firm stand against errors of this
kind" the Pope said THE pow
er Of the Church IS not bound
by the limits OF matters strictly
religious, as they say. But the
whole matter of natural law, IFS
foundation, IFS Interpretation and
its application So far as their
moral aspects extend, are with
in the power of fhe Church"
Keeping the natural law is the
way man keeps on the path to his
supernatural end, the Pontiff said
and on this path his guide is the
Church, as ordained by Divine au-
thority.
Therefore" he stated, when il
is a question of Instructions and
propositions which the properly
constituted shepherds lie, the
Roman Pontiff for the whcie
